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), presents their new single, “Time Has Come“, available on streaming platforms. With a cover by Nestor Rosales, the single 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. “Time Has Come” speaks of inner confrontation. “When I wrote the lyrics, I was going through a very complicated moment, it seemed like the world was conspiring against me, but I’m not one to give up and accept easily”, commented Julio Federici, who had the artistic intention of conveying the message to the public, as many go through the same situation. “We need to face obstacles and draw strength from nothing, even if you no longer have strength, but without ceasing to be yourself. The past is gone, ‘the time has come’ (‘Time Has Come’) to react. It’s one of my favorites, both in terms of message and music. The melodies are strong and very deep, which makes this composition special.”
Drummer Boll3t points out that “Time Has Come” was an interesting song to write. “It’s heavy, rhythmic and, for these reasons, we had a lot of space to work on the arrangements. When I started writing the drum lines, I wanted to go outside the box. I explored the electronic aspect a lot, giving space and dynamics to the riff and the melody, always seeking to increase the impact of the chorus. I wanted it to be that ‘explosion’ when the band came in, and this variation in dynamics makes ‘Time Has Come’ one of my favorite songs on the album. The melody that Júlio created is very catchy. Mika played two beautiful solos, Gui’s bass line makes it all harmonize and the music pulsates.”
The band also plans to release the lyric video for “Unbreakable” and two more singles, one of which has a music video. “All these singles are part of the new album, which will be released at the beginning of the second semester. We will soon reveal the title and cover art”, concluded Mika Jaxx.
