‘Pale Tongue’ takes you on a disturbing trip, with psychedelic visuals and heavy rhythms deeply influenced by early millennial industrial music and Neue Deutsche Härte. The single was recorded and produced by Jan Kerscher (Ghost City Recordings) and mixed/mastered by Lance Prenc (Alpha Wolf, Polaris, Dealer).
Guitarist Andreas Reinhard comments:
“We are always trying to get different influences into our music, that’s why we were looking for a
producer outside our genre, to get some new input. When we first met up with Jan, we know he was a
perfect match to record and produce our new material.”
The Oklahoma Kid teamed up with Pavel Trebukhin (Imminence, Landmvrks, Annisokay) for the music video, which was filmed inside a bunker to create a striking visual experience
Formed in 2012, The Oklahoma Kid have consistently pushed boundaries with their breathtaking modern metal, bridging the gap between technical intricacy and energising rhythms. The band’s 2014 debut EP Fortuneteller established their position within the German metal scene with their signature blend of genres.
In 2015 they revealed their sophomore EP Doppelganger, working with renowned producer Aljoscha Sieg (Eskimo Callboy, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Nasty) to deliver their signature bouncing grooves and futuristic synthesisers, complete with catchy hooks and singalongs. The band’s unique video for ‘Scharlatan’, which was directed by Pavel Trebukhin (Alazka, Stick To Your Guns, Annisokay), also won the national PopFish Music Video Award.
2017 saw The Oklahoma Kid enter the studio to work on their debut album Solarray, a release that displayed the band’s full sonic scope and capabilities – ranging from huge wall-of-sound arrangements to fragile melodies.
The Oklahoma Kid have electrified crowds with their passionate, relentless performance, touring with Stick To Your Guns, Carnifex, Evergreen Terrace and Hatebreed.
The quintet are no long an insider tip, they are a force to be reckoned with. Whether you experience them live at a festival or on record in your living room, The Oklahoma Kid will change your perception of what metal is capable of.
