Highlord Posts New Lyric Video Online
Italian Power metallers Highlord are unveiling their first single "Eyes Wide Open" off their forthcoming album "Freakin' Out of Hell" due out on December 9th via Rockshots Records.
The band explains the track:
"Starting with a state-of-the-art heavy riff and guitar solo, it slows down with clean guitars for the vocal parts, quickly regaining territory on the fast and heavy side, culminating with the chorus. The following section is quite progressive-fashioned, followed by back-and-forth guitar and keyboard solos. The final chorus concludes the song. The topic of the lyrics is basically the same as Off the Beaten Path, we must keep our eyes well open to detect a long list of deceits." More...
