We are living in a time of profound societal upheaval. For Godzilla In The Kitchen, this is a reason to speak up and channel their anger into music. With “Nothing For None,” the band releases their first new song since the album
“Exodus” (2022).
What once started as an instrumental Rock band has evolved into a powerful Alternative Metal formation — now driven by socially critical lyrics. Simon Ulm, the band’s bassist, takes over lead vocals and adds a new compositional depth to the music. Despite this evolution, the musical roots of Godzilla In The Kitchen remain clearly audible: elements of Stoner, Progressive, and Psychedelic flow naturally into a distinctive, deliberately analog sound.
“Nothing For None” is accompanied by a music video that visually captures the song’s central theme: the seduction of the masses. Driven by aggressive vocals, guitar hooks, monster riffs, and pounding drums. Be warned: this track hits hard and builds toward a climax guaranteed to send chills down your spine.

In the following PRJ‑exclusive Q&A, the band address three key questions surrounding “Nothing For None” and their current direction.
“Nothing For None” is your first new release since “Exodus” and further defines your shift from an instrumental band to one driven by socially critical lyrics. How much of this evolution comes from a personal sense of urgency, and how much is a direct reaction to the current social climate you describe as the ‘seduction of the masses’?”
First of all, it has always been important to us not to write the same album or the same song twice. When Thiago joined us on drums in 2024, he brought a completely different style to the band — and we reacted to that musically. From the very first jams in the rehearsal room, it was obvious: there was a new level of energy, a powerful and technically sophisticated approach, but at the same time very direct and straightforward. That new dynamic naturally led to the idea of adding vocals, to give this evolving sound a clearer focus and more intensity. And as you mentioned, the themes almost impose themselves at this point. On earlier releases like Exodus, we already touched on social issues in a more subtle way, through artwork and visual concepts. Now, it’s much more direct and outspoken. The idea of “mass seduction” is something we’ve been observing for a long time. It appears in political systems — especially in autocracies — but also in everyday life: advertising, social media, traditional media, beauty standards, or even small local structures. Everything seems to revolve around influencing people and aligning them with a certain narrative. What has changed is the intensity and speed. Algorithms and filter bubbles increasingly push important topics into the background or distort how we perceive them. A recent example: in Germany, a stranded whale generated significantly more public engagement than the Artemis II mission — a historic spaceflight achievement that brought humans farther from Earth than ever before. Of course, both topics matter in their own way. But this shift in attention shows how easily we are drawn toward emotionally charged side stories while larger, more complex challenges fade out of focus. That’s where the sense of urgency comes from — not as a reaction to a single event, but as a response to a long-term development that seems to be accelerating.
The track has a very physical, raw, and deliberately analog sound—rooted in Stoner, Progressive, and Psychedelic elements—while delivering a sharply contemporary message. Was this contrast a conscious choice, using a more ‘uncomfortable’ sonic language to make the message feel more real and confrontational?
Analog sound has always been a core part of our identity as a band. It connects all of our previous releases and is very much a conscious decision. We still haul around 400 kg of equipment to shows, simply because that physical experience — feeling the amps breathe behind you — can’t really be replaced. Digital recording tools have become incredibly advanced, no question. But precisely because of that, we feel the need to set ourselves apart from what has become a very compressed, polished mainstream sound. We want something raw, tangible, and real. In that sense, the contrast happens quite naturally: A very physical, organic sound meets a message that is equally direct, but thematically complex. We’re not trying to be “uncomfortable” for its own sake — but we’re also not aiming to be easy to consume. And maybe that’s exactly what makes the message hit harder. And yes, it might come with the occasional back problem — but until we eventually switch to a fully digital setup, we want to push this organic approach as far as we can.
The video for “Nothing For None” visually addresses mass manipulation and mirrors the song’s steady build toward an aggressive climax. How did the visual concept interact with the songwriting process? Do you see the video as a translation of the song’s message, or as an extension that adds a new layer of meaning?
The video for Nothing For None actually started production around our Wacken performance in 2025. From early on, it was clear to us that we wanted a strong and precise visual language to support the message of the song. The imagery follows the structure of the track: a steady build-up, increasing density, and eventually an aggressive, almost overwhelming climax. We don’t see the video as just a translation of the song’s message. It’s more of an extension. The theme of mass manipulation, in particular, often becomes even more immediate when translated into visual form — because patterns, repetition, and dynamics can be experienced directly. So the video adds another layer: It doesn’t simply explain the song, but expands it and makes it emotionally and conceptually more tangible.
