Blending funky 70s grooves with a gritty alt-rock edge, Velvet Noose is as infectious as it is unsettling—spotlighting the enduring influence of Stanley Milgram’s infamous obedience experiment.“The idea that ordinary people can be convinced to do unthinkable things just because an authority figure tells them to—it’s horrifying,” says frontman Xian Murder. “With everything going on in the world, revisiting Milgram’s work felt more relevant than ever. And this time, we wrapped it in a sound that you can move to.”Pulling inspiration from Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, the track contrasts its heavy lyrical message with a swaggering rhythm section, vibrant synths, and a blistering guitar solo that leaves a mark. It’s the first single from the band’s upcoming album, The Sounds of Seven Angels, out June 23, 2025.“It’s a track you can bang your head to while dancing your heart out,” says bassist Binx Noir. “It’s a marriage of my love for funk and rock,” adds drummer Scott Genovese. “That solo was so fun to rip,” notes guitarist Jake Haimowitz.
