Guitarist Nita Strauss has released the single “Dead Inside” featuring David Draiman of Disturbed. The song is her first new music since her debut solo album, “Controlled Chaos,” in 2018 and her first-ever solo collaboration with a vocalist. Stream “Dead Inside” here and watch the official music video below.
“This is my first time releasing my own music with a vocalist, and I am so honored to take this step alongside a legend like David Draiman,” said Strauss, who currently is on tour playing guitar for Alice Cooper. “David’s voice and powerful lyrics took this song to a level I could never have imagined! And we are so excited to unleash this song on the world.”
Draiman said: “Serendipity can be really cool. We’ve been friends for years. Nita sent me the track … I didn’t have time to work on it right away … then in literally a couple of days, while killing time in Santa Monica, the whole thing just came together. Incredibly proud of how it turned out and honored to be a part of it.”
Strauss, who is working on her second solo album, also recently announced that she will hit the road at the end of the year for her “Winter Wasteland 2021” headline tour. The trek will kick off Nov. 10 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and hit a further 28 cities across North America, culminating Dec. 18 in Angola, Indiana.
