Born from the pages of Unleashed—Amber Swenor’s book on radical authenticity—this track was written as a rally cry for those on the path of self-liberation. With cinematic intensity, soaring vocals and unflinching emotion, "FREE" is the freedom anthem for those on the journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance.
LISTEN ON SPOTIFY "STANDOFF" to me is about betrayal, defiance, and reclaiming power. Reflecting on a chaotic relationship where trust was shattered and where manipulation ran deep. It’s about once being vulnerable and unsure and then eventually rising up, standing firm and refusing to be controlled or broken any longer.
The repeated confrontational refrain — “come and get a piece of me” — is a bold challenge to the betrayer, turning pain into strength. The song builds from confusion and heartbreak into full-blown resistance, ending in a decisive emotional and personal standoff. - Corey James LISTEN ON SPOTIFY Rising from the wreckage of raw emotion and creative defiance, THE ESTES METHOD returns with a haunting new single that dares to dig deeper than ever before. “I’ve Become” arrives today June 9 — and it’s not just a song, it’s a mirror held up to the self.
Following the incendiary success of their breakout single “Reclaim”, The Estes Method pushes their sonic boundaries once more, crafting a track that is as devastating as it is beautiful. “I’ve Become” confronts the internal war between self-destruction and the will to survive. The song explores the physical toll of recklessness and emotional torment—where pain is both a consequence and a catalyst. The song follows the protagonist beginning to break free, and drawing strength from the very blood and suffering that once consumed them. It’s a declaration of resilience: pain won’t win and a stronger self emerges. “I’ve Become” is about transformation through darkness—embracing the scars and feeding the fire, one drop at a time. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY LISTEN ON APPLE MUSIC "SYNTHETIC ENSLAVEMENT" is a powerful exploration of addiction, capturing the intense emotional and psychological battles we’ve experienced firsthand or witnessed in those close to us. It confronts the suffocating feeling of being trapped within one's own destructive patterns, emphasizing the critical role of personal accountability in breaking free. Originally crafted by a former bandmate during a difficult period marked by their own inner demons, the song stands as an authentic, heartfelt testament to their ongoing fight at the time of their departure. Through raw honesty,
OF THE FALLEN channels this deeply personal struggle into a message of solidarity and hope for all facing similar trials. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY NEW MUSIC RELEASE: ABOVE SNAKES RETURNS WITH EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE “FORSAKEN”- LISTEN TO IT HERE6/5/2025 “FORSAKEN” sits in the tension between holding on and letting go. It’s about loving something that’s slipping through your fingers knowing it might break you, but not ready to walk away. Dark, raw, and restless, "FORSAKEN" captures the weight of memory, the fear of change, and the fight to not lose yourself in the process.
The wait is over. Hard rock renegades ABOVE SNAKES are back with a vengeance, unleashing their most anthemic and emotionally charged single to date: “FORSAKEN.” Rising metalcore phenoms OUTFOXER are poised to awaken the underground with their most ambitious release yet: “ALETHEIA NYX” — a visceral exploration of truth, darkness, and the chaos that binds them. Drawing from Greek myth and modern existentialism, this new single is not just a song—it’s a reckoning.
“ALETHEIA NYX” is named after the Greek goddess of truth, Aletheia, whose mother is Nyx, the goddess of night. The song is about the nature of deception in a more visual representation, often repeating the line "truth in the night." The idea being, if you keep someone in the dark and tell them what is in front of or around them, they have no choice but to believe you because they can't actually see it themselves, serving as a metaphor for the act of obscuring or masking the truth for deceptive purposes |
