Quebec City heavy rock band Sandveiss has released their highly anticipated album, “Standing in the Fire,” which debuted on October 11, 2024. This album marks the band’s most ambitious and diverse project to date, featuring eight powerful tracks that highlight their evolution and musical mastery.
Five years after the release of their sophomore album, “Saboteur,” the band expressed their excitement about this new offering. “Musically, it showcases diversity but also, we hope, homogeneity and coherence,” they stated. “We draw from a wide range of influences, from metal to stoner rock, from prog to punk rock. While some are more apparent than others, they all play a key role in shaping our sound.”
The production of “Standing in the Fire” combines a modern feel with vintage sounds and instruments, thanks to the expert mixing by Karl Daniel Lidén, known for his work with Greenleaf, Dozer, and The Ocean Collective. This collaboration adds depth, texture, and power to the album.
Lyrically, the songs offer a poignant commentary on human and social issues, addressing topics such as politics and environmental concerns. The band notes that they have pushed their boundaries across all fronts, stating, “The heavy is heavier, the prog is proggier, and the catchy is catchier.” They have embraced new territories while remaining true to their core sound, making “Standing in the Fire” a must-listen for fans of The Sword, Dozer, and Baroness.
