Industrial Metal Rebels DK-ZERO Return To Lead A Futuristic Revolution With Their Ferocious New Single & Video!

It’s been more than two years since the steampunk-inspired, hip hop-influenced, industrial metal superstars DK-Zero have released original music, 2020’s lusty dystopian Cyber Sex Inc., that earned well-deserved attention and praise from Alt Press, New Noise, Vive Le Rock and lots of others. In that time, the band has gone through a world of changes, but today DK-Zero release a new single “Resistance” that proves they’re emerging from the chrysalis with even greater purpose and strength. 

“Resistance” takes all the elements of DK-Zero’s complex web of digitized mayhem and sharpens it into a lush and engaging song that inspires both sincere hope (“I count resistance on my side. We got every fucking person trying to make it out alive!”) as well as massive ass shaking! The song also marks one of the band’s few collaborative efforts, teaming up with another cyber warrior Nuda.

Band leader D-Punk explains the genesis of the track, “In 2020 I was hired by Nuda to mix and master her second record. We had such a good report and worked together so flawlessly, that when she began writing for her third album, she reached out to me straight away. She asked me to do a remix of one of her early songs called ‘Resistance.’ As I began putting the beat together, I started hearing different chord changes and something that could turn into a huge chorus… so I went for it. As it all came together, I immediately saw the potential in this song and wanted to give it as much life as possible. Lyrically, it means a lot to me because it’s a huge statement about what is happening politically, on both sides of the aisle in this country as well as what is going on overseas between Russia and Ukraine. I knew getting Industrialism Films on board would help bring the whole concept together and knock it out of the park. Nuda has also been the live keyboardist for DK-Zero since 2020.”

Be sure to check out the visually stunning video created for the song by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films.
