  Masked Misfits BLACKGOLD are back at it again with new single ‘Boogeyman’, which is accompanied by a spooky video in an abandoned ‘Stranger Things’ style mansion. The video sees the anonymous five explore the inside of the house, but one by one they fall victim to the ‘upside down’. See the video below: “‘Boogeyman’ is about that person that haunts your dreams. They have full control over you within your subconscious and it feels like you can’t escape.” Although the theme of the song has its darkness, in true BLACKGOLD style you’ll find some tongue in cheek, pop culture references within the lyrics. Following the release of their previous single ‘On Another Level’, BLACKGOLD picked up a huge amount of online traction on TikTok and caught the attention of over 1.5 million viewers which included Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. Along with a huge surge in fans and streaming numbers, the band were also invited on tour by Durst and will now join Limp Bizkit on their rescheduled, ...

Today the masked misfits have unleashed a new single ‘On Another Level', an anthem to salute all the real rock stars out there. Coupled with a dynamic performance video, it’s the first time we get a really good look at the members of BLACKGOLD as well as a bit more of an insight to their humour and personality. See the video for ‘On Another Level’ below: “‘On Another Level' is a homage to the kings of Nu Metal and a dig at the joke music has become. BLACKGOLD writes music that feels true to who we are and what we represent as a unit. We are sick of seeing all the narcissism and ego that is being pumped into music and we want to strip it all back and just make damn good tunes.” Having only launched in February 2022, BLACKGOLD have made waves across the industry, receivin...

Check it out below: "As many people already know, rap music is my first love and my mission to find a space to tastefully honor that in a rock n roll fashion is ongoing. So when I heard this rendition of 'I Ain't Goin Out Like That' from the undercover homies BLACKGOLD I was so thankful to hear people holding guitars doing right by the funk and LA rap legends Cypress Hill. PS I genuinely don't even know who these foos actually are under them masks, but this cover goes hard so fuck it" Jason Aalon - Fever 333 Since they first burst onto the scene in February 2022, BLACKGOLD have made a huge statement with their action packed video...
