Exposed Vocals Features Weapons Of Anew’s “Killshot”

Weapons Of Anew busted down the door of the music industry with the release of their debut single ‘Killshot’. The track showcases the uniqueness of the dynamic new band, which features members of HavocHate and Spread Eagle. Weapons of Anew has found its niche in the metal community with this release and boasts big plans for the future. Check out this recent feature from Exposed Vocals:

The track is one of the first songs written by the new band, and when it all came together, Weapons of Anew were certain they had found their niche amongst their eclectic influences and the music of the collective previous bands.

 

“As we started writing for this new band idea (with Chris Manfre and Stefan ‘Reno’ Cutrupi), I didn’t want to write another HavocHate record,” guitarist Freddy Ordine said. “Granted, I’m very proud of both those records, but I felt I had more to say and it didn’t have to be all about heavy. It could have awesome melodies and groove and still smack you in the face, but in a different way. I had started listening to this melody I kept hearing in my head and wrote the remainder of the song.”

Enter Spread Eagle vocalist Ray West. “The chorus wasn’t written as you hear it now until Ray came in,” Ordine said. “I heard Ray sing the verses in this sleek kind of modal way the first time we ever played together and – ZAP!!! – I was instantly connected! The chorus pretty much jumped out of my head and onto my fret board. I knew this is what my new band was supposed to sound like!”

Added Reno: “We had a fully working old version of the song with a completely different chorus and bridge section. Upon jamming it with Ray on our first couple of meetings, we ended up removing parts and re-writing entire sections of the song and changing parts to fit Ray’s awesome vocal style. We were pretty set on the original version of the song until Ray came in and we moved things around…for the better I might add!”
