Druid Unleash Ferocious New Single ‘Chokehold’

Melbourne metalcore giants Druid have returned with their blistering new track Chokehold, paired with an intense and visually captivating music video. Known for their unique fusion of nu-metal, industrial hardcore, and trap influences, Druid’s latest release continues to push boundaries in the metal scene.

The six-piece band, which first made waves in 2019, has quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, performing at major events like Slipknot’s Knotfest and the digital festival Pulse Of The Maggots. Chokehold solidifies their reputation, delivering a chaotic and exhilarating sonic experience that draws listeners into its dark and twisted energy.

With heavy guitars, gut-punching screams, and moments of rhythmic rap, Chokehold keeps up a relentless intensity. The accompanying music video, directed by Martin Wood, matches the song’s raw power with scenes of pole dancers in a shadowy, liminal space, interspersed with shots of the band performing under an almost suffocating spotlight.

Druid’s latest offering is a powerful blend of contrasting elements that showcases the band’s evolution while staying true to their core sound. Chokehold is poised to make a significant impact in the metal community, leaving listeners craving more.
