Vik Kovacs, a songwriter, producer, and singer, collaborated with his band Telling Secrets to unveil “(Wake Up) Full Moon” as the debut single from their upcoming album “Telling Secrets I,” set to release on June 14th.
In 3 minutes you will have an adrenaline rush, and sing along while banging while listening to “(Wake Up) Full Moon.” The track structure is built over a melodic metal atmosphere but flavoured with various elements including hip-hop, alternative, and metalcore drumming styles.
Vik Kovacs delivers an impressive and powerful performance, seamlessly transitioning with each riff and beat. The lyrical concept of “(Wake Up) Full Moon” offers hope for individuals struggling with self-doubt, promoting self-trust to conquer obstacles and emerge stronger. It sheds light on the unconscious tendency to self-sabotage. Personally, I resonated with this message and believe many others do too. This track serves as a powerful motivation to persevere towards your goals despite doubts and setbacks.
I was impressed by the attention to detail in the production and arrangement by Vik Kovacs and Telling Secrets, as mentioned in their press release. Vocal engineering by Rachel Blum (recognized for her work with Hozier and SZA) and additional vocal arrangement by Matt McAndrew (from Rain City Drive) introduce compelling pop elements to the track. One of the key factors contributing to the success of this melodic metal hit in 2024 is undoubtedly the music video – it is truly remarkable. The videography, editing, and direction were exceptionally well done. The song’s music video, crafted by Industrialism Films, renowned for its collaborations with Black Veil Brides, 3TEETH, and We Came As Romans, presents an immersive and thrilling visual experience. Get ready to experience “(Wake Up) Full Moon” and anticipate their debut album, which I am eagerly looking forward to. Cheers!
