Subsad just dropped another banger—and this one hits different.

The Milwaukee-based artist, a key figure in the Run Along Forever collective, returns with “Punish Myself,” a relentless two-track single that channels raw emotion through a wall of high-energy production. Released May 29, this isn’t the kind of track you passively consume. It demands attention.

Clocking in at just over two minutes, “Punish Myself” wastes no time. The instrumentation leads the charge here—pulsing, urgent, and nearly suffocating in its intensity. The tempo drives forward like a racing heartbeat while maintaining a crushing low-end presence that fans of Subsad’s previous work will immediately recognize. There’s an unmistakable darkness to the mood, a valence that sits deep in the emotional basement. It’s introspective self-destruction set to a beat you can’t help but nod along to.

What makes Subsad’s work consistently compelling is the ability to straddle worlds—blending elements of hip-hop, industrial textures, and underground electronic aesthetics into something that refuses easy categorization. “Punish Myself” continues that tradition. It’s the sonic equivalent of staring into the void and finding it staring back, except the void has impeccable taste in bass frequencies.

For those tracking Subsad’s trajectory from “Rich Off A Laptop” through last year’s “I Miss Who I Thought You Were” video, this new single marks another evolution in the artist’s increasingly refined sound. The Run Along Forever collective continues to be one of the most exciting pockets of Milwaukee’s underground, and Subsad remains at its dark, pulsating heart.
