Zheani is on a tear. The provocative, genre-defying Australian artist is in the final stages of her first-ever U.S. tour, most of the dates for which sold out well in advance, and she recently announced plans to return to North American this fall. Now, she's dropped a scorching new single "SPOILS OF WAR," which boasts a feature from New Jersey rapper Buttress and an instrumental by Portland producer and industrial-metal musician King Yosef.
Just as unnerving as the track itself is its accompanying music video, created by longtime collaborator Mik Shida. Watch and listen above.
Zheani tells Revolver of "SPOILS OF WAR": "Joan of Arc was touched by the divine and as a woman disbelieved, unwavering, she refused to bow to power and politics. Following her mission guided by god's will, she was burnt at the stake, a heretic, only to later be recognized as a saint. 'SPOILS OF WAR' is a song about the tragedy of the female hero's journey."
Zheani's current U.S. tour continues March 16th in Dallas, Texas. Check out the North American dates of her "Maenad World Tour" below.
