Alice Cooper guitarist Nita Strauss has become a force in music. After reaching mass acclaim with her solo debut, Controlled Chaos, she returns with her second full-length on Sumerian Records entitled The Call Of The Void. Featuring the popular singles "Dead Inside," and "The Wolf You Feed," the album is a combination of the melodic sounds and hard-hitting riffs that Strauss has become known for. Strauss explained the album's title: "Have you ever been at the top of a high building and had the fleeting thought, ‘I could jump right now?' This feeling is sometimes called ‘The Call of the Void,' also known as ‘high place phenomenon.' It's not a suicidal impulse, rather the exact opposite – a subconscious decision to live your life, to step back from the ledge, and take control. As researcher April Smith aptly put it: ‘An urge to jump affirms the urge to live.' I wanted the follow up to [my debut album] Controlled Chaos to be exciting, new, and fresh, to take listeners to a new place and take myself somewhere new as an artist too. We have some amazing collaborations on this album with incredible musicians, as well as the instrumental guitar music that first inspired me to play."
