After amassing tens of millions of streams, shaking the charts, touring with bands like From Ashes To New, Asking Alexandria, and Skillet, and performing with 30 Seconds To Mars, Eva Under Fire return with the riveting and demon-conquering “Awakening”. Out now, it’s the first taste of new music in two years from the Detroit, Michigan quintet, signaling perhaps that this could be the start of a new album campaign.
“Awakening” is a blistering and inspirational anthem from Amanda Lyberg (vocals), Rob Lyberg (lead guitar), Chris Slapnik (rhythm guitar), Ed Gawlik (bass), and Dave Miller II (drums). “The guys and I are stoked about the upcoming album,” proclaims Amanda, whose gutsy vocals spectacularly cut through the raging guitars. “These songs are everything we wanted to write. We made sure it was the most honest version of our story. ‘Awakening’ is an anthem about conquering personal demons. The rest of the album is what it took to get there. It’s also a story packaged in the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played so I think listeners will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers to the new era!”

Eva Under Fire are committed to delivering music that confronts fears, anxieties, traumas, and the past head-on. The band amplify this kind of open-hearted honesty through tightly crafted and transformational hard rock anthems. They’ve tirelessly grinded out of the Midwest and built a faithful following by delivering raw and relatable truth without filter.
“We’ve slept in Walmart parking lots, and we still tour in a van,” says singer Amanda Lyberg. “The first album cycle was a reflection of what we like to call our ‘Detroit Grit.’ It allows us to find a way against a lot of odds. You have to really work to make it out of here.”
For “Awakening” and all their new music, Amanda drew on her career as a licensed therapist to foster an open dialogue among the band members, empowering everyone to be heard during the recording. Her work in therapy started in 2018 when she graduated with a Master of Arts in Psychology degree and went on to work at a mental health clinic in Detroit, Transcendence Behavioral Health (owned by Dr. Stephanie Williams). That same year, her father passed away due to a fentanyl overdose. Her mother survived the same batch that killed her father, and she’s been sober for the past six years. In addition to her thriving and busy music career, Amanda is currently a practicing psychotherapist specializing in trauma work, grief and loss, and addiction recovery.
