**FEBRUARY 18, 2022 (New York NY) — **Following their cover of the Joy Division 
classic “Day of the Lords” which Consequence.com called a “creepy rendition of an
already haunting song,” **SAUDADE **has unleashed its latest track “**Chill of Death**”
which **Loudwire** calls “**moody and haunting**.”  With vocals helmed by U.K.’s
rising new artist **A.A. Williams **and the late **Lee “Scratch” Perry**, the dark
and deeply atmospheric track is the latest from the band led by **Chuck Doom** (
_Crosses, Team Sleep, Palms_) and drummer **Gil Sharone** (_Team Sleep, Marilyn 
Manson, Dillinger Escape Plan_), and featuring a rotating list of vocalists and 
musicians.

[[[[[[“I was delighted when Chuck approached me to work with the Saudade collective
on ‘Chill Of Death’,” says Williams of the collaboration. “The group’s wide-ranging
musical style really excited me and I was honored that they’d asked me to collaborate.
Later finding out that the late Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry would also be contributing made
the process even more special.”

Adds Doom, “I was stoked A.A. replied that the song felt right and agreed to collaborate.
Her beautifully organic lyrical and melodic interpretation paired with the legend
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, **Dr. Know**, **John Medeski**, **David Torn **and Gil make
this song truly special to us. Saudade is excited to share the results of this collaboration.”

“Like all of the other tracks we do, this song came together in a very organic way,”
says Sharone. “The grooves, dynamics and textures of sounds created a perfect bed
for the amazing vocal performance that  A. A. Williams put down.”

Feverishly working on new material to unveil throughout 2022 and beyond, Saudade
has made quite a mark on the music world. Originally envisioned as an instrumental
outfit, Saudade has since incorporated vocals and has explored genres as far ranging
as dub, reggae, metal and trance all cut from the same cohesive fabric. After being
featured on the aforementioned Joy Division cover, **Randy Blythe **(_Lamb of God_)
joined the band as a contributing member and will be featured more frequently on
upcoming material.

An independent musical and artistic entity, which is not to be confused as supergroup
or side project, Saudade is a band whose rotating membership is held together by
the nucleus of Doom and Sharone. Among the frequent members are **David Torn** (
_David Bowie, Madonna_), **Dr. Know** (_Bad Brains_), **Mackie Jayson** (_Cro-Mags,
Madball_), **John Medeski** (_Medeski Martin and Wood_), and **Robert Thomas Jr.**(
_Weather Report_) and **Alain Johannes **(_Queens of the Stone Age, Eleven, PJ Harvey_).
The late **Lee “Scratch” Perry** has also contributed to Saudade and whose presence
will be sorely missed. **RIZZ** (_VOWWS_) also contributes to Saudade imaging and
video direction.

“Chill of Death” is released today and was produced by **Chuck Doom.  **It was recorded
at Station House Studio (Echo Park, CA) and Applehead Studios (Woodstock, NY). A.
A. Williams’ vocals were recorded in London, UK and Lee “Scratch” Perry’s vocals
in Negril, Jamaica. The track is now available on **THolyGhost Recordings **at [https://hypeddit.com/saudade/chillofdeath](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=ddce53b6fa&e=615f2b8493)
