Today, Canadian industrial rock duo Linx reveal “Dead,” the first single from the upcoming debut album Annihilation, set for international release on August 15th via Metalville Records.
“Dead” is a rock-alternative song with a heavy edge and fun energy. It’s about reviving emotions after coping with numbness and embracing the good things that make us grateful. The track blends heavy riffs with punk rock elements. Part of the upcoming album’s concept and inspired by personal experiences, the music video premiere will mark the long awaited debut, perfectly introducing the band. This track embodies power, unity, and gratitude, welcoming listeners across various shades of rock.
Hailing from Montreal, Linx is a female-fronted industrial rock duo formed by versatile singer / guitarist / bassist / keyboardist Zenab Jaber (nicknamed “Zee”) and by drummer/keyboardist/programmer Frederic Gauthier. Their music is a groovy, heavy, moody, poetic, electric, and powerful blend of pure originality and influences in such genres as metal, prog, rock, industrial, cultural, and soundtracks.
Linx‘s raw charisma and hypnotic stage presence, combined with the sheer power of their sound, are already building a devoted fanbase and a formidable reputation. Their long-awaited 13-track debut album, Annihilation, is more than living up to the hype surrounding this extraordinary band. Their music is bold, expansive, and electrifying, with lyrics that are smart, introspective, and, at times, pure poetry.
