Hard rock & metal band Queen of Spades joins forces with raw emotions and powerful riffs in their brand-new single ‘Impact’.
The track offers a hard-hitting and authentic exploration of the impact mental health struggles can have on our lives.
On their first album, Queen of Spades wrote a lot of classic rock songs.
But after releasing the album during Corona, they worked really hard on completing their sound and image.
‘Impact’ is the new sound of the band.
After releasing their last single ‘Broken Satellite‘, ‘Impact‘ is a follow up on the story.
Sentence from ‘Broken Satellite‘:
“On Impact, life as we know it will no longer exist.”
While ‘Broken Satellite’ is about losing communication with people in 2024, ‘Impact‘ is about never giving up.
With ‘Impact‘, the band delivers not only a musical explosion of energy but also a message that resonates deeply.
The song addresses the internal battles, societal pressures, and the sometimes paralyzing feelings of anxiety and self-doubt.
Lead singer Peggy, known for her introspective lyrics, has infused her own experiences with mental health into the track, making it both relatable and offering a sense of hope for anyone going through a dark period.
The band blends their signature hard rock riffs with modern metal elements, creating a sound that’s both intense and emotionally charged.
The chorus of ‘Impact‘ is an unforgettable earworm, while the pounding drums and raw vocals drive home a powerful message:
“It may be tough, but you’re not alone.”
With this release, Queen of Spades hopes to not only to connect with hard rock fans but also contribute to the ongoing conversation about mental health.
‘Impact‘ is more than just a song;
it’s a battle cry for anyone who has ever felt lost—a reminder that it’s okay to not be okay, and that there’s always a path to recovery.
Their high-energy music video for ‘Impact‘ is nothing short of electrifying.
Packed with raw power, intense riffs, and the same fire they bring to every stage, the band pours their heart and soul into this anthem about never giving up and battling through mental struggles.
This is more than just a song — it’s a reminder to never back down.
Queen of Spades is a hard rock band that takes the genre to new heights with an explosion of energy, technical virtuosity, and undeniable passion.
With their unique sound—a powerful blend of classic rock influences and modern metal sharpness—the band consistently conquers audiences everywhere.
Known for their captivating live performances, Queen of Spades not only showcases their musical talents but also delivers the energy and intensity that makes hard rock so irresistible.
From epic ballads to gritty, straight-up rock anthems.
From thunderous guitar riffs to a driving rhythm section, powerful and deep lyrics and vocals that send chills down your spine, Queen of Spades has everything needed to make both longtime rock fans and new generations cheer.
The band is working on releasing a EP in 2025.
