Singer David Sanchez stated: “New Eyes is an exciting step forward as it’s Havok’s first independent release since the early days of the band. ‘Death Is An Illusion’ introduces the band’s first release since 2020 with ferocious speed and aggression that Havok has become known for. The EP’s intro appeals to fans of metal and punk alike with its D-Beat rhythms and gang vocal choruses. The title track, ‘New Eyes.’ is a dynamic harmony-driven song about one’s perspective changing over time and reflection. These new songs were fun to write and I think people may be surprised by the ambiguous and metaphysical nature of the lyrics.”
Regarding the covers, Sanchez states: “We decided to cover a classic band that nobody would expect us to… Credence Clearwater Revival. We’re all CCR fans and their song, ‘Commotion,’ was a perfect candidate for a proper ‘metalizing,’ since most of the metal was already built-in. We made it a little faster, turned up the distortion, and tweaked some riffs here and there to bend into the Havok style.”
“All in all, releasing the New Eyes EP will be a major turning point in our musical journey and we hope that we’ll reach new fans and resonate with people who have been supporting Havok over the years. We’re stoked to play these new songs live and give fans the chance to scream the lyrics with us!”
