Metal Anarchy

Venera, the project featuring Korn’s James “Munky” Shaffer and composer/filmmaker Chris Hunt, are featured on Jesse Draxler’s new song “Asbestos.” You can find a video for that track below. The single is from Draxler’s new album, “Tongue Of Angels,” which will receive a digital release on August 24.

Shaffer commented:

“There are only a handful of artists that have the energy and passion for music and art that [Jesse Draxler] does. You can feel how much he loves and enjoys the process of creating whatever he works on. He’s extremely talented. His openness to collaborations allows for others to explore and expand their own creativity.”

Hunt added:

“I agree. Jesse is a generous artist with a keen sensibility towards texture, decay and materiality which resonates with what we’re interested in with our own work. It was an intriguing task looking at the inside of his brain, hearing bits of the world through his ears and attempting to contextualize those sounds. Sometimes field recording is flattened into a pursuit of purity and accuracy of an environment so it’s worthwhile to get to interact with sound like any other compelling textural piece of trash on the street or rotting wall or weird anomaly to be investigated and constructed with.”
