Alternative hard rockers Voodoo Terror Tribe have released a lyric video for their new track “Cell”, which features guest vocals by Ill Niño’s Cristian Machado. Guitarist Emir Erkal states:
“‘Cell’ is a song we’ve been kicking around for a while; a brainchild of our bassist Primer. It wasn’t until entering the studio with our producer Cristian Machado that the song finally fleshed out into the monster it became: a guttural/melodic/schizophrenic exchange of words between an insane girl and what are either her captors, or simply the demons in her head. And an analogy of the fact that working with the Machado-nado drove us *bleeping* bat-shit crazy.”
Machado adds:
“‘Cell’ is a metal maze, you know what you’re in for when you’re inside but you won’t figure out any of the turns upon first observation. Each part in the arrangement truly speaks on its own. The song as a whole is anthemic, the riffs are crushing, the lyrics are romantically obscene, and the stench of old school metal vibe is everywhere.
I remember experimenting endlessly with the chord progression for the chorus. It is not easy adding unforced melody into such a metallic composition but, if you’re not pushing walls you’re a prisoner to them and I am so grateful to work with bands that truly want their own spin. VTT & “Cell”, I love this song, I love this album, it’s unlike anything out there.”
The song appears on the group’s forthcoming album The Sun Shining Cold, which is scheduled to drop on November 11th. Pre-orders are available via Bandcamp and CD Baby.
