After announcing the release of a lost album entitled Mutator by legendary artist Alan Vega, not to mention dropping a video for his song ‘Nike Soldier’, the folks at Sacred Bones have now unveiled another track dubbed ‘Fist’.

In the vein of Vega’s work with his group Suicide, ‘Fist’ is an almost riotous soundscape bridging their innovative style of punk and electronica to the forefront. Alan Vega’s haunting vocals are accompanied by screaming, sequenced sound bits and effects that create a sense or urgency. Definitely in your face the way only he could do it, we’re excited for the forthcoming album.

Touching on the track, producer Jared Artaud stated:

“Alan Vega was an architect of sound. ‘Fist’ reveals the album’s archetypal sonic framework of balancing intensity with calm. Music you can meditate to or blast during a protest march. Vega was a champion of the underdog. His lyrics inspire strength for the individual to rise up and destroy those destroying us. Fist sets ‘Mutator’ into motion with Vega’s ‘no notes’ mantra and blistering poetic truths that balance a dark vision with hope.”
