The single, produced at Rogue Studios in Wembley by Alessio Garavello, is a four-minute track that captures the raw energy and sophisticated sound that Voltstorm has developed. The music video accompanying the release further amplifies the song’s intensity, offering a visual representation that complements the track’s themes of struggle and defiance.
Voltstorm’s debut album, released in 2022, was well-received, with critics praising the band’s ability to merge various metal subgenres into a cohesive and engaging sound. Their music, influenced by bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Judas Priest, has been described as a powerful mix of old-school and modern metal, with a strong emphasis on lyrical content that reflects real-life issues.

In recent feedback, Heathcliff from The Lions Ground Entertainment Group praised the single’s guitar work and production quality while encouraging the band to continue pushing their creative boundaries. The album cover, while intense, was noted as potentially benefiting from a simpler design for better digital visibility.
