Rocker Laszlo has dropped a new single “Kill Myself” – featuring special guest guitarist and Thrash Metal legend Alex Skolnick of Testament. The track comes from his latest EP, The Door, released in late 2021. It was produced by Michael Buyens (Life of Agony, The Gathering) and Mixed by Kane Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Ozzy Osbourne). They also shared a new video for the song, which you can watch right now.
In true Jones fashion, the song packs a variable punch – taking no prisoners in the process. Skolnick’s thunderous industrious metal axemanship shines throughout the track, as they deliver on their mission to tackle one of society’s most problematic issues – suicide. “It’s a song about the general lack of well being, depression endured by many people, leading to self hate and self destruction, leading to a dangerous games with death,” Jones explains.
According to Jones, the lyric reflects that young people in particular are currently at risk. “They haven’t been able to have normal social contacts for 2 years now,” he says, adding that it’s been hard for them to maintain what’s essential for adolescents. “Above all, it’s important that people in suicidal crisis, and their relatives, are available to reach a nationwide emergency number at any time,” Jones insists, reminding that professional and psychological support is provided. “Be attentive,” Jones says, “being there for each other and offering help is just as important in stalling a potential suicide.”
“Kill Myself” is included on Jones’ latest EP Beyond The Door (November, 2021). The five-song strong album delves deep into Jones’ creativity, and versatility as a songwriter and composer. A multi-instrumentalist and visionary, the album takes the listener on a soundscape journey through Jones’ inexplicable mind, chasing him through his innate ability to captivate and intrigue. His music videos are equally as impressive, adding an additional layer of thought to the music, directing where Jones wants the song to lead the listener.
