Dark, heavy, no compromise. Exactly what you'd expect from this pairing.
"Metal Hands" is a track off Machines, the collaborative album between Novatore and producer C-Lance. Second cut on the project and one of the hardest. Novatore delivers exactly the kind of grimy, aggressive lyricism he has built his name on, and C-Lance provides a backdrop that matches the energy bar for bar.
Novatore is a fixture of the horrorcore and hardcore underground, an MC whose delivery has always leaned into the darker, more menacing end of the spectrum. His catalog is built for listeners who want their rap uncompromising and confrontational. No radio ambitions, no softening for wider appeal. Just bars with weight.
C-Lance is the right producer for this world. Best known for his extensive work with Vinnie Paz and the Jedi Mind Tricks extended universe, C-Lance builds beats that are cinematic and heavy, full of dark atmospherics and hard-hitting drums. His production has anchored some of the most respected releases in the underground hardcore scene. Pairing him with Novatore for a full album is a natural fit. Both artists operate in the same lane and share the same refusal to compromise.
Machines runs deep on features too, with Copywrite on "Apple Pie," Merkules on the title track, and more across the tracklist. But "Metal Hands" stands on its own. Novatore and C-Lance locked in, no guest needed.
