Blood of the Argonaut unleash chaotic new single ‘Altered State’

Birmingham metal-hardcore outfit Blood of the Argonaut have stormed onto the scene with ‘Altered State’, the first single from their upcoming debut album The Brutal Truth.

Clocking in at three minutes and nineteen seconds, ‘Altered State’ is a no-holds-barred assault of punk-metal ferocity, fusing razor-sharp riffage, sledgehammer drums, and a warped sense of groove that nods to both old-school aggression and modern chaos. The track is accompanied by a visually twisted video that clashes culture-war imagery with hallucinogenic circus nightmares, mirroring the song’s furious unpredictability.

Taking cues from legends like Biohazard, Terror, Madball, and Tool, Blood of the Argonaut blend hardcore muscle with nu-metal weight and an unnerving sense of atmosphere. With The Brutal Truth set to land soon, ‘Altered State’ offers a blistering first taste of a band unafraid to get loud, weird, and wildly unhinged.
