Swollen Teeth have returned with their latest single, “Money and Greed”, a visceral track that dives headfirst into the ravenous nature of unchecked ambition and the personal and societal ruin it can leave in its wake, providing a ferocious statement on the insatiable hunger for wealth and power.

Directed by the band, the video melds Swollen Teeth’s brutal sound with a meticulously choreographed breakdance sequence from elite dancers Luigi, Pnut, Bomani SunRa, Oshen Rise, FleaRock, and Spidey. This rare fusion of breakdance and extreme metal brings together two intense cultural forces, crafting a visual experience as innovative as it is awesome. Fans can stream the single HERE and watch the official video HERE.

Swollen Teeth express the track’s confronting message in their own words: 

In a world where everyone plays to gain, we lose everything.”

Much like it’s predecessor, “Family” which was released last month, the raw intensity of “Money and Greed” is fueled by the creative synergy of legendary producer, Ross Robinson and Slipknot’s Sid Wilson. This new era of Swollen Teeth, and their debut full-length album, which will be released in 2025marks the first project where the two have joined forces as co-producers. Known for producing Slipknot’s seminal first albums, Robinson has a reputation for pushing bands to their extremes, while Wilson’s innovative energy and expert aural world-building brings a formidable edge to Swollen Teeth’s sound.

Swollen Teeth burst onto the scene in 2021 with their self-titled EP, a visceral blend of brutality and raw emotion that garnered praise from heavy music outlets and fans alike. Singles “EMPTY“, “LETHAL” “CAR CRASH” and “SWOLLENTEETH” showcased their unpredictable, frenetic energy, which Revolver Magazine described as “brutal as hell.” with Metal Hammer enthusing that there’s an air of grotesque nu metal nastiness that feels like a re-vamped take on the misanthropic nihilism of Iowa’s finest. and Kerrang! musing “What’s really heavy, masked, mysterious, sounds like it was made by complete lunatics, and involves Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson and producer Ross Robinson?.

The two new singles the band has released this year build on the foundations laid by their 2021 EP, bringing forth a sound that is both more refined and more intense. Captureing Swollen Teeth‘s unique blend of aggressive riffs, gut-wrenching vocals, and sophisticated atmospheric elements, creating a soundscape that is as avant garde as it is empowering. Collecting swarms of new fans With “Family,” Swollen Teeth invite listeners to join their journey, offering a sanctuary where raw emotion and collective strength thrive.

Swollen Teeth wowed fans at Knotfest Iowa last month where they gave “Family” its live debut and put on a show-stealing performance, garnering a huge crowd and winning over a swathe of new fans. Watch footage of their full set shot by House of Masks HERE or by clicking the image below. 

The sound, the look, the atmosphere, the lore. Swollen Teeth are as much a ritual as a performance, summoning primal ferocity in clouds of intrigue with a thundering rumble. Each musical outburst arrives shrouded in mystery, enveloped by a sense of dread, with passion and purpose. Heavy percussion, riffs, punk gang chants, dive bombs, turntables, breakdowns, shrieks, guttural screams, and powerfully unashamed anthemic melodies coalesce in Swollen Teeth. The collective absorbs the raw intensity of the most potent subculture and spits it back with a determined uniqueness. They’ve spent countless hours in the lab, lobbing out occasional missives online like Molotov cocktails. Each of the scattered, chopped up, and explosive clips unleashed to the world, culled from a handful of shadowy live appearances, built anticipation for the group’s inevitable ascension. They travel in our dimension but are not of it. This is otherworldly chaos without apology. /W\
