Sydney-based alternative rock duo Cloud Cycle has returned with a thunderous new single, 'Waves of Hope', marking a dynamic shift in their already powerful sound. Brothers Johnny and Jeff Boyd, the creative force behind Cloud Cycle, have amplified the intensity, delivering a track that surges with faster tempos and heavier instrumentation, a testament to their growth and evolving musicality.
'Waves of Hope', forged across time and space, reflects the band's journey. "The chorus was written in our childhood home, and we wrote the first verse during a recording trip to South Australia," the brothers share. This layered creative process imbues the track with a sense of depth and authenticity, further enhanced by their commitment to their bedroom studio roots.
The new single is a sonic tidal wave, crashing with grunge-infused riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring vocals that speak to the band's nu-metal inspirations. "We grew up listening to grunge and nu-metal bands," they explain, citing Deftones, Nova Twins, and Ocean Grove as current influences. "We feel that there's a nu-metal revival happening, and we couldn't be more excited."
'Waves of Hope' retains Cloud Cycle's signature blend of complexity and integrity while pushing their sound into exhilarating new territory. It's a testament to their ability to evolve while remaining true to their core. This electrifying edge, combined with their previous acclaimed releases like Ahimsa, Polarity, and Phoenix Lights, solidifies their position as a band to watch in the alternative rock scene.
With accolades from Rolling Stone, Rock Sound (UK), and Metal Hammer (US), Cloud Cycle are riding a wave of momentum. 'Waves of Hope' is not just a new single, it's a declaration of their intent to push boundaries, evolve their sound, and ride the crest of the nu-metal revival. It's a sonic adventure that's sure to captivate both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
