Michigan's own I Prevail are back with a new album, True Power, out Aug. 19. Listen to the album's first single, "Body Bag," below.
"Trauma was a very reflective record," singer Brian Burkheiser said in a statement. "I'd struggled with a major vocal injury and had been wondering whether I wanted to continue doing this thing at all. Eric [Vanlerberghe] had also lost his best friend over that same time, so there was a lot of heartache behind it. With TRUE POWER, we were going into a new phase."
He added, "After taking that trauma and figuring out how to channel it, you find this sense of newfound confidence and an ability to grow as a person: to become truly yourself. We took a 'no rules' mentality into the songwriting, and a lot of it is heavy as fuck, but the songs sound as diverse as they've ever been, too. There is a song on the record called 'There's Fear In Letting Go,' and that became a huge mantra for us. Yeah, it can be scary letting go of things, but it can also help you take back everything that's yours: which is exactly what we've done on this album."
Valentine's Day is upon us, and that means one thing: It's time to crank up some great metal songs about love! Read on for my list, and hit me up on social media with your favorites!
