Hard rock outfit A-Z is set to release its sophomore album, “A2Z²”, on June 6 via Metal Blade Records. Led by legendary drummer Mark Zonder (FATES WARNING, WARLORD) and featuring his former FATES WARNING bandmate Ray Alder on vocals, “A2Z²” expands upon the strong foundation established by their well-received self-titled debut in 2022.
The second single from “A2Z²” is a a song called “I Am Numb”.
“I Am Numb” is an aggressive, in-your-face exploration of the emotional detachment most humans experience in life. The somber moniker is highlighted with an undeniable chorus hook and is balanced with hope and the promise tomorrow holds. Sonically, the track features energy like RAINBOW’s “Kill The King” with full-throttle riffs and post-rock effected long notes, which allow the drums to be exceptionally creative. The counter rhythms bring the listener on a whirlwind journey.
