Eva Under Fire return with ‘Awakening the first new piece music in two years from the Detroit, MI quintet, with the likelihood that there may a new album undeway.
A blistering and inspirational anthem from Amanda Lyberg (Vocals), Rob Lyberg (Lead guitar), Chris Slapnik (rhythm guitar), Ed Gawlik (bass), and Dave Miller II (Drums). “The guys and I are stoked about the upcoming album,” proclaimed Lyberg whose gutsy vocals spectacularly cut through the raging guitars. “These songs are everything we wanted to write. We made sure it was the most honest version of our story. ‘Awakening’ is an anthem about conquering personal demons. The rest of the album is what it took to get there. It’s also a story packaged in the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played so I think listeners will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers to the new era!”
Committed to delivering music that confronts fears, anxieties, traumas, and the past head-on. The bandamplify this kind of open-hearted honesty through tightly crafted and transformational hard rock anthems. They’ve grinded out of the States’ Midwest and built a faithful following by delivering raw and relatable truth without filter.
“We’ve slept in Walmart parking lots, and we still tour in a van,” said Lyberg. “The first album cycle was a reflection of what we like to call our Detroit Grit. It allows us to find a way against a lot of odds. You have to really work to make it out of here.”
For ‘Awakening’ and all their new music, Lyberg drew on her career as a licensed therapist to foster an open dialogue among the band members, empowering everyone to be heard during the recording. Her work in therapy started in 2018 when she graduated with a Master of Arts in Psychology degree and went on to work at a mental health clinic in Detroit, Transcendence Behavioural Health (owned by Dr. Stephanie Williams). That same year, her father passed away due to a fentanyl overdose. Her mother survived the same batch that killed her father, and she’s been sober for the past six years. In addition to her thriving and busy music career, she is currently a practicing psychotherapist specialising in trauma work, grief and loss, and addiction recovery.
Her story turned into a 2023 short film, My Rockstar, that used Eva Under Fire music throughout, has won over 20 awards in several film festivals including Orlando Film Fest, Wild Rivers Film Festival and thet Toronto WILDfilm Festival.
