Sandveiss ignites the sonic palette w/ new video for title track »Standing In The Fire« off new album out October 2024!
Quebec City, Canada’s heavy rock powerhouse Sandveiss is now releasing their electrifying new single, the title track from their upcoming album »Standing In The Fire«. The single showcases the band’s signature blend of heavy riffs and melodic vocals, pushing their sound into new territories while staying true to their rock roots. Vocalist/guitarist Luc Bourgeois explains the single:
“The main idea for the song »Standing In The Fire« was written during the early days of the lockdown in March 2020, actually after watching the »Rocky« movies with my son. The soundtracks of those movies inspired me to write a straightforward rock song as a tribute to the bands that made me want to play guitar when I was a kid in the 80s.”

He goes on to say that lyrically, the song addresses science denialism and the damage caused by disinformation. Belief and knowledge are two very different things, and unfortunately, there seems to be a blurring of the lines between the two for many people. Sandveiss always tries to push things a little further on every record that they do. On this one, they expanded their boundaries on all sides: the heavy is heavier, the prog is proggier, and the catchy is catchier.
The single, mixed and mastered by renowned producer Karl Daniel Lidén (known for his work with Dozer, Greenleaf, and Katatonia), offers listeners a fresh, textured sound that elevates Sandveiss’ already impressive sonic palette. For fans of heavy rock with progressive elements and powerful melodies, »Standing In The Fire« is a must-listen, especially for those with an interest in Mastodon, The Sword, and Dozer.
Due out on October 11th, 2024 from Folivora Records, the album »Standing In The Fire« is available for pre-order (Digital and Vinyl) at sandveiss.bandcamp.com.
