Behind The Tracks: VOTCHI - Silicon King (Single) (2025)

The Czech hard rock band VOTCHI is proud to introduce its new frontman, Peter Aristone, with the release of their first collaborative single. Peter, a renowned Slovak singer, musician, and songwriter, graduated in vocal performance from the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory. Beyond his vocal talent, he is an accomplished sound engineer and producer. Over the years, Peter has explored various genres and bands, including the pop group Popcorn Drama and the progressive metal band Personal Signet. He also actively pursues his solo career.

The idea for the new track, titled "Silicon King," emerged spontaneously during the band's first rehearsals with Peter. The lyrics, which delve into the influence of artificial intelligence on society and the potential downfall of civilization, were written by Peter with the assistance of AI, adding a unique depth to the creative process.

The theme of artificial intelligence is both fascinating and unsettling, said Peter Aristone. Writing these lyrics made me realize just how plausible some sci-fi scenarios could be. The song is not only a musical experiment but also a reflection on our times.

The new single marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration with the charismatic frontman and a bold step toward the international stage, an area where both the singer and the band already have significant experience. VOTCHI remains true to its rock roots while embracing new elements and creative dynamics.
