Rising melodic metal powerhouse Voltstorm are thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, “Wake Me Up,” from their upcoming new album ‘Break The Silence’, which is due in September.
This compelling new track marks a significant evolution in the band’s sound, delivering a powerful message wrapped in dynamic, Queensrÿche inspired melodies. “Wake Me Up” is a high-energy anthem about reclaiming control over one’s life and fostering a deeper awareness of the world around us. The song resonates with listeners who feel like they’re in survival mode, urging them to awaken their minds and view their surroundings with renewed clarity. Voltstorm shared their inspiration behind the track, stating, “‘Wake Me Up’ is about trying to regain control of life and develop awareness towards those around us, even when we feel we can only fight for our own survival. It’s an uplifting song that pushes listeners to switch on their minds and look at the world with new eyes. Musically, it’s one of our first forays into a more open, songwriting-based approach, foregoing classic riffs for more nuanced, Queensrÿche-inspired vibes.
“We feel it’s got everything a melodic metal song needs: a solid rhythm bedrock with bass and drums, in-your-face vocals, and flashy guitar playing!” This single showcases Voltstorm’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of melodic metal, blending a solid rhythm foundation with powerful vocals and intricate guitar work. Fans will appreciate the band’s departure from traditional riffs, embracing a more sophisticated and emotive songwriting style. “Wake Me Up” is now available for streaming and download on Spotify, Apple Music and all major music platforms.
