Phoenix Lake – Fractured Wings (Single)

by | Dec 25, 2023

Phoenix Lake are a melodic metal four-piece from Nottingham, United Kingdom and they have recently released their new single ‘Fractured Wings’.                                                                        

The band have had a busy year having released their debut EP ‘Beyond The Flames’, touring venues in the UK and performing at their first-ever festival opening The Sophie Lancaster Stage at Bloodstock Open Air Festival 2023 following a Planet Rock Radio competition.                

The track was produced by Tristan Hill at 7Hz Audio with Pete Rutcho (Parkway Drive and Falling In Reverse) taking care of the mixing and mastering.                                                                    
Drummer Joe Synnott musically pushes hard alongside Ash Wilson on guitar on the intro creating this ferocious anthemic sound.                                                                                                          
Lead vocalist Lana Phillis has such control and energy in her voice as she sings “I can’t stitch the wounds this time, My wings have been fractured so I can’t fly”.                                                        
The emotional lyrics (written by Lana) capture the inner turmoil of battling depression in a hauntingly beautiful and relatable way without being corny or preachy which I really appreciate and respect.                                                                                                                                        
The heavy bassline courtesy of Zak Smith helps to build the overall atmospheric tone that Phoenix Lake are becoming known for a deservedly so.                                                                             
In conclusion, I really like what Phoenix Lake have done with ‘Fractured Wings’ as they have really thought about every aspect of the song in great detail and this scribe is reminded of the track ‘I’m Not Afraid’ by Italian metal outfit Lacuna Coil from their 2009 album ‘Shallow Life’. Turn it up and keep an eye on Phoenix Life as they continue to rise
