FREYA Premiere New Single & Video For "Omens" By Larry Petro, News Monkey Thursday, August 17, 2023 @ 10:43 AM
Today the band has shared a fresh new single, "Omens". ""Omens" one of my favorite songs on Fight As One," shares vocalist Karl Buechner. "When Ethan and Eric first played it for me the energy of the beats and riffs emanated a spirit of positivity. I wanted the lyrics to match with that brightness. Pessimism is like gravity; it's a force that is always there dragging us down and it has to constantly be fought against. "Omens" is about that struggle. Constant effort, discipline and positivity are how we incrementally advance towards our goals. To me this song is an important reminder."

FREYA are joined by three legendary hardcore front-men on their newest album; Freddie Cricien (MADBALL) delivers a crushing performance on the title track, Jamey Jasta (HATEBREED) seethes on "Sense of Doom" and Scott Vogel (TERROR) drops the hammer on "Thousand Yard Stare".
Hailing from Syracuse, NY, FREYA was formed in 2001 by three members of EARTH CRISIS, bassist Ian Edwards, lead guitarist Eric Edwards and vocalist Karl Buechner. When EARTH CRISIS temporarily concluded, members split into three separate bands; FREYA, percussionist and guitarist Dennis Merrick and Scott Crouse, respectively, formed SLAVE ONE and all five EARTH CRISIS members continued on with their reactivated project band, PATH OF RESISTANCE.
Over the past 20 years, FREYA have blazed a path through both the worldwide hardcore and metal scenes. Prominently featured on MTV's Room Raiders, Road Rules and the iconic Headbangers Ball as well as the Showtime series, Shameless, the FREYA vault runs deep with their soon to be seventh release, Fight As One, since their inception. FREYA's discography has been featured in Kerrang!, Decibel, Amp and Metal Hammer for their unique sound, a well-crafted amalgamation of darkened New York style hardcore with a generous dose of thrash metal stirred into the mix.
With countless concerts, festival dates and highly successful worldwide tours behind them, FREYA have earned their place in the pantheon. Over the years, FREYA has toured with WALLS OF JERICHO, ALL SHALL PERISH, BORN FROM PAIN and SWORN ENEMY as well as sharing the stage with ANDREW WK, NAPALM DEATH, DRI, BEHEMOTH, CROWBAR and HATEBREED.

"FREYA is the perfect vehicle for us to cross over sonicly into uncharted regions, to combine styles and retell the timeless stories of the heroes and villains from both the history and folklore of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It's an endless well to draw from". (Erick Edwards, Final Word Fanzine).|
