HEALTH fans, it's time to unplug your butts. Your faves have offered up another helping of their signature industrial rock, unveiling their first bit of new material in 2023, following last year's DISCO4 :: PART II, as well as their Danny Brown-Korn-Meechy Darko team-up.

Today, they've dropped "HATEFUL" via Loma Vista Recordings. The Matrix-meets-witch house track was co-written with SIERRA and features backing vocals from DISCO collaborator Street Sects' Leo Ashline. With its launch today, the song will be featured in the latest update of the video game soundtrack for ULTRAKILL.

It arrives alongside a video seemingly designed by an attention deficit-TikTok teen, with a runner game appearing in the foreground of the single artwork 10 seconds in, shortly followed by a soap-cutting video, "LIVE JOHN REACTION" and more before the whole thing goes up in flames.

"BACK TO THE CYBER GRIND," the band offered succinctly of the song in a statement. Take a gander below.
