Syracuse, NY hardcore heavy-hitters Freya are returning to their roots with their pulverizing new full-length, Fight As One, which will arrive on September 22 via Upstate Records. Representing the band’s newest track off of the upcoming album comes the mid-paced, catchy and upbeat track “Omens.”
Of the new single, Freya vocalist Karl Buechner states: “‘Omens’ is one of my favorite songs on Fight As One. When Ethan and Eric first played it for me, the energy of the beats and riffs emanated a spirit of positivity. I wanted the lyrics to match with that brightness. Pessimism is like gravity; it’s a force that is always there dragging us down, and it has to constantly be fought against. ‘Omens’ is about that struggle. Constant effort, discipline, and positivity are how we incrementally advance towards our goals. To me, this song is an important reminder.”
On the newest album, Freya are joined by three legendary hardcore front-men: Freddie Cricien (Madball) delivers a crushing performance on the title track; Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) seethes on “Sense of Doom,” and Scott Vogel (Terror) drops the hammer on “Thousand Yard Stare.”
