Danish virtuoso musician Nicklas Sonne’s ‘Route 65’ single is out along with an official video, via Frontiers Music Srl
Sonne described the new single by saying: “’Route 65’ captures a state of mind of being young and free of worries, reflecting on the freedom, love, and joy of a time when life felt easier. The sound and intensity of the song captures a modern approach to an old-school classic rock vibe.”
The musician, vocalist, guitarist, and producer has become known as a presence in progressive and heavy metal scene. He began his musical experience as a drummer before moving onto the guitar and ultimately becoming a singer songwriter in an array of metal and hard rock projects, starting with Defecto, one of Denmark’s leading metal bands, back in 2010.
In addition to Defecto, Sonnes is part of Aries Descendant along with Jonah Weingarten (Pyramaze, Catalyst Crime) who released their debut album on Frontiers Music Srl October last year and been described as fusing “the evocative allure of film music with the raw power of heavy metal”.
A multi-instrumentalist from an early age, Sonne honed his instrumental skills, later diving into songwriting and production. His talent quickly gained industry attention, leading to collaborations with renowned producers Jan Langhoff (Aqua) and Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). This pivotal moment shaped his signature sound; progressive metal infused with orchestral and choral elements.
Other bands he’s been in and acts he’s played with include Evil Masquerade, Theory, Hank Shermann, One Machine, Waving Memories, Section A, Metallica Jam, Wasted, Omvendt Korstog. His career has included international tours in places such as Japan, and opening for metal heavyweights including Metallica and Rammstein.
