The Long Island, NY heavy metal lifers have announced a new self-titled album, <em>Restless Spirit<\/em>, arriving May 8, 2026 \u2014 and they&#8217;re kicking things off with a blistering first single, &#8220;The Burning Need.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As honest and unpretentious as heavy metal gets, <em>Restless Spirit<\/em> finds the band doubling down on what they do best: straightforward American metal with a stoner-rock edge, packed with massive riffs, scorching guitar tones, and hooks that hit hard and stick around.<\/p>\n<p>The album&#8217;s first advance single and accompanying music video, &#8220;The Burning Need,&#8221; perfectly captures that ethos. It&#8217;s a no-nonsense headbanger built on frying guitars and muscular grooves, setting the tone for what promises to be <strong>Restless Spirit<\/strong>&#8216;s most confident statement to date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With our first advance single, \u2018The Burning Need,&#8217; we present <strong>Restless Spirit<\/strong> at our most clear and focused,&#8221; vocalist and guitarist <strong>Paul Aloisio<\/strong> explains. &#8220;We took everything we learned from the last decade and put together a track that gets straight to the point while staying interesting and heavy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, the song digs deeper than sheer volume might suggest. &#8220;The lyrics revolve around the theme of resilience,&#8221; <strong>Aloisio<\/strong> adds, &#8220;and this song ranks among our most personal to date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That sense of clarity and purpose runs through the entire self-titled record. Drawing equally from classic American heavy metal and the grit of modern stoner rock, <strong>Restless Spirit<\/strong> sound locked in and unfiltered.
