TEAM-UP WITH ALPHA WOLF FOR METAL COLLAB ‘CANNIBAL’

AVAILABLE NOW ON STREAMING SERVICES HERE

Gadigal/Sydney-based alt-rock genre-benders RedHook are back with new track ‘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 provocative industrial metal track inspired by both bands’ collective vision to celebrate more sexual liberation, and particularly female 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.”

In honour of their previous track ‘Breaking Up With‘, RedHook have just announced their biggest Australian headline shows ever this August and September. The tour package is bursting with femme power, with the band to be joined by Naarm/Melbourne melodic rock force The Beautiful Monument and Mulubinba/Newcastle pop-punk stalwarts Eat Your Heart Out, with Boorloo/Perth metalcore rising stars Patient Sixty-Seven opening the night.

RedHook had a jam-packed live schedule across 2023, which saw them tour Australia supporting legendary rockers The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction, before completing their biggest ever, largely sold-out headline tour, which included a recording of triple j‘s Live At The Wireless at their sold-out Melbourne show.

Their debut record, 2023’s ‘Postcard From A Living Hell‘ peaked at #10 on the ARIA Album Charts and was triple j‘s Feature Album. Their final musical offering of 2023, previous single ‘Tourist’, was embraced by triple j, Double J, Kerrang! Radio (UK), The Music and Punktastic (UK). Previous releases have also received immense support from the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, BBC Radio 1 (UK), Kerrang! (UK), triple j Unearthed, NME, Hysteria Magazine, Kill Your Stereo, MANIACS and Wall of Sound.
