Big Ass Truck I.E. hit full throttle with new EP “Found On Road Dead” and ‘Big Ass Gun’ video

Southern California’s Big Ass Truck I.E. are putting the pedal to the metal with today’s release of their explosive debut EP, “FOUND ON ROAD DEAD”, available now via Nuclear Blast Records. To celebrate, the Inland Empire hardcore wrecking crew has unleashed a brand new music video for the EP’s pit-destroying anthem ‘BIG ASS GUN,’ directed by Chris Klumpp (156/Silence, Currents).

Clocking in at just under two minutes, ‘BIG ASS GUN’ is a relentless barrage of crushing riffs, bone-rattling breakdowns and irresistible two-step grooves. Already a fan favorite at the band’s notoriously chaotic live shows, the track wastes absolutely no time getting down to business, delivering a concentrated dose of hardcore brutality designed to incite immediate headbanging and full-scale mosh pit destruction. No filler, no wasted motion, just pure, unfiltered aggression.

The five-track “FOUND ON ROAD DEAD” EP is a thunderous introduction to one of hardcore’s most outrageous new acts. Hailing from California’s Inland Empire, Big Ass Truck I.E. have carved out their own lane in the heavy music underground, combining pulverizing metallic hardcore, massive breakdowns and an unapologetically over-the-top monster truck aesthetic. From the punishing assault of previously released single “DRAGGING MEAT” to the sheer blunt-force impact of “BIG ASS GUN,” the EP delivers an uncompromising soundtrack to absolute mayhem.

In addition to its digital release, “FOUND ON ROAD DEAD” is being offered in several collectible physical editions. The limited Black Tire Edition, a 10-inch tire-inspired vinyl pressing, is available beginning October 20th, alongside a new EP T-shirt. Two additional vinyl variants, the F.O.R.D. Edition and the Crusher Edition (independent record store exclusive), are available for pre-order starting October 20th, with both editions scheduled for release on December 11th.

“FOUND ON ROAD DEAD” Track List:

1. FOUND ON ROAD DEAD

3. BIG ASS GUN
