War Cloud are gearing up for their return to the road later this month. To celebrate their upcoming trek, the group has teamed up with Metal Insider to premiere their standalone single “No Good To Me,” via Ripple Music. The track is filled with 80’s metal riffs mixed with an overall fresh take.

 

The band comments: 

“The new single is an homage to 80’s sleaze metal. We were jamming a ton of Y&T and Kiss’s Animalize-era to get into the headspace. The hooks those bands possess are massive and this is our nod to them. The line “everyone has got to have their vice” is personal. I feel like everyone has one and it’s really weird to hear someone say they don’t. There’s a little devil in us all. The guitar melodies are an integral part of the bands sound. No dueling guitars = no War Cloud. We had a blast tracking with Jeff from Duel and Greg did a killer job mixing at getting those classic Marshall tones just right.”
