Your Guide To Rock + Metal Bands Touring in 2022

April 21, 2022

Hard rock group POP EVIL has released a gritty new single, "Eye Of The Storm", along with an accompanying video directed by Sam Shapiro. The track is a powerful number that conveys the chaos of a hurricane through dark, electric instrumentals with a pummeling, chaotic metal maelstrom that contains an uplifting message at its center. The video is an allegory of the song's meaning and paints a picture of the storm with rapid, flashing lights and rain flooding the scene.

As for the song's lyrical plea, the band explains: "It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, at some point we all face a situation beyond our control. The wind howls at your door as darkness fills the sky and everything you know is being tested. You don't know if you can survive it. At times, it feels hopeless, but it's not. There is a path through the chaos and a way out of the confusion. You are stronger and closer than you think you are. The storm will pass. Don't let it bury you."

POP EVIL will begin its headlining tour on June 23 in Milwaukee at Summerfest, concluding on August 14 in Wichita at The Cotillion with special guests ZILLION and OXYMORRONS. POP EVIL will also support SHINEDOWN on its summer 2022 Canadian tour, starting on July 19 in Quebec City at Centre Videotron and ending on August 3 in Abbotsford at Abbotsford Centre.

POP EVIL celebrated its seventh career No. 1 single on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart in late 2021 with "Survivor" marking a historic milestone. "Survivor" joined the previous Top 10 single "Work" and No. 1 single "Breathe Again" from POP EVIL's latest album "Versatile", out now via MNRK Heavy. Over the course of its career, POP EVIL has achieved four gold singles with "Torn To Pieces" and "Trenches" from "Onyx", "Footsteps" from "Up" and "100 In A 55" from the band's debut studio album, "Lipstick On The Mirror".

POP EVIL's longtime bassist Matt DiRito announced his exit from the band last July, saying in a statement that "the details surrounding my departure are only known by a few people, and respectfully it will remain that way." He added: "Walking away from something I've helped build is not easy — but it is the best thing for the band, myself and our respective futures. POP EVIL will continue on and so will I, just not together." He has since been replaced by Joey "Chicago" Walser of EGYPT CENTRAL and DEVOUR THE DAY.

Pop Evil went deep on their Versatile album, but the band is ready to make their next musical statement with the song "Eye of the Storm" that's arriving ahead of their summer touring.

The band just released the Sam Shapiro-directed video for the track, which can be viewed below, with the band delivering a rain-soaked performance as singer Leigh Kakaty sings of being trapped within the eye of the proverbial storm.

The band says of the lyrical inspiration, “It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, at some point we all face a situation beyond our control. The wind howls at your door as darkness fills the sky and everything you know is being tested. You don’t know if you can survive it. At times, it feels hopeless, but it’s not. There is a path through the chaos and a way out of the confusion. You are stronger and closer than you think you are. The storm will pass. Don’t let it bury you.”

Check out the lyrics and video below and you can pick up the song at this location. At present the song is not attached to an album, but that could always change.

Pop Evil, "Eye of the Storm" Lyrics

I know you’re running from a tidal wave you can’t ignore
I know you’re trapped inside a hurricane, in the Eye of the Storm
Of the storm
Of the storm
When it feels like you can’t go on
You’re only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you’re only one step away
From getting out of the Eye of the Storm
Eye of the Storm
You’re one step away
From falling off the edge
It’s messing with your head
It’s making you forget that you’re one step away
From conquering the pain
From overcoming darkness when fear’s in the way
You’re only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you’re only one step away
Don't let it bury you
I know you’re running from a tidal wave you can’t ignore
I know you’re trapped inside a hurricane, in the Eye of the Storm

But you’re only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
(I know it’s hard to let go)
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you’re only one step away
From getting out of the Eye of the Storm
Eye of the Storm
Don't let it bury you
