ONI – « Loathing Light » Album In June; Video Posted For New Track « Secrets » Feat. IGGY POP And RANDY BLYTHE !
metalcore project, Oni, have revealed another colossal new track, « Secrets », featuring guest vocals from punk icon Iggy Pop and Lamb Of God frontman, Randy Blythe. The single, along with previously released songs, « The Lie » and « War Ender » featuring NYC trap metal squad, City Morgue, are taken from the band’s forthcoming second album, Loathing Light, which is set to land on June 17 via Ironshore Records. Pre-order/pre-save your copy here, and watch the new video below.
Jake had initially invited Randy Blythe to bring his vocal skills to « Secrets » and as the song came together, the idea of a second guest voice to add another dimension to the track was discussed. “Iggy’s vocals are so iconic and instantly recognizable, his style is what we were after. But we figured, let’s see if we can get the man himself to check it out?”
They did, and the Stooges legendary leader and ‘Godfather of Punk’ loved the track. Jake continues, “He came down, we had some food and just chilled. And then he did his thing all over the song. He asked me for ideas about how to approach it, which was just crazy and cool. It all worked so well and came out sick.”
Fellow guest, Lamb Of God’s vocalist Randy Blythe tells us, « It was awesome to work with Jake again, and of course the usual suspects, my compatriots Mark Morton and Josh Wilbur – always a good time. But to be on a track and film a video with one of my biggest influences as frontman, the OG godfather of punk and living legend Iggy Pop? Completely priceless.”
