NEWS: Chaka research their DNA?

…with a debut full length album titled “Amplifying the Past” pencilled in for some point this year, New York City Metal heads Chaka have premiered new single “It’s Not Human” for your listening pleasure. That comes alongside the cover art for the record as the band put a scientific twist on the combination of Thrash and Traditional Heavy Metal that serves as the spine of their sound.

Bassist and vocalist Mark Sokoll comments: “It’s about evolution, science, and ancient ancestry. We’ve always drawn inspiration from human origins, military history, and authors like Arthur C. Clarke and Carl Sagan. This record expands on our earlier sound but lets the songs breathe more. We want listeners to feel like they’ve been on a cathartic, headbanging ride. We’re a loud trio—maybe even louder than four or five-piece bands. We’re all in our 50s, but we don’t hold back.”
