CODE ORANGE have just revealed their new track called “Underneath”, coming from their new, highly anticipated new album, slated for a March 13th release via Roadrunner Records! “Underneath” is heralded by the LP’s title track, offering a glimpse into the reconfigured and urgent compositions of a band at their most ambitious. “Underneath” is also joined by a Max Moore directed music video which is streaming now on the band’s YouTube Channel.
Vocalist and drummer Jami Morgan commented:
“Underneath is about facing the duality in ourselves as individuals and as a society in an overcrowded, overexposed, all-consuming digital nirvana. Everyone has a voice and no one’s seems to matter… plummet down the rabbit hole of your deepest fears, anxieties and regrets to confront the monster that has been building underneath. down.we.go”
“Underneath” finds Code Orange once again confounding expectations, piling element on element, and towering towards the sky. Rattling drum loops give way to bursts of rage as “Underneath” transforms into something colossal, daring, and resilient, setting the tone for one of the year’s most exhilarating heavy records.
UNDERNEATH is available today for pre-order with bundles and four limited edition vinyl colorways, each featuring a gatefold jacket with a lenticular cover, also available. Produced by Morgan and Nick Raskulinecz with co-producer Will Yip, UNDERNEATH features additional programming from Chris Vrenna, and was mixed by Yip and Code Orange’s own Eric ‘Shade’ Balderose.
In 2017, Code Orange flipped the heavy music world on its head with their breakthrough album FOREVER, a collection that masterfully mixed hardcore aggression with urgent industrial textures, earning the band a breakthrough GRAMMY nomination and top placement on several “Best of 2017” lists including: Rolling Stone’s “20 Best Metal Albums of 2017,” Revolver’s “20 Best Albums of 2017,” and The Independent’s “Top 20 Rock & Metal Albums of 2017.”
This past summer, Code Orange made headlines in the professional wrestling world with the release of “Let Me In,” their official entrance theme for WWE Superstar ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. Code Orange previously featured at WWE’s NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III performing a rendition of wrestler Aleister Black’s entrance theme alongside Incendiary’s Brendan Garrone. “Let Me In” followed Code Orange’s 2018 release of THE HURT WILL GO ON, a digital EP featuring “3 Knives” and “The Hunt” Feat. Corey Taylor, as well as “The Hurt Will Go On” (Shade Remix), an official remix of Code Orange’s “Hurt Goes On” helmed by the band’s guitarist and vocalist Shade. More recently the Code Orange has collaborated with a wide array of artists, co-producing Injury Reserve’s “HPNGC” Feat. JPEGMAFIA, as well as serving up a pair of remixes for alt-J’s “Hit Me Like That Snare” and “Adeline.”
Comprised of Jami Morgan (Drums / Vocals), Eric ‘Shade’ Balderose (Guitar / Electronics / Vocals), Reba Meyers (Guitar / Vocals), Dominic Landolina (Guitar) and Joe Goldman (Bass), Code Orange are set to perform at an array of festivals this spring including the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 10th + 17th and Columbus, OH’s Sonic Temple Festival on May 15th [Itinerary Below].

Lyrics:
Under the black and inside the blue
A bone thick spell has washed away
It took some time but I realized
The obstacle’s the only way
Under the black and inside the blue
A bone thick spell has washed away
It took some time but I realized
The obstacle’s the only way(The guinea pigs of a generation)
An experiment to be improved on
(A story for them all to tell)
A history of forced intrusion
They pricked me but I didn’t bleed
They singed me just to test the smell
They cut me but I didn’t feel
I was just too deep in to failYou think you know what you want
Until you’re inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you’re drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you’re under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you’re under the skin(The guinea pigs of a generation)
Now I’m in the lion’s den
(A story for them all to tell)
Now I am at the precipice
I’m the one that has to end this
I’m the one that has to win
Bred to self-induced entrapment
I’m the one who lacked the disciplineYou think you know what you want
Until you’re inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you’re drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you’re under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you’re under the skin
You think you know what you want
Until you’re inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you’re drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you’re under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you’re under the skinUnderneath retread aesthetic
Underneath your fake respect
Underneath the sales and figures
Will you quit when they don’t react?
Underneath the costume changes
Underneath the acceptance
Underneath the online presence
Underneath the influence(Under the wave you’ve been waiting for)
(There’s a truth)
(You got it all figured out)
(Until you’re drowning)You think you know what you want
Until you’re inside the nest
You got it all figured out
Until you’re drowning in it
You think you know who you are
Until you’re under duress
You got it all figured out
Until you’re under the skinYou think you know what you want
(Underneath retread aesthetic)
Until you’re inside the nest
(Underneath your fake respect)
You got it all figured out
(Underneath the sales and figures)
Until you’re drowning in it
(Will you quit when they don’t react?)
You think you know who you are
(Underneath the virtue signal)
Until you’re under duress
(Underneath the thinnest skin)
You got it all figured out
(Underneath the collective conscience)
Until you’re under the skin
(Underneath the consequence)(Under the wave you’ve been waiting for)
(There’s a truth)
(You got it all figured out)
(Until you’re drowning in it)(Under the wave you’ve been waiting for)
(There’s a truth)
(You got it all figured out)
(Until you’re drowning in it)
