Tronos (Napalm Death, Etc.) Premiere New Song “Premonition” Feat. Denis “Snake” Belanger (Voivod) & Billy Gould (Faith No More)

Posted by caemanamelio on

Tronos (Napalm Death, etc.) have premiered a new song titled “Premonition.” The track, which features Denis “Snake” Belanger (Voivod) and Billy Gould (Faith No More), will appear on the band’s new album “Celestial Mechanics“ (out April 12).

Shane Embury (Napalm Death) commented:

“I wrote the words to ‘Premonition‘ on tour one year on a day-off in Portugal. I think it might have been on one of my birthdays away from home. I mean, when I am ever at home? The words are reflections about the life I have led – how any of our lives, I suppose, start small. How at times it feels dark and scary, but at times there’s the happiness of achievement.

Life feels continuously insecure sometimes but I know that when I feel my strongest, when I gaze at the life I have in part helped to create for my children, I have no regrets. As life speeds faster onwards, I am prepared to leave one day knowing I have achieved more than was ever expected of me. To add, also having the chance to have Snake from Voivod singing on this track with me and Billy playing bass was an honor.

I couldn’t have thought of any other people more perfect for this track. It captures the emotion of a journey onwards and towards a higher plane of existence and has a special meaning for me!”
