Nü-metallers Jynx have dropped an animated music video done by Frankie “Skumbagovich” Shnaidman (‘Terrifier 2‘) for their song “Cuchifrito“. The New York-based outfit had Veil Of Maya guitarist Marc Okubo assist with the writing process for that track, which was produced by Zach Jones (Zero 9:36, Chelsea Grin).
Speaking of that pairing, guitarist Jerry DeLorenzo offered:
“The process was a fun one, we normally go in knowing what we want out of a session, but with no pre-recorded material so it all flows naturally. When we laid out where we wanted this song to go, Zach mentioned the idea of getting Marc involved and it felt like a no brainer. We clicked pretty instantly and were able to crank out the instrumental in just a few hours.”
Vocalist Tommy Roulette added of the song’s lyrics:
“I typically try to keep our lyrics on a positive note, but I needed to get shit off my chest this time. Over the past few years while working in NYC nightlife, I’ve happened to lose a lot of friends to drugs, especially because of the recent fentanyl crisis. It was overwhelming and put me in a very negative space. I’m not telling anyone how to live their lives, but if you do partake, fentanyl test strips can save a life. Be safe out there.”
