Best known as one of the guitarists in Alice Cooper’s band, Nita Strauss will release her second solo album,
The Call Of The Void, on July 7 via Sumerian Records. “It was a long process, definitely a labor of love. I’m so happy to finally have it out to the world,” proclaims Nita.
In addition to rocking stages around the globe with Alice Cooper since 2014, Nita Strauss has played with all-female Iron Maiden tribute band The Iron Maidens, and Demi Lovato. Furthermore, Nita is the first ever female signature artist with Ibanez guitars, and she’s performed at numerous home games for football teams The LA KISS and Los Angeles Rams, as well as at WWE pay-per-view events.
While The Call Of The Void is comprised of 14 brand new, jaw-dropping tracks, it also pays homage to Nita’s past. Specifically with the instrumental song “Consume The Fire”, as that was the name of one of her previous bands. “Yes! Actually, some of the riffs from that song were written when I was in that band, and it was a song that band never used. So, that was where some of the song came from and the title,” says Nita. Although it hasn’t been updated since 2014, the Facebook page for Consume The Fire is still online, along with a few videos on YouTube. “Everybody in the band got pulled in different directions; there was never a full-length effort or a tour. But there was an EP that we put out for free download. So, maybe it’ll turn into more people hearing those songs. I hope so, cause they are cool songs.”
