That was really something that we worked hard for – between the instrumental tracks and vocal tracks, that nothing sounded out of place on the record, which was a tall order because there are so many different styles. Different generations, different styles of music, so we could cover as much ground as possible.” The songs on The Call Of The Void are undeniably cohesive, despite featuring widely varied singers. I definitely wanted to make sure there was a lot of different representation on the record – male vocalists and female vocalists. Gender equality was intentional, according to Nita. There’s eight guest vocalists on The Call Of The Void – four are male, and four are female. So, maybe it’ll turn into more people hearing those songs.

But there was an EP that we put out for free download. “Everybody in the band got pulled in different directions there was never a full-length effort or a tour. Although it hasn’t been updated since 2014, the Facebook page for Consume The Fire is still online, along with a few videos on YouTube.

So, that was where some of the song came from and the title,” says Nita.

“Yes! Actually, some of the riffs from that song were written when I was in that band, and it was a song that band never used. Specifically with the instrumental song “Consume The Fire”, as that was the name of one of her previous bands. While The Call Of The Void is comprised of 14 brand new, jaw-dropping tracks, it also pays homage to Nita’s past.

Furthermore, Nita is the first ever female signature artist with Ibanez guitars, and she’s performed at numerous home games for football teams The LA KISS and Los Angeles Rams, as well as at WWE pay-per-view events. In addition to rocking stages around the globe with Alice Cooper since 2014, Nita Strauss has played with all-female Iron Maiden tribute band The Iron Maidens, and Demi Lovato. I’m so happy to finally have it out to the world,” proclaims Nita. “It was a long process, definitely a labor of love. Best known as one of the guitarists in Alice Cooper’s band, Nita Strauss will release her second solo album, The Call Of The Void, on July 7 via Sumerian Records.
