The Lion’s Daughter release new song ‘Neon Teeth’
THE LION’S DAUGHTER have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Neon Teeth, is taken from the American synth-laden metal band’s upcoming new album, Skin Show, which is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Season of Mist.
For the first part of its career, THE LION’S DAUGHTER was deeply rooted in blackened sludge metal. However, when it came time for album number three, the St. Louis trio abandoned all tradition and traversed into new territory through experimentations with Future Cult, a synth-laden metal record. Now, the band picks up where it left off, once again delivering an offering that cannot be labelled or defined.
“The synths were always something that I heard in my head, but just couldn’t figure out the logistics,” explains frontman Rick Giordano regarding the distinct directional change. “I also had to completely stop giving a fuck about how anyone might react to them. Most of the synths on Future Cult are very aggressive and rooted in horror, which I think was a safe way to use them. For this record, I wanted to stop playing it safe. I wanted to use more natural synth sounds and let things take on soft and somber tones at times, rather than just screaming alongside the guitars at all times. There was a lot of experimenting to see what other roles the synths could play in the music and what shapes they could create. I think we spent our early years as a band just trying to figure out who we were, and on Future Cult, the answer became clear to us. Instead of changing that formula, we chose to expand on it and see where else it could lead.”
“This was our attempt at a straight-forward pop record,” he continues. “It, of course, all still came out fucked because it’s us creating it. But I tried to imagine our band playing a giant arena and what that would sound like. I wanted to strip away some of the chaos and just write stronger songs. I didn’t want the band to mellow out, but I did want to see if we could mature a bit. If the previous album was an intense sci-fi slasher, this one would be closer to a Hitchcock or DePalma film.”
