Sandveiss Debut Blistering “Stand In The Fire” Music Video

Quebec City, Canada’s heavy rock powerhouse Sandveiss, is now releasing their electrifying new single, the title track from their upcoming album Stand 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, “Stand in the Fire” is a must-listen, especially for those with an interest in Mastodon, The Sword, and Dozer.

Stand in the Fire is due out on October 11th via Folivora Records.
