Music news: Hive Mind comes to life with the most unexpected line-ups

Hardcore metal and hip-hop/rap have always shared the same rebellious spirit, even though they’d rarely appear in the same playlists together, writes Music News Blitz’s Victoria Bruwer.

Earlier this year, Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry proved just how naturally the two worlds collide with the release of "Hive Mind," a relentless crossover that fused crushing breakdowns with razor-sharp rap verses. 

Named after the collaborative single, The Hive Mind Tour will see Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry co-headline a massive 24-date North American tour beginning on September 26th in Newport, Kentucky.

The tour will then be making stops in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Denver and more, finishing in Mexico City on November 8th.

As if that wasn't enough, they’ll be bringing along alternative rock favourites Superheaven and metalcore heavyweights Boundaries, making it one of the most exciting lineups announced this year.
