They’re the first band signed to Jason Aalon Butler’s recently-announced 333 Wreckords Crew, and Guerilla Warfare are already doing some amazing things. Their first release as part of this new partnership – ‘NU.Wav’ – is nothing short of brilliant.
The track itself is made for fans of early Linkin Park, with metal crossed with hip-hop being the fuel that keeps this fire burning, so if you’re in need of a modern day ‘Hybrid Theory’ or ‘Meteora’, this is one for you.
Influenced by hip-hop, nu metal and hardcore, the band has this to say of the track and accompanying video:
“We took influence from current rap artists like Tee Grizzley and tried to tie in some old school Beastie Boys style to the flavor to the vocals. Instrumentally, we have always loved Nu Metal and Hardcore both, and we think those influences speak for themselves.
“The ‘NU.Wav’ video was shot at our EP release show at Headliners in Louisville, KY on May 25th and in the 5’x3’ half bathroom of my apartment in Old Louisville by Ana Massard & Alex Constante. We fit six people in that tiny room – three in front of the camera and three behind, including our friend Mat Schladen on the camera work. The video was then edited by Ana and eventually animated by Alex.”
It’s raw and real, which is exactly how these guys should be perceived by all.
