Composer Bear McCreary (“God Of War”, etc.) has premiered a new song titled “Cool Kids.” You can check that out below. The track, which features Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Brendan McCreary, will appear on McCreary’s new album, “The Singularity: Ekleipsis,” which will be released on July 31. He said the following about the single:

“‘Cool Kids’ was born when [bassist] Duff McKagan sent me a voice memo of a riff he was messing around with. My ears perked up instantly — his riff was undeniable! So Duff and I went into the studio the next week along with my brother, vocalist Brendan McCreary, and [drummer] Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers and wrote the song together. We went in with Duff’s initial riff and our enthusiasm, and walked out with ‘Cool Kids.’ When Slash got back into town, he added his signature screaming guitar parts, and there it was. ‘Cool Kids’ is a song about all of us being proudly who we are, but I wouldn’t blame anybody for assuming the title was inspired by the fact that Brendan and I got to create this song with the coolest kids in rock and roll.”
