Listen to “New Empire Vol. 2” here.
“New Empire Vol. 2” has already been met with critical acclaim, with Kerrang! stating,“The companion to a first volume released earlier this year, New Empire, Vol. 2 finds rap-rock veterans Hollywood Undead on fine form… New Empire, Vol. 2 proves that its creators remain capable of standing on their own two feet.” Rock ‘N’ Load Magazineshared, “From start to finish, the album provides the different levels that we have come to know and love the band for while continuing to show their growth.” Cryptic Rock claimed, “Ultimately, with New Empire Vol. 2, Hollywood Undead has released yet another brilliant set of new music.”

Formed in 2005, Hollywood Undead inched towards mainstream dominance under the radar with unprecedented success for a modern band. Preceding the current playlist-hopping genre-less boom, they defied stylistic boundaries from day one. Integrating rap, rock, and electronic, the seminal 2008 debut Swan Songs went platinum. 2011’s gold-selling American Tragedy bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 with Notes from the Underground soaring to #2 in 2013. Day of the Dead [2015] and Five [2017] brought the group’s total streams past 1 billion and New Empire Vol 1. seeing their combined streams across Spotify and YouTube hit a staggering 2 billion. Along the way, they sold out tours on four continents and garnered acclaim courtesy of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, Alternative Press, Revolver, and more.
