about

The second single from our forthcoming double album "TERRA NOVA," 'Sabotage' is a powerful and anthemic track that showcases the band's unique approach to progressive rock, which blends elements of classic and contemporary influences.

Combining soaring vocals, intricate guitar riffs, and a rhythm section that drives like a locomotive, 'Sabotage' aptly showcases the band's individual talents and collective chemistry.

Fronted by the charismatic and dynamic lead vocalist Matt Young, HeKz delivers an impassioned performance that captivates from start to finish. Guitarist Mark Bogert shows that his command of the instrument is awe-inspiring, whilst violinist Irina Markevich's contribution to the track showcases her singular voice as a musician and cements her role as an integral part of HeKz's sound. With an unwavering sense of precision and impeccable timing, drummer Moyano el Buffalo creates a rhythmic foundation that propels the song forward with relentless energy.

The song features a surprise appearance by special guest Nic Weaver, who provides a full brass section to 'Sabotage.' Weaver's arrangements elevate HeKz’s sound to new heights, and his performance on ‘Sabotage’ is sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners.

The lyrics of ‘Sabotage’ depict a protagonist caught in the depths of their own struggle, yearning to break free from the shackles of their tumultuous reality and desperately yearning for a rejuvenating new beginning.

lyrics

There’s something in me and it won't come out
I’m full of fear and I’m full of doubt
Every time I try to push it down
It's like a flood and I’m gonna drown

Fighting back, it’s a daily war
Gets tough to get up off the floor
Look at me - my prime of life

Don’t know why I feel like this
Shoot on target but I always miss
It’s like there’s a joke but I can’t laugh
Ordered a full glass but they gave me half

It’s time to even up the score
No need to take it anymore
Look at me - already gone

I’m leaving forever
No reason to stay
I’ll be back after never
Come find me someday

I really don’t want to be here anymore

I’m leaving forever
No reason to stay
I’ll be back after never
Come find me someday
