Eicca Toppinen of APOCALYPTICA expresses his excitement about the collaboration, stating: “We wanted to make a song with Elize since we toured together in the beginning of 2020. This song felt perfect for this collaboration, and Elize is giving an amazing performance! The song is about being true to your values and the importance of being aware of formulating opinions and taking action in today’s world.”

In a recent interview with Tuonela MagazineEicca and his APOCALYPTICA bandmate Perttu Kivilaakso confirmed that they have been working on material for the next studio album. “We’ve had already two sessions,” Eicca said. “We are working in L.A on the new album and doing it in different periods, like in a few parts. And we’ve been working on that.”
