The Hives have released two singles, “Trapdoor Solution” and “The Bomb” that come off their highly anticipated album and their first in over a decade, The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons that arrives via word-leading music distributor FUGA on August 11. Coming in at just over a minute long, “Trapdoor Solution” is a frenetic, hair-raising guitar-thrashing track while “The Bomb” is a stomping, caustic head-banger reminiscent of their early 00s work. The double release follows “sharp, biting” (FLOOD) “Rigor Mortis Radio,” “slithering” (Consequence) single “Countdown To Shutdown” and “good old-fashioned rock stomper” (Vulture) “Bogus Operandi,” which earned wide critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, The Needle Drop, SPIN, Loudwire, Stereogum and more.
