Pop Evil have announced the first details for their fifth studio album, a self-titled set that is on target for a Feb. 16 release date. In addition to the new album, the group has also released the first single from the album, "Waking Lions."
Immediately, listeners will clue in to the song being one of the group's heaviest singles to date. Their hard rock interpolates a little bit of metalcore crunch into the riffing, giving their music a harder edge of texture. The song takes an upswing for a soaring chorus, with singer Leigh Kakaty moving between yelling and crooning with ease.
As for the video, it's primarily a performance piece for the band, but there is a conceptual portion centered on a kid on the run from an unseen pursuer, ultimately finding the courage in himself and realizing the power in his voice and warding off the threat with explosive impact, fitting with the "Waking Lions" theme in the song.
“This is a dawn of a new day for Pop Evil," says vocalist Leigh Kakaty. "The new lineup feels like a whole new chapter for us. We could not be more proud to lead off this new album cycle with 'Waking Lions,' sending a positive message to our fans.”
