Åskväder “Aim High” With New Single

Gothenburg’s Åskväder have returned with Aim High, the third single from their forthcoming album, Wax, that is due out on October 2nd via Icons Creating Evil Art. Following Farewell and Salt, Aim High pushes further into the sound of the new Åskväder: thunderous riffs, infectious melodies and classic hard rock muscle delivered with the urgency and energy that have always been at the heart of the band. More than simply another step towards the album, 

Aim High is one of the songs that best captures what Wax has become. Aim High turns its attention towards ambition, deception and self-interest, to people who keep climbing regardless of what or whom they leave behind. Its recurring “great white lie” and “eye for an eye” frame a world where conviction can become a convenient disguise and success comes with an increasingly uncomfortable price tag.

“It’s a defining track that sums up a lot of what the album is about, and one that’s worth listening to more than once. As ICEA keeps telling us, it’s a grower.”
