As the world seemingly devolves into chaos, The Sonic Overloads shine a beacon of hope in the form of a new single, “Calling Demons By Your Name.” An unrelenting steamroller of a track, packed with grit and power, that for a few minutes pulls you away from everyday troubles and into a realm where metal reigns supreme.
The new track pushes the band’s signature blend of crushing classic metal and massive melodic hooks into exciting new territory. Guitarist Morgan Zocek explains the vision behind the new anthem:
“The foundation of the song is heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, but the chorus also brings in a touch of Journey through its melodies and harmonies. And that’s something I would like to keep experimenting with in the future – blending AOR elements with our doom/classic hard rock sound. I feel like that combination could become something quite unique.”
Formed in 2017 by guitarist Morgan Zocek, The Sonic Overloads joined a few years later by vocalist Marcus Zachrisson Rubin and the bottom-end of bassist Daniel Ramírez caught the attention of the global metal underground with their 2021 debut album, ‘Last Days of Babylon.’
The band established a “warm familiarity” by seamlessly bridging the gap between late ‘70s/early ‘80s classic hard rock and epic heavy doom (think Dio/Martin-era Black Sabbath, and classic Rainbow, Candlemass, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Scorpions and Michael Schenker Group). Also, their debut album earned widespread critical acclaim from the international metal press.
With “Calling Demons By Your Name,” The Sonic Overloads, together with drummer Michael Dahlqvist, are cementing their place in the modern heavy rock landscape while carving out a melodic path entirely their own. Stay tuned for more updates and new music announcements in the near future.
