The rock band Heart Shaped Zombie, known for their energetic blend of ’90s grunge and progressive rock, is preparing to release their new EP, “Falling Forward.” This project promises an intense and emotional experience, addressing themes like resilience and self-reliance—essential elements in everyday life.
The EP begins with “Hang Me Out,” a song that conveys the struggle to move forward despite past wounds. With a mix of powerful rhythms and reflective lyrics, the band effectively captures the essence of personal triumph.
Another standout track on the EP is “Joker,” which critiques societal expectations, ranging from career promises to the challenges of finding one’s place in the world. The song’s narrative starts in loneliness and gradually builds to a cry of defiance, urging listeners to resist the pressure to conform.
Meanwhile, “Dreams” reflects the feeling of being trapped in a seemingly endless routine, a theme that will resonate with anyone struggling to find their path in a world full of expectations. In this track, the band explores the need for genuine support rather than superficial connections.
Finally, the EP concludes with “Shoulders,” offering a moment of calm amid the storm and reminding listeners that true strength often lies within.
Heart Shaped Zombie, who have built a strong reputation in Denver’s vibrant music scene, stand out for their unique sound, combining the rawness of grunge with the complexity of progressive rock. Influenced by iconic bands like Tool and Nirvana, and the lyrical intensity of singers like Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette, they deliver a sound that is both powerful and emotional.
“Falling Forward” will be available on all digital platforms starting Friday, marking a new chapter in Heart Shaped Zombie’s journey as they continue exploring new sonic frontiers while staying connected with their growing fan base.
