With 'Wet Death,' Blood Command once again showcase the fearless spirit that has made them one of the most distinctive forces in modern alternative and punk-leaning rock. Driven by relentless momentum, sharp hooks and the band’s trademark intensity, the track captures the chaotic charm and bold character that fans have come to expect from the Norwegian outfit.
The release also arrives alongside a special collaboration with legendary guitar manufacturer Gretsch.

Known for constantly pushing their own boundaries while keeping their rebellious spirit intact, Blood Command continue to carve out their own lane between punk, alternative rock and high-energy live performance.
