British crossover outfit Cage Fight have released a 8-bit video game-inspired music video for their newly shared single “Pick Your Fighter‘. Julien Truchan, vocalist of French deathgrinders Benighted, guests on that track. Cage Fight singer Rachel Aspe said of the track:
“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!”
The group worked with the Enemy Of Boredom Academy on the clip, inviting video game design students associated with the academy the chance to work on the clip. Cage Fight drummer Nick Plews, who runs one of the sites for that academy, stated of involving them:
“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.”
Cage Fight‘s new album “Exuvia” was released on May 01st through Spinefarm.
