CAGE FIGHT have released a new music video!
UK metal band have released a brand new single, Pick Your Fighter. The track is taken from their upcoming second studio album Exuvia, which is set to be released on May 1st via Spinefarm Records. The song also features a guest appearance from Julien Truchan of BENIGHTED.
Speaking about the single, vocalist Rachel Aspe explains, “we wanted to write a fun, sing-along party song with themes of determination and fighting spirit, and the result is Pick Your Fighter. I also wanted to pay tribute to a French artist who marked my teenage years, and my dad suggested NÂDIYA, an R&B singer who is huge back home. Musical and lyrical motifs in Pick Your Fighter nod to Nâdiya‘s hit Et C’est Parti, a motivational party song that was a huge hit. The crowning touch is some very heavy guest vocals from my French friend Julien Truchan of the band BENIGHTED. And there are pig squeals, many pig squeals!”
Inspired by the Et C’est Parti music video, which uses a boxing ring as metaphor, the Pick Your Fighter video adopts the style of an 8‑bit combat video game. The band collaborated with Enemy of Boredom Academy, an organisation supporting neurodivergent young people in creative media.
Drummer Nick Plews comments: “That lightbulb moment, which came in the back of the van after a gig, was so exciting. I couldn’t wait to get back and rally the troops to get this looking awesome! On a personal note, this is definitely a special moment for me, and I am beyond impressed with what the students have achieved.”
