Marking the final step before the release of their new album “X“, out the same day via Rockshots Records, Secret Rule return with “Collapse”, a high-energy, hard-hitting modern metal anthem that blends unstoppable grooves with a sharp message about a world on the brink.
Driven by Angela Di Vincenzo’s fierce vocal performance and Andy Menario’s razor-edged production, “Collapse” captures the tension between chaos and resilience, translating global turmoil into pure musical adrenaline. The track is released together with a striking official video, perfectly reflecting the song’s urgency and visual intensity.
Angela comments:
“It’s the kind of song that gets your body moving while your mind wakes up. The energy is pure fire, but underneath, it’s a wake-up call about the world we’re losing.”
Andy adds:
“With ‘Collapse’ I wanted a sound that could hit hard in a live show — something you feel in your chest. It’s aggressive, melodic and super jumpy… a real crowd-mover.”
“Collapse” follows the recent singles “Just a Sacrifice”, “Echoes of the Earth”, “In the Silence”, and “Silent Pain” — each exploring different emotional and existential layers of “X“, an album that celebrates the band’s tenth anniversary with a renewed modern edge and fearless experimentation. The record also features a special collaboration with Marco Pastorino (Temperance) on the track “Lost In Paradise”.
Self-produced by guitarist Andy Menario and frontwoman Angela Di Vincenzo, “X” combines symphonic power, electronic textures and metalcore-inspired breakdowns into a cohesive and vibrant sound that redefines Secret Rule’s identity for a new decade.
For fans of Amaranthe and Within Temptation, “X” is an album that bridges melody and power — and “Collapse” is its explosive warning shot.
