Chosen by Monk

The Californian crossover crüe have us bowing to their will with this latest sample from their upcoming new album, which by a #ProcessOfElimination we have figured out will be released next month:

Vocalist Chris Ramos says of the single:

‘By My Will‘ is more or less about the idea of getting revenge on the ones who‘ve hurt you and left you for dead. The message sent is basically that I now have the upper hand and ’by my will‘ I will come out as the one on top in the end and make sure you know it.

Speaking about the West Coast band’s evolution after almost a decade together, guitarist Justin Ton told us:

I feel like unconsciously the music has become more complex with the songwriting and how we play live as well. We all naturally wanted to become better musicians and it shows in our music and live presence.

Our music has a metal/hardcore twist, but I‘d say we intentionally leaned more and more metal in our sound.

About the resulting album, Ramos adds:

Lyrically, I wanted to touch on a bit of everything, with every song about a different topic. I feel like I was able to articulate a better understanding of what I was trying to express previously.
