DZ DEATHRAYS RELEASE ‘FEAR THE ANCHOR (FEAT. ECCA VANDAL)’

“We asked our good friend Ecca Vandal to join us on this track. It was such a pleasure and honour to have Ecca on ‘Fear The Anchor’, she absolutely shreds it! We actually changed the key in pre-production so both our voices fit the track and I think it was for the better. When it came time to working in the studio it was really fun to bounce ideas around between everyone and have Ecca add extra melodies throughout the song. I hope we all get to share a stage again and thrash this one out!” - Shane Parsons, DZ Deathrays
