Knocked Loose & Denzel Curry – ‘Hive Mind’ New Single & Video

Kentucky metalcore band Knocked Loose have released a modern single, “Hive Mind,” featuring a guest verse from rapper Denzel Curry, accompanied by a music video filmed at the David Armstrong Extreme Park in Louisville.

The collaboration, which arrived on February 10, 2026, marks a significant moment for both artists, blending Knocked Loose’s aggressive metalcore sound with Curry’s rapid-fire lyrical delivery. The video, directed by both Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris and Eric Richter, showcases the band and Curry performing amidst a lively scene at the skate park, a local landmark.

Garris described the collaboration as a long-held ambition. “This is something we’ve talked about doing for a long time,” he said, according to a press release. “We wondered if we could pull it off and who would be down. In the very beginning, we said for it to work, it would have to be Denzel Curry. Because he gets it.” Curry previously demonstrated his appreciation for heavier music in 2019 with a cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls on Parade.”

“Hive Mind” is the first new music from Knocked Loose since the release of their critically acclaimed 2024 album, “You Won’t Head Before You’re Supposed To.” That album included the Grammy-nominated track “Suffocate,” featuring Poppy, and garnered praise from publications including GQ, Forbes, and Pitchfork. The band’s performance of “Suffocate” with Poppy on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was described as “culture-defining.”

The release of “Hive Mind” comes as Knocked Loose prepares for a busy touring schedule. The band is slated to perform at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas on April 25 and in Dallas on October 24. They will also join Metallica on select dates this summer, and are scheduled to support Bring Me The Horizon in Europe.

The song’s lyrics, as reported by Rolling Stone, offer a critique of conformity and groupthink, with Curry rapping about the pressures to follow trends and the consequences of independent thought. Garris’ vocals echo this sentiment, questioning the authenticity of self in the absence of individual conviction.
