After amassing tens of millions of streams, shaking the charts, touring with bands like From Ashes To New, Asking Alexandria, and Skillet, and performing with 30 Seconds to Mars, all the while earning critical acclaim from Loudwire and New Noise Magazine, EVA UNDER FIRE return with the riveting and demon-conquering Awakening. Out today (October 17), it’s the first taste of new music in two years from the Detroit, MI quintet, signalling perhaps that this could be the start of a new album campaign.
Awakening is a blistering and inspirational anthem from Amanda Lyberg (vocals), Rob Lyberg (lead guitar), Chris Slapnik (rhythm guitar), Ed Gawlik (bass), and Dave Miller II (drums). “The guys and I are stoked about the upcoming album,” proclaims Amanda, whose gutsy vocals spectacularly cut through the raging guitars. “These songs are everything we wanted to write. We made sure it was the most honest version of our story. Awakening is an anthem about conquering personal demons. The rest of the album is what it took to get there. It’s also a story packaged in the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played, so I think listeners will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers to the new era!”
EVA UNDER FIRE are committed to delivering music that confronts fears, anxieties, traumas, and the past head-on. The band amplify this kind of open-hearted honesty through tightly crafted and transformational hard rock anthems. They’ve tirelessly ground out of the Midwest and built a faithful following by delivering raw and relatable truth without filter.
“We’ve slept in Walmart parking lots, and we still tour in a van,” says singer Amanda Lyberg. “The first album cycle was a reflection of what we like to call our Detroit Grit. It allows us to find a way against a lot of odds. You have to really work to make it out of here.”
