One of a kind Rap Metal/Visual Kei band CHOKE deconstructed genres with their first digital single “No problem at all” released in June. Now they are ready to shock the world with the single “The Human Anthem”, to be distributed online on September 11, 2020! As an independent band, they have been taking advantage of the digital distribution which has allowed them to deliver their music to the world. Although their albums “CHOKE 1” and “CHOKE2” have been available to be purchased via download at their official online shop, the group joined the download and streaming platforms with the release of the single “No problem at all” on June 5. The digital single “No problem at all” was the first work with their new support drummer Toshiya Sato. This song seems to be the first step of the band moving into a more extreme direction. "No problem at all" is an intricate piece born from a reconstruction of various genres assembled into a single track. With a beginning full of trap beats, the composition leads into a disjointed flow of different styles that creates an unexpected progression. The song features REON‘s groovy rap that switches into low growls and penetrating squeals. A sui generis experience that might be hard to understand for the first time but it will draw you back for more. You can find “No problem at all” at popular streaming platforms; however, there is a limited edition available at their online store that includes the song "Shut the F*ck Up and Die feat.REON".
Three months after the release of “No problem at all”, CHOKE is proud to present their second digital single “The Human Anthem”. Yet another defiant work, it also shows the musical growth of the band. The Human Anthem is said to be the fastest song ever from CHOKE, going over 250BPM. The thrilling rhythm is built since the very first seconds of the song, featuring rapid skank beats, dense bass lines, and fierce speedy guitar licks. The incorporation of symphonic choirs also gives a greater impetus to the song. In addition to the song itself, the music video promises to be another thrilling experience. REON‘s portrayal of a psychotic scientist while the rest of the members seem to be their human experiments will give an uneasy feeling to the watcher. “The Human Anthem” was already released on digital platforms but you will not want to miss the limited edition available on their online shop! This edition includes the nihilist song Amyotrophic, plus instrumental tracks, high-quality audio files, and lyrics transcriptions.
