To date, they have released five EPs: 100% No Modern Talking, Rage Valley, Haunted House, Trigger Warning, and Lost Souls EP. They have also collaborated with Swedish House Mafia on their single, Antidote.
Their debut studio album, Abandon Ship, was released in November of 2014. Abandon Ship saw a deviation in sound from the heavier dubstep sound Knife Party had become known for on their earlier EP's, incorporating elements of more mainstream electro house. Originally scheduled for 27th October, unforeseen circumstances caused the album's release to be pushed back to 24th November. However, an accidental iTunes leak on 7th November made it available for download more than two weeks early to those who had pre-ordered it.
In March of 2015, at Miami's Ultra Music Festival, they debuted three new tracks, including a collaboration with Tom Staar, and later teased at a collaboration featuring Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine. On 24th July 2015, Knife Party announced via their official Twitter that fans could expect their next release, entitled Trigger Warning, to be released within the next 6-8 weeks. However, due to difficulties clearing samples, it was delayed until 20th November.

Internet Friends
Knife Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know so much about you
I love you
Look at everything I've done for you
You'd be nothing without me
Why don't you answer me?
I bet you're busy talking to some fucking slut
Is she hotter than me?
Would you fuck me?, are you gay?
You blocked me on Facebook
And now you're going to die
Now you're going to die
You blocked me on Facebook
And now you're going to die
Now you're going to die
Now you're going to die
Now you're going to die
Now you're going to die
The lyrics of Knife Party’s song Internet Friends appear to be addressing the darker side of social media and online interaction. The song begins with a seemingly friendly and innocent proposition to become friends but quickly becomes aggressive and threatening when the person being addressed fails to respond. The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer has invested heavily in their social media relationship with the other person and feels entitled to their attention and affection. The chorus is a repetition of the line “You blocked me on Facebook, and now you’re going to die,” which can be interpreted as a thinly veiled threat to the person who has ended the social media connection.
The lyrics of Internet Friends highlight the toxic elements of social media and the way it can lead to unhealthy obsessions and a sense of ownership over other people’s lives. Additionally, the lyrics can be interpreted as a demonstration of the power dynamics that can be present in social media, especially when there is a perceived imbalance in terms of popularity, influence, or attention. The song can also be seen as a commentary on our increasing dependence on social media to define our worth, as well as the vicious cycle of validation and rejection that it creates.

I love having parties with knives in rage valley, while destroying centipedes with my powerglove. The cool thing is, after that, we threw its corpse into a big bonfire. A little while after that, my internet friend came over and he brought his boss mode EDM trend machine. A few months after that we went on a cruise together, me and my internet friends from before, but the ship actually hit something and started sinking so we had to abandon it.
