First Gojira at the Olympics and now Knocked Loose on Late Night TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it seems that 2024 is a historic year for metal as the genre continues to make its way further into mainstream pop culture.

With their viral performance at 2023's Coachella helping the band blow up in popularity over the past year and a half, it seems like everything has been leading up to the past month. Following the release of May 2024's critically-acclaimed album "You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To" Knocked Loose is at the biggest point of their career. Their song "Suffocate (ft. Poppy)" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance and Knocked Loose recently announced they would be performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to the surprise of extreme metal and hardcore fans across the world.

If you've ever wanted to see one of the scene's most brutal acts crush a live performance on stage while a crowd of hardcore moshers go absolutely nuts on live TV (what metal fan doesn't??), this is for you. During their chill-inducing performance with help from genre-bending artist Poppy, Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris even surprised the crowd with an added guttural pig squeal at the ending of "Suffocate".

Watch the official live footage of "Suffocate" below.
