REACH unleash new single Hell on Earth – striking video & springboard for their bold new chapter Released November 21st via Icons Creating Evil Art + accompanying music video, and going on tour
Stockholm‐based rock powerhouse REACH return with their next rampage: Hell on Earth, arriving 21 November via Icons Creating Evil Art. The track is an unrelenting collision of melodic hooks, metal-fueled riffs and screams—an anthem for a world unsteady and unafraid, and for those of us still standing when the freaks are running the world with loaded guns.
- “My god / You made a world out of misery / It ain’t hard / Giving in as a human being…” (lyric quote)
Hell on Earth addresses the thin line between generosity and taking for granted, between trust and complacency, during a time of transition—and the track pulses with that urgency. Band explains:
- "Hell on Earth is a song about the current state of the world. It's a heavier song for a heavier time."
REACH are no strangers to international traction. Their 2024 album Prophecy charted new terrain: the single Mama Mama held heavy rotation at Germany’s major rock stations—Radio Bob, Star FM and Radio 21—while Swedish powerhouse Bandit Rock supported them with regular airplay. The band also toured extensively across Europe, sharpening their live intensity into a razor-sharp weapon.
This latest single marks a stylistic evolution: REACH embrace heavier textures, technical precision and emotional resonance, while maintaining their trademark melodic sensibility and vocal clarity (via frontman Ludvig). The forthcoming video underlines this shift—visual, direct and built to amplify the track’s cinematic scope. Filmed and directed by Damón Zurawski @futurelegendsfilms at the Icons Creating Evil Art studio. Band comments: "We're happy to be partnering up with Damón Zurawski for this one. It feels like the beginning of a great new partnership for us and we can't wait to reveal what we've been working on."
Upcoming tour
The journey continues live: support slot with Eclipse across Europe starting end of November—bringing Hell on Earth from studio to stage. This is your invitation to witness REACH in full force as they break new ground and bring their next album chapter into focus.
