Cage Fight release new lyric video for ‘Eating Me Alive’
CAGE FIGHT have released a new lyric video!
The new lyric video, for the track Eating Me Alive, is taken from the hardcore-meets-thrash metal band’s debut self-titled album, which was released back in May. The song features a guest appearance from the late Trevor Strnad of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and the lyric video’s release comes on World Mental Health Day, the international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma.
One of, if not the final recording by Strnad, the video was originally planned for May 13th (album release day), but was postponed due to his tragic unexpected passing just days before. Trevor‘s support for Rachel Aspe‘s work played a key role in the formation of the band, which is why his contribution to their debut album is so special. And the subject matter – struggles with anxiety and mental health – makes this poignant song even more significant.
Vocalist Rachel Aspe says, “over COVID I was looking for a new project and releasing covers for something to do, but also to hopefully connect with other musicians. When I released my cover of Statutory Ape, Trevor picked up on it and shared from THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER‘s pages, and it got a lot of attention. Trevor messaged me to say he loved it, and hoped that I’d find a band off the back of the cover. Not long after James (Monteith, guitar) contacted me about CAGE FIGHT and the rest is history. Had it not been for Trevor‘s support CAGE FIGHT may never have happened; it was a huge honour to have him guest on this song and it meant the world to us. He was one of the greatest supporters of the scene and new music, and is truly missed. RIP Trevor.”
On the song’s content, bassist Jon Reid adds, “Eating Me Alive is about the day-to-day struggles and challenges with mental health that are so prominent to so many people and how the sorrow and loneliness can have a tangible effect. This is something personal to us and we wanted to let people know that they are not alone. We can all have these feelings and that most importantly there is help out there, and we can all find something special. We have chosen to release this on World Mental Health Day as a sign of solidarity.”
