NEWS: Anubis escape their cage!

A music video filmed by Alex Nasla (Edge of Paradise, Witherfall) for “My Favorite Cage” from Southern Californian Heavy Metal outfit Anubis has been shared in celebration of the arrival of the bands second album “Anthromorphicide” via M-Theory Audio. The track features a guest vocal appearance from Zhariah as the band explore themes of internal entrapment and psychological transformation which that resonate throughout the album’s title – literally translating to “the death of the human form.”

Vocalist Devin Reiche: “I first saw Zhariah in footage of her performing at an event called AFROPUNK. Her energy was so wild and explosive that my immediate thought was,”oh my god, I HAVE to work with her. When Will showed me his demos for the song that became ‘My Favorite Cage,’ I knew that track would be perfect for her.”

Zhariah: “I’ve been craving a metal moment, and ‘Favorite Cage’ was me finally giving into that chaos. I know it’s going to shock people—but in the way that makes them pay attention. Working with Anubis… Devin pushed me vocally in a way I’ve never experienced before. He helped me unlock something darker and more powerful in my voice… and honestly, I’m just getting started.”

Bassist Will Buckley: “I like to think it’s obvious this tune is an unambiguous tribute to Amaranthe. The backstory isn’t the most noble one… I was hooked on kratom for years and quit cold-turkey in 2020. Hearing ‘The Nexus’ gave me my first real joy during the brutal withdrawals and anhedonia, so I wrote the music to ‘My Favorite Cage’ as a heavy nod to them, just to sort of ‘plant a flag on the feeling.’ I’m just stoked my band mates were down to work on it!”
