Aug 11 Enter Shikari Releases New Single, "The Void Stares Back", Featuring Wargasm

Enter Shikari has unveiled a brand new single titled “The Void Stares Back”, which features the UK rock duo Wargasm. This is Enter Shikari’s first piece of new music in three years.

In a press release announcing the new track, vocalist and keyboardist Rou Reynolds stated the following:

"It is with elation, and more than a little nervousness, that we release this; our first track after over two years of dormancy. It is a roisterous journey made all the more so with the addition of our friends Wargasm. Thematically, the piece is about the forward march of social progress, and how, often, those with a more conventional archaic outlook on sexuality, gender, social design, economics etc, see those with differing ideas like bewildering, depraved creatures from another dimension.”

The members of Wargasm also commented:

“Shikari were a big part of our growing up, so it was an absolute honour to be asked to collaborate with such an incredible and well-spoken band. They stand for the right things - we're a little more pessimistic. It was fun playing the darker devil's advocate to Rou's light...where we're going, you won't need eyes to see...”
