Deadly Apples Unleash New Single “Volatile” Featuring Richard Patrick (Filter) and Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails)
Deadly Apples, the Montreal-based rock/metal powerhouse, have released their highly anticipated new single, “Volatile,” now available on all major streaming platforms. Renowned for their electrifying performances, the band delivers a monumental track that features guest appearances by Richard Patrick of Filter and Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails.
“Volatile” marks the first single from the band’s upcoming album, DISTRESS, slated for release this summer. Produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Depeche Mode), and with pre-production helmed by Michael Beinhorn (Korn, Soundgarden), “Volatile” is a testament to the band’s dedication to working with some of the most respected names in rock and metal.
“My brothers from the north have concocted a wild, stirring, and decadent collection of songs. ‘Volatile’ is but a glimpse into their madness,” said Ben Grosse.
Richard Patrick shared his enthusiasm about working on the track: “When I heard that Alex and Antoine were working on a new Deadly Apples album and my pals Danny Lohner and Ben Grosse were involved, I was stoked when they asked me to sing on ‘Volatile.’ The track reminds me of old-school industrial metal, much like Skinny Puppy, Filter, and Nine Inch Nails.”
Deadly Apples have built a loyal following thanks to their unique sound and relentless touring schedule, which has seen them share the stage with rock and metal heavyweights around the globe such as Korn, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, and Rammstein.
About Deadly Apples:
Montreal rock / metal band Deadly Apples – frontman / lyricist Alex Martel and drummer / composer Antoine Lamothe – has forged a reputation for its fierce, unpredictable, and high energy live performances often culminating with Martel diving – and drowning – into the crowd. As rock music – and society – has become increasingly safe and bland, the French-Canadian band has received praise for bringing back the danger and unpredictability to unsuspecting audiences.
Accompanied on stage by a touring guitarist and keyboardist / dancer, the Great White North act has showcased its intensity in arenas and stadiums around the globe – United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, Japan – on high-profile tours with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Deftones and Rammstein, as well as Main Stage slots on festivals such as Hellfest Open Air, Knotfest, Vans Warped Tour, Hell & Heaven Fest and Resurrection Fest.
On their new full-length album DISTRESS, Deadly Apples push the limits of their catchy sound to every extreme: darker, deeper, and heavier, yet their most accessible work yet. Interlaced with cinematic atmospheres, poignant melodies, singular screams, gritty analog synths, pummeling drum beats, abrasive guitars, delicate pianos and heartfelt lyrics, DISTRESS is a unique, relevant and modern take on a classic genre that they made their own.
Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails), with NIN alumni Danny Lohner performing the guitars / bass and Richard Patrick of Filter providing guest vocals. Early pre-production work was also completed with Michael Beinhorn (Korn).
