They’ve just wrapped up their biggest Australian tour to date, but RedHook show absolutely no signs of slowing down any time soon. With new record Mutation on the way this November, the releases are throttling at full velocity and today we’ve got a brand new track titled ‘Dr. Frankenstein‘ to eat up.
Featuring a shockwave of distorted synth and a soaring hook in the chorus, ‘Dr. Frankenstein‘ marks the band’s most astronomical track yet. Vocalist Emmy Mack’s glistening aura shines brightest when meshed with Holding Absence’s Lucas Woodland. As the pair face raw truths and vulnerability in a story of heartbreak, the band’s signature blend of hyper-pop/metalcore takes lead here in producing a five-star collaboration.
“Ultimately, this song is about me owning my shit and taking accountability for my role in a past relationship that became toxic as all hell. During the breakup, I was guilty of privately indulging that kind of ‘victim’ mentality, but now that I’m a bit older and wiser, I feel like it’s important to take responsibility for the mistakes that I made too.“
“Holding Absence are one of our favourite bands in the world right now, and Lucas’s vocal talents are unparalleled. I wrote this song with a male feature in mind, and Lucas was #1 on the list! We cheered so hard when he said he loved the song and was keen to jump on board!” Lucas adds, “I’m super hyped to be featured on this song! I knew from the moment I heard it that I had to get involved. ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ is a total rager with hooks galore, and Redhook are a great band. I can’t wait for people to hear it!”
– Emmy Mack, RedHook
