Igorrr’s Wild New Single “Headbutt” Streaming Now

Earlier today, French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre released a new single for his alter-ego Igorrr‘s upcoming album Amen. Known for defying conventions and making some wild music over the years, this new track titled “Headbutt” is no different.

Before you hit play on the video below, I just have to tell you that I don’t think you’re going to expect Anthrax’s Scott Ian, Mr. Bungle’s Trey Spruance, and Soulfly’s Mike Leon. This one doesn’t feature any big names, but it apparently does use a backhoe to hit a pianos keyboard super hard — well, after Serre headbutts the keys himself.

Speaking of the track, Serre asked a simple question: “Is the biggest fortissimo ever made on a piano bigger than heavy and massive metal riffs?”

“The match between classical music and metal was very close, but the piano won with that final excavator uppercut. Starting with an ostinato that gives the pulse of the track and shows that the piano can also be a rhythmic instrument, we witness smart blows between both parties, going crescendo until the actual headbutt on the piano, which wasn’t even the strongest or last move from classical music.”

Amen will be released on September 19 via Metal Blade Records, but you can preorder your copy today. If you’d like to catch Igorrr’s madness live, you can do so at any of the gigs listed below.
