FRAGILE MORTALS, the new band that combines hip-hop legend
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels (Run DMC) with metal group
Generation Kill featuring vocalist Rob Dukes (ex-Exodus) and
bassist Rob Moschetti (ex-Pro-Pain, M.O.D.) has released
their debut single “FIRED UP” on July 4th, via
artist/producer Ron
“Bumblefoot” Thal (Art of Anarchy, ex- Guns N’ Roses), who also
produced and added additional guitar solos to the tracks.
“FIRED UP is a foot-stomping, fist-in-your-face anthem, sort
of like a MACK truck - crashing into a packed football stadium. Says
DMC, “Fired Up is a sports inspired attitude about giving all you
got in this "game of life." And like my verse says, you must do it
without cheating!”
The song come from the band's upcoming full-length release THE
DARK PROJECT, set to be released later in 2016. Stemming from a
chance meeting between Dukes and DMC, an initial one track
collaboration for a DMC solo album turned into a full-on force, as
FRAGILE MORTALS was born. The band then recruited the ear of Ron
“Bumblefoot” Thal as producer, and their combined creative vision
has allowed the band to grow further than expected. Lending the
occasional guitar riff and solo to the tracks, Ron's contributions
earned him the title of unofficial seventh member.
Addressing issues ranging from suicide, drug abuse, prostitution,
life and death, and racism, THE DARK PROJECT also offers a glimmer
of hope and light at the end of a gritty tunnel, exposing the darker
side of humanity without glorifying it in any way.
FRAGILE MORTALS offers the listener an intellectual look into real
world issues, as the music takes you on a journey, serving as the
soundtrack to this all too real story.
