CHOKE Releases Nu-Metal Digital Single "Hack to the basic"

Japanese Nu-Metal band CHOKE recently released their new digital single "Hack to the basic" on January 15, 2021. While their last single "The Human Anthem" was an exhilarating ride that featured an aggressive sound with a metalcore approach, CHOKE are back to their Nu-Metal roots and evoke a groovy and exciting mood with the song “Hack to the basic”.

Although CHOKE are more known for intricated compositions with frenetic disjointed rhythms, the band decided to turn back to the basics and embrace the music that has most influenced the members: Nu-Metal from the late ‘90s and early 2000s. It’s not only a glance to the past but a manifesto to fueling the scene again.

“Hack to the basic” is filled with bouncing beats that invite the listener to enjoy the groove. A style that completely set this song apart from others in CHOKE’s discography. The track starts with an uncanny intro that flows into a chorus with fry screams. The tune then transitions into verses with a cool vibe and catchy rap flows that features turntable scratches and loud resonations from the bass. In addition to the change of rhythm, another major difference is the simpler guitar style:  it has not the typical meticulous riffs that CHOKE usually deliver; but that’s definitively not a bummer, this time is all about the chill!

"Hack to the basic" is already available on popular digital platforms. However, an exclusive edition can be purchased at their official online store. The download includes a re-recorded version of “Stay high”, from their first album "CHOKE1", as a bonus track. This digital package consists of hi-res audio files along with instrumentals and a lyrics sheet.

About CHOKE
CHOKE is an emerging nu-metal/visual kei band from Japan. They started with the overall goal of creating a unique sound by mixing rap metal with djent. Their experimental music, nevertheless, does not stick to only one genre and has evolved since their formation in 2017. The band has incorporated into their sound hard-core, trap-core, metalcore, thrash and groove metal influences while adding electronic, symphonic, or progressive elements into the mix. CHOKE offers a peculiar dissonant blend of heavy music with hip hop rhythm.

Their cranked-up songs feature dropped tuning instruments, intense breakdowns, distorted riffs with fast guitar licks, heavy vibrating bass lines along with thick punchy drum beats. The dynamic vocals combine clear rapping with growls and piercing screams. Harsh and edgy lyrics regularly express social criticism and dogma rejection. CHOKE will start a fire on the listeners to speak up their minds and tear the world apart!

REON – Vocals
KVYA NONO – Guitar
