ME AND THAT MAN Reunite With Original Singer JOHN PORTER For New Standalone Single "Fight!"
December 1, 2021, 2 years ago
About four years ago, the paths of Behemoth mastermind Adam "Nergal" Darski and guitarist & rock musician John Porter fatefully crossed. In great contrast to his previous career, Nergal joined forces with Porter to bring a whole new project to life: Me And That Man. After the first album, the two founding fathers parted ways, and Nergal went on to continue Me And That Man as a solo project featuring various prominent guest artists.
Only a few days after the release of the new Me And That Man album, New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.2 – and an incredible four years since the duo released their last track together – a brand new, standalone Me And That Man single, "Fight", has surfaced featuring the nostalgic vocal contributions of John Porter!
Right from the very beginning, "Fight" takes no detours and promises groovy melodies, deep basslines, dirty guitars and snare hits that shoot straight into the listener's mind. The spotlight shines on John Porter's raspy, spitting lead vocals that summon up the old spirits of Me And That Man's origins. Both new fans and especially those who have been following along from the beginning can look forward to this collaboration!
Nergal on the collaboration:"'Fight!' is a last minute endeavour Me And That Man committed with John Porter. This spontaneous collaboration was a reaction to the great vibes that were shared during our recent tour in Poland. While the lyrics themselves may not be positive and vital it captures John's frustration towards all the bullshit we, the human race have been fed in the recent decade... It's a straight up protest song! I love it!”
Me And That Man released their new studio album, New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 2, via Napalm Records this Friday, November 19.
The fourth in a track-by-track video series has been released. Watch four segments below:

Following the chart-breaking and critically acclaimed antecedent, New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.1 (2020), the new offering showcases an abundance of heavy music icons, but this time, it's taken to a whole new level. Experience the likes of Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Mary Goore, Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God), Myrkur, Devin Townsend, David Vincent, Doug Blair (W.A.S.P), Hank von Hell (Turbonegro) and Olve 'Abbath' Eikemo (Immortal, Abbath) intertwining with the album’s collection of occult anthems. This symbiosis of unfiltered blues, gothic-laced folk, essence of dark outlaw country and a touch of evil you’ll swear was either beamed straight out of hell or the most blackened of churches.
