Words by Anselm Anderson
Rock superstars Fozzy has announced the release of their latest single "Spotlight" released via Maddison Records/The Orchard.
Produced by Three Days Grace and Halestorm Producer Johnny Andrews and mixed by Jacob Hansen, Originally an Ozzy Osbourne covers band, "Spotlight" is a throwback to the metal roots the band built their reputation on. Furthermore, This track reminds me of the earliest Ozzy albums with punchy riffs and an addictive chorus. This is certainly the heaviest Fozzy track since the popular "Judas" graced AEW arenas from around the globe.
A whispered monologue opens this track exclaiming "I am the light of the truth, the one who sees right through. I know your every move. I got my eye on you-Spotlight!". The song segues into a pulsating riff, layered with smooth basslines and well-timed drumming patterns. The song builds to a bridge/chorus with multi-layered vocals. Chris Jericho's distorted vocals juxtapose with his natural screams over a steady rhythm, before a scintillating solo over tinkering keys wraps up this outing for "Le Champion".
The band built their fanbase with support slots to luminaries like Metallica, Iron Maiden and Kiss, but it wasn't until Jericho joined AEW. The band achieved their biggest success with "Judas". The track has amassed over 6o million plays online and was performed at Wembley Stadium at the recent AEW, All-In wrestling event before Jericho faced England's Will Ospreay in a wrestling bout.
Fozzy is led by AEW wrestler Chris Jericho, Guitar wizard Rich Ward, drummer Grant Brooks, bassist PJ Farley, and Billy Grey on lead guitar.
Overall, Fozzy marks an interesting turning point for the band in the evolution to a metal band again.
