New York City electro metal pioneers DOPE will release their seventh studio album, “Blood Money Part Zer0”, on February 24, 2023. The captivating music video for the LP’s latest single, “Misery”, can be seen below. The song showcases another guest appearance by mastermind Edsel Dope’s alternative project, Drama Club. The music video – directed by Edsel Dope and co-directed by Matt Zane – features the Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow performing stunts from their macabre sideshow. The circus has gained renown around the globe for their death-defying stunts and visual oddities.
Recently , Dope announced the track listing and album cover for the upcoming album, “Blood Money Part Zer0″. The band has already released the songs: “Believe (Feat. Drama Club),” “f**k It Up,” “No Respect” and “Best Of Me” featuring UFC superstar Juliana “Killer” Miller.
“Blood Money Part Zer0″ is available for pre-order in various physical configurations at THIS LOCATION.
“Blood Money Part Zer0″ is the band’s first release in 7 years and is the follow up to 2016’s highly successful “Blood Money Part 1,” which debuted at #27 on the Billboard top 200, selling over 15K units in its first week. Dope has sold more than a million combined albums and have amassed an incredible audience of nearly 2-million monthly listeners on Spotify, while racking up more than 130 million plays on their cult classic “Die MF Die.”
In a move to demonstrate the bands sincere appreciation to their loyal fan-base for more than two decades, DOPE is giving away “Blood Money Part Zer0” for free digitally. Longtime fans, curious listeners and people that enjoy gratis music can sign up to download the album for free on the band’s web site. A physical pre-order will also be available on the band’s web site for fans that want to purchase the new album in various physical formats.
Dope recently released an introspective infomercial, which doubles as a behind the scenes look into the real life of Edsel, his private life, and his many ventures outside of Dope. A very private person, virtually inactive on social media, Edsel is intentionally secretive about what he does with his time between records and tours. This video serves as a direct message to the fans, inviting them to see behind the curtain of the mysterious man, who’s creativity they have supported for years. In the end, the video is ultimately an introduction to “Blood Money Part Zer0” and will feature teaser clips from the upcoming music videos for “Believe” and “No Respect,” but is also so much more. The introduction to “Blood Money Part Zer0” video can be seen below.
