The lyrics were motivated by the war between Ukraine and Russia, but also apply to the conflict between Palestine and Israel.
After presenting “Never Too Late”, the first single after the album “One Ocean” (2020), Area 55, created in Los Angeles (USA) by Brazilian musicians Julio Federici (vocals, ex-King of Bones), Mika Jaxx (guitar, ex-Sioux 66 and React), Gui Bodi (bass, Disciples of Babylon and Artur Menezes) and Boll3t (drums, ex-Aboleth and Hecatombe), releases “Unbreakable”.
The new single, with a cover by Gustavo Sazes, was produced by the band, with mixing, mastering and reamp by Brendan Duffey, in addition to audio engineering in capturing the vocals by Adriano Daga. “The production of ‘Unbreakable’ was truly unique, as we decided to try an alternative tuning for the first time. Exploring this approach allowed us to uncover new nuances of the band’s identity, expanding our musical horizons”, details drummer Boll3t. “During this process, and because of the new possibilities, we were able to delve into a variety of synthesizer tones and effects, at the same time as we managed to make the drum sound denser, deeper and more serious. I think this song will mark a new phase in Area 55’s trajectory, as it opened new paths for us to explore our creativity.”
Focusing on weight, the lyrics of “Unbreakable” were motivated by the war between Ukraine and Russia, but also apply to the conflict between Palestine and Israel. “This song is one of the heaviest we’ve ever written, both musically and lyrically: war. At the time, the lyrics were motivated by the recent war between Ukraine and Russia, and it saddens us greatly that it also applies to the recent war between Palestine and Israel”, reveals bassist Gui Bodi. “As in all wars, the true heroes and heroines are all the survivors affected by them, who have no say over the geopolitical and economic decisions of the countries involved, simply fighting for their freedom and their right to life”, he adds.
