Pittsburgh heavy-music trailblazers Code Orange have never been afraid of experimenting with other genres or engaging in a left-field collaboration. They’ve released a split EP with pop-punk band Tigers Jaw. They’re toured with everyone from hip-hop acts like Ghostemane and Wicca Phase Springs Eternal to dark pop singer Nicole Dollanganger. They’ve remixed U.K. indie rockers alt-J. Today, the group saw the release of what might be its most outside-the-box foray, “HPNGC,” an eerie, off-kilter collaboration with alternative hip-hop crew Injury Reserve that also features Deftones-approved rapper Jpegmafia.

“Injury Reserve, to me, represents creativity in hip-hop in the same way I aspire to in heavy music,” Code Orange drummer-vocalist-bandleader Jami Morgan told Revolver back in June. “They have managed to walk the tight rope of maintaining the soul of what hip-hop is with poignant lyrical content, while remaining on the forefront of pushing the boundaries with insane vocal delivery and cutting-edge production. I met them through our mutual respect for each other’s music and we see eye to eye on many levels. … I think we are gonna help bridge the gap between what we do and hip-hop in a way that can be innovative and is not just recycling the same tired ideas.”
