Havok is again with their first new materials in 4 years, they usually’ve given us all zero warning. Havok is now streaming their new EP New Eyes that includes two originals the band’s takes on Metallica‘s “Eye of the Beholder” and Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s “Commotion.”
“New Eyes is an thrilling step ahead because it’s Havok‘s first unbiased launch for the reason that early days of the band,” stated Havok frontman David Sanchez of the EP. “‘Loss of life Is An Phantasm’ introduces the band’s first launch since 2020 with ferocious pace and aggression that Havok has change into identified for. The EP’s intro appeals to followers of metallic and punk alike with its D-Beat rhythms and gang vocal choruses. The title monitor, ‘New Eyes.’ is a dynamic harmony-driven tune about one’s perspective altering over time and reflection. These new songs had been enjoyable to put in writing and I believe folks could also be stunned by the ambiguous and metaphysical nature of the lyrics.”
Relating to the covers, Sanchez added: “We determined to cowl a traditional band that no one would anticipate us to… Credence Clearwater Revival. We’re all CCR followers and their tune, ‘Commotion,’ was an ideal candidate for a correct ‘metalizing,’ since many of the metallic was already built-in. We made it a little bit sooner, turned up the distortion, and tweaked some riffs right here and there to bend into the Havok type.”
“We had mentioned masking a Metallica tune for years, however did not wish to cowl an enormous hit that had been lined to dying, so we opted for the lesser-known ‘Eye Of The Beholder.’ We selected to cowl this tune as a result of it is so damned heavy and the lyrics replicate Havok‘s lyrical themes all through the final decade. We stayed true to the unique the place it counts, however made positive to boost the bass guitar and drums to breathe new life into the monitor.
“All in all, releasing the New Eyes EP will likely be a significant turning level in our musical journey and we hope that we’ll attain new followers and resonate with individuals who have been supporting Havok over time. We’re stoked to play these new songs dwell and provides followers the possibility to scream the lyrics with us!”
