American band Eva Under Fire released their new single Murder Scene accompanied by a lyric video. The band, which rose from the Detroit underground music scene to become one of the most promising rising stars in the metal world, returned to the scene after a short break last October with the single Awakening. The release is by Better Noise Music.
“The song Murder Scene deals with eating disorders, body image distortion, insecurity – and how dreams can turn into nightmares when people who used to encourage you start judging you. My dream of performing on stage has put me in the spotlight, also in a bad way. I am just a body that is being judged and opinions are being made about it. The lies created by anxiety echo in my head and claim that I am not good enough. That is why I fight against it,” Eva Under Fire singer Amanda Lyberg explains the background of the song.
Lyberg’s career as a psychotherapist is also strongly present in the band’s music. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Psychology in 2018 and has since worked in the field of mental health, grief, and addiction. That same year, she lost her father to a fentanyl overdose. She says the experience has had a profound impact on her work and music.
Her story also inspired the 2023 short film My Rockstar, which featured music by Eva Under Fire on its soundtrack. The film has won over 20 awards at festivals including the Orlando Film Fest and the Toronto WILDfilm Festival.
