CHOKE Provokes the World with Their Digital Single the HUMAN ANTHEM
/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.
For those who are new to the world of CHOKE, they started activities in the underground scene of Tokyo, Japan in 2017. Their releases are proof of their willingness to experiment to create their very own sound. Vocalist REON, guitarist KVYA NONO, and bassist B5 have been showing that they are not here to follow patterns but creating a new path.
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. This track provokes an instant rush of adrenaline! There were high expectations ahead since the upload of the short trailers in August. Fans will surely be pleased with this innovative piece! “The Human Anthem” will be a blast at live concerts as well!
This is not a hymn to praise humanity; in fact, it points out the misery of not living freely. Trapped in a suffocating status quo, people seem to be forced to kill their spirits and are dragged to live in a certain way. Rather than resign yourself, CHOKE incites you to make a paradigm shift and break the mold. 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 all digital platforms here 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. This new single is an exhilarating ride that you will desire to experience over and over again! Are you ready to break free and join CHOKE‘s riot?
