HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD SHARE NEW SINGLE
Today, the globally recognized powerhouse and genre-bending force Hollywood Undead unleash their relentless new single ‘1x1’, out now via Sumerian Records. Built upon a foundational sample of the iconic riff from Slayer’s ‘Raining Blood’, the track arrives as the band translates the massive momentum of 2025 into an extensive spring and summer festival circuit across North America and Europe.
A defiant and heavy-hitting anthem of endurance, ‘1x1’ captures Hollywood Undead at their most confident. Anchored by hard-pounding beats, the unmistakable bones of one of metal's most legendary tracks, and a chorus that lands with the weight of a final verdict, the song unfolds as a high-octane victory lap. The band’s signature punchy rap verses cut through the production with a veteran’s precision, proving exactly why they remain a staple of the scene.
Speaking on the release, Hollywood Undead shares: “This song is about resilience. People are always going to doubt you or try to bring you down, but the point is getting back up every time and reminding them you’re still here, and that you can’t be replaced.”
Produced by Matt Good (known for his work with Skrillex and The Haunt), ‘1x1’ bridges the band’s nu-metal roots with a modern, stadium-ready energy. The production utilizes a slowed-down ‘Raining Blood’ riff to establish a dark, driving vibe that explodes into an undeniable banger—the kind of sonic alchemy the group has spent nearly twenty years perfecting. It is the natural evolution of a collective that remains fully aware of their impact and legacy.
Across seventeen years, Hollywood Undead has commanded a massive digital footprint that solidifies their status as leaders in the alternative space. With a staggering 3.2 billion cross-platform streams and 4.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the band continues to back up their bold lyrical stance with undeniable numbers. From their early days to this latest chapter, they have maintained a singular lane defined by an uncompromising DIY spirit and a relentless connection to their global fanbase.
Hollywood Undead continues their momentum with the release of their new single ‘1x1’, which arrives via Sumerian Records. This track serves as the third piece in a sequence that began with the band's October 2024 debut, Hollywood Forever, which achieved over 20.3 million cross-platform streams and reached #18 at Active Rock radio. While the June 2025 release of ‘SAVIOR’ moved the band toward a darker, more exposed sound, ‘1x1’ marks a deliberate shift back, serving as a confrontation rather than a confession.
The band maintained a heavy schedule throughout 2025, which included a co-headline tour with Tech N9ne. They also secured mainstage appearances at major festivals such as Sonic Temple, Welcome to Rockville, and Louder Than Life. Additionally, they completed a full support run with Falling In Reverse on the God Is A Weapon tour, hitting arenas and amphitheatres across North America, while simultaneously continuing work on their ninth studio album.
Following this, ‘1x1’ arrives as the group enters a festival circuit covering two continents. Their upcoming schedule includes a kickoff performance at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach this May, a full European tour throughout the summer featuring a mainstage slot at Download Festival 2026, and a stateside conclusion at Rocklahoma in September.
