Gadigal/Sydney-based alt-rock genre-benders RedHook are back gnashing their teeth and licking their lips on Cannibal, featuring Naarm/Melbourne metalcore titans Alpha Wolf – produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore).
Cannibal is a dark and sexy industrial metal stomper inspired by both bands’ collective vision to celebrate more sexual liberation, and particularly female sexual empowerment, in heavy music.
Vocalist Emmy Mack talks about the inspiration behind Cannibal: “I wanted to write a song that felt like Nine Inch Nails meets ‘WAP‘. An empowering metal anthem that would help me smash some of the stigma and shame around sex that I felt for a long time after surviving SA. Consensual sex is one of the most awesome things in the world! And we’re beyond grateful to the legends in Alpha Wolf for backing this vision, for helping us inject more sexual liberation into the world of heavy music, and above all, for conspiring with us to create a horny metal song about oral sex that people can fuck to.”
