Swedish heavy rockers The Sonic Overlords unleash new single & music video »Calling Demons By Your Name«

Swedish heavy rock/doom architects The Sonic Overlords have returned with a thunderous new digital single, »Calling Demons By Your Name«, accompanied by a striking performance music video. Released via M-Theory Audio, the track serves as a powerful statement of intent as the band continues actively working on more new music.

The digital single is available on all streaming/download platforms, or watch »Calling Demons By Your Name« HERE.

As the world seemingly devolves into chaos, The Sonic Overlords shine a beacon of hope in the form of a new single, »Calling Demons By Your Name«. An unrelenting steamroller of a track, packed with grit and power, that for a few minutes pulls you away from everyday troubles and into a realm where metal reigns supreme.

The new track pushes the band’s signature blend of crushing classic metal and massive melodic hooks into exciting new territory. Guitarist Morgan Zocek explains the vision behind the new anthem:

“The foundation of the song is heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, but the chorus also brings in a touch of Journey through its melodies and harmonies. And that’s something I would like to keep experimenting with in the future – blending AOR elements with our doom/classic hard rock sound. I feel like that combination could become something quite unique.”

Background & praise for the debut album:

Formed in 2017 by guitarist Morgan Zocek, The Sonic Overlords joined a few years later by vocalist Marcus Zachrisson Rubin and the bottom-end of bassist Daniel Ramírez caught the attention of the global metal underground with their 2021 debut album, »Last Days Of Babylon«. The band established a “warm familiarity” by seamlessly bridging the gap between late ’70s/early ’80s classic hard rock and epic heavy doom (think Dio/Martin-era Black Sabbath, and classic Rainbow, Candlemass, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Scorpions and Michael Schenker Group).

The debut album earned widespread critical acclaim from the international metal press:

“Serves some sturdy fare of hard and heavy rock that comes with that tasty doom flavor we love… You’ll discern references to the now-defunct Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and some guitar-soaked shenanigans.” — RockmusicRaider

“In the Black Sabbath genre, it stands out as one of the most enjoyable offerings of the year… raises very high the colors of an epic heavy doom.” — Music Waves

“It’s always heavy, even when it’s not driven by really heavy riffs… a doomy take on classic rock.” — Apocalypse Later Music Reviews

With »Calling Demons By Your Name«, The Sonic Overlords, together with drummer Michael Dahlqvist, are cementing their place in the modern heavy rock landscape while carving out a melodic path entirely their own. Stay tuned for more updates and new music announcements in the near future.
