The Bloody Beetroots, also known as Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, is back with an explosive new track, “KILLING PUNK,” featuring UK rebels Bob Vylan. This fiery collaboration delivers a relentless sonic assault, combining Rifo’s grating beats with Bob Vylan’s razor-sharp lyricism.
“KILLING PUNK” marks The Bloody Beetroots’ first release of 2025 and follows 2024’s long-awaited comeback track “This is Blood” featuring N8NOFACE and Teddy Killerz. Both songs are part of The Bloody Beetroots Forever Pt. 1 & Pt. 2, a two-part series set to drop via Rifo’s newly launched label, Out Of Line Music.
A Legacy of Genre-Bending Chaos
Inspired by his deep-rooted love for punk rock and comics, Rifo first introduced The Bloody Beetroots in 2006, fusing classical training with raw electronic energy to create his signature rock-meets-dance hybrid. His debut album, ‘Romborama’ (2009), featured the legendary club anthem “Warp 1.9” with Steve Aoki, while 2013’s ‘Hide’ pushed into crossover territory, boasting collaborations with Paul McCartney and Tommy Lee.
By 2017, ‘The Great Electronic Swindle’ cemented The Bloody Beetroots as a genre-defying force, with features from Perry Farrell, Jet, Gallows, and Deap Vally. His two most recent EPs, ‘Heavy’ (2019) (with Zhu and Dr. Fresch) and ‘The Catastrophists’ (2021) (with Tom Morello), continued his sonic evolution.
From Gaming Soundtracks to Global Festivals
Beyond his albums, The Bloody Beetroots has left a massive footprint in pop culture, with his music appearing in MXGP Pro, Madden NFL, Asphalt, FIFA, Need for Speed, UFC, and RiMS Racing, as well as commercials for BMW, Fiat, Lancôme, and Ducati. His high-energy live performances have electrified major festivals worldwide, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Primavera, Pinkpop, and Fuji Rock.
With “KILLING PUNK” leading the charge into 2025, The Bloody Beetroots is proving once again that he remains one of the most rebellious and innovative figures in electronic music. Stay tuned for more as The Bloody Beetroots Forever Pt. 1 & Pt. 2 unfold.
