The all time, 4-time Grammy Award winning drummer, Antonio Sanchez, is back. Along with Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the trio collaborated for a special new song titled “I think we’re past that now.” The track starts off with a thrilling and spooky instrumental followed by the first verse, “I can hear the sound coming out of them, But I don’t seem to be able to comprehend.” The first verse starts off with a hushed voice from Trent Reznor, just before the amazing chorus sticks the landing, and the loud and proud metal vocals that Reznor is known for kicks in!

“Sweeping broad strokes, With my lathe of heaven.” The talented skills of Sanchez perfectly harmonize Reznor throughout the track. The song ends in a chilling instrumental as Reznor’s voice echoes into a void, “Cause I’ve decided there’s nothing else but you and me.”

“I think we’re past that now” is just one of the sixteen songs in Sanchez’s new album titled Shift, which is stated to release Friday, August 26. But, you can pre-order the whole album here!
