Daughtry – announce new EP & release high octane new track ‘The Reckoning’

Daughtry have announced the release of their debut Big Machine Rock EP, Shock to the System (Part One) out on Sept 27^th and have shared a new track alongside the news.
 
The new song, ‘The Reckoning’, serves as a soundtrack for facing the final boss of your personal demons and is the lead cut from their forthcoming EP. The song rallies forces against fear to encourage listeners to take on the weight of the past fist-first.
 
Touching on themes of mental health, the ‘The Reckoning’ is amped up by deep synth, emulating the layers of pain one must claw through to come face to face with the future they’ve always dreamed of.

“’The Reckoning’ is about that moment in life when you realise that you are in control of your own destiny,” frontman Chris Daughtry explains. “It’s about that moment you decide to take responsibility for the person you want to be and the choices you have to make to become that version of yourself – the day you understand that you are no longer a victim of circumstance, rather the creator of your own experience.”
 

The high-octane track continues to usher in a fine-tuned and razor-sharp new era for the group, as they begin the rollout for their forthcoming EP. ‘The Reckoning’ will join previous releases, ‘Nervous’, ‘Pieces’, and ‘Artificial’, on the new record, the latter of which earned the band their first No. 1 at Active Rock and first No. 1 single in 15 years.
