ENEMY INSIDE Release New Single / Video "Don't Call Me An Angel"; Venom Album To Be Unleashed In February 2025
December 6, 2024, 2 weeks ago
Enemy Inside are surprising their fans today with a brutal pre-Christmas present: the compact three-minute "Don't Call Me An Angel". The single follows the ultimate Halloween anthem, "Fuck That Party" [feat. Zak Tell] and will also be featured on their upcoming album, Venom, which will be released on February 28, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
There's a message of immense importance behind ENEMY INSIDE's latest track, making it an anchor for those struggling with mental health and self-care issues. Nastassja Giulia's initial vocals lead to a heavenly chorus that lets the listener drift off into distant worlds - only to tear them out of their dreams shortly afterwards with cutting riffs before the band's inner beast comes to light - also in the accompanying video.
“'Don’t Call Me An Angel' delves deep into the depths of depression and shows how this darkness can grip not only ourselves, but our loved ones as well. The song is an honest confession: a reminder that our inner struggles often affect the people around us and we inadvertently cause them pain. He describes the feeling of being caught in a whirlpool that drags others along, even though we want to protect them. ‘Don’t Call Me An Angel’ is both a warning and a silent cry for help: a haunting look at the hidden depths behind a smile.”
Venom can now be pre-ordered in the physical format of your choice (CD and vinyl versions come with bonus track “Innocent”), saved in advance on your favorite streaming platform, or pre-ordered digitally here.
Eager to experiment and more energetic than ever before, Enemy Inside have packed eleven new tracks onto the album, with which they venture into harder, more complex territories - based on a rousing mix of metalcore, industrial and modern rock. Venom was recorded under the aegis of guitarist Evan K, who also produced the record at Epsilon Studio before Christoph Wieczorek (Sawdust Recordings; Annisokay) gave the work his mixing and mastering polish.
“We have the feeling that we have finally found the sound that suits us, but that doesn’t mean that our next record will sound the same,” sums up Nastassja. “I think it's important to understand that a band wants to develop and develop musically. It's simply up to us to write and play the music we like as a creative collective - and that's exactly what this new album represents: we wanted to keep the catchy melodies, but at the same time incorporate more breakdowns and harsh vocals, without giving ourselves any credit to set stylistic boundaries.”
Venom has become an enormously varied, yet unified work and is just waiting to finally be discovered by Enemy Inside's following.
