PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION \u2013 the outfit featuring Iron Maiden guitarist & songwriter Adrian Smith and one-time SikTh front-man Mikee Goodman \u2013 have released brand new single, \u2018No Friendly Neighbour\u2019, on Spinefarm Records\u2026<\/p>\n
Produced by Smith & Goodman and mixed by Simon Hanhart, \u2018No Friendly Neighbour\u2019 is taken from the debut Primal Rock Rebellion album, \u2018Awoken Broken\u2019, released on February 27th 2012, also through Spinefarm.<\/p>\n
Nominated in the \u2018Best New Band\u2019 category at this year\u2019s Metal Hammer \u2018Golden Gods Awards\u2019, Primal Rock Rebellion is clear proof that stepping outside of your comfort zone can reap spectacular rewards, with \u2018No Friendly Neighbour\u2019 the full-tilt result of two very different minds meeting somewhere in the middle!<\/p>\n
As with the video for previous single, \u2018No Place Like Home\u2019, the clip for \u2018No Friendly Neighbour\u2019 has been directed by Goodman; however, whereas the \u2018No Place\u2026\u2019 promo was a visually OTT affair, showing a world of monsters and trepidation, the new one focuses more on the musicians themselves, with drummer Dan \u2018Loord\u2019 Foord (ex-SikTh) also coming further to the fore\u2026<\/p>\n
Says Goodman: \u201cWe actually shot the new video on the same day as the \u2018No Place Like Home\u2019 one, and it was a very intense experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, I\u2019d been deep in a cave the entire day before \u2013 got in at 3am, up at 6am, then started directing, producing, performing and even making the crew breakfast! Really, it was too much to take on, but it pushed me right to the edge \u2013 that\u2019s why my performance is so full on. I hope the passion for the music really comes across\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n
