*trigger warning* It's been a long time coming ⌚ but its FINALLY HERE! I’m beyond excited to finally share my passion project with you—"Sabotage"! 🎸🤘 This alt-metal/metalcore track is inspired by my love for Avenged Sevenfold and my personal journey with metal. It’s raw, intense, and a reflection of my frustration with today’s obsession with clout-chasing and the shallow trends dominating the music industry. 🎶 This song has been a long time in the making—a true labor of love produced entirely at home during the pandemic. I’m so grateful to the amazing team who helped bring this to life: 🎤 Written, Produced, and Composed by Jacob Koopman 🥁 Drummer: CLASSIFIED (👀 Stay tuned...) 🎸 Insane Solos by Rafael Zaccarias 🎵 Rhythm Guitars in Video by Gary Conroy 🎧 Mixed and Mastered by Matt Redmond 🎥 Music Video by Adam (Tsunami Studios) 🎨 Artwork by Shafira 🎤 Not so secret backing vocals: Clayerhack❤️ 🔥 "Sabotage" is more than just music—it’s an experience. I want you to feel the energy, frustration, and reflection that fueled this track. Turn it up, headbang, and let me know how it hits you! 💥🤘 🎥 Music Video Out Now—LET’S GO!!! 🚀💀 LYRICS: Hey! I'm right behind you Tryna keep up like I am your shadow Wanted to be you, But I'm turning into A megalomaniac—I'll bring you down with me. I keep on beating myself up, The constant pain, half-empty cups. But will it gradually get better When I cut my face and sell my soul? My integrity: throw it out the door... "Will people notice me then?" I regret nothing, just wanna be something. I will drive myself insane If you don’t praise my name. Can’t you see? I'm more than you can perceive, But truth will sabotage my fantasy. I know they’re judging in silence, But they don’t know What’s going through my head—it’s F***kin killing me. I keep on beating myself up, The constant pain, half-empty cups. But will it gradually get better When I cut my face and sell my soul? Will I gain control? Have I gone too far down the rabbit hole? Behind the black mirrors is the face of humanity, On the brink of extinction, an electrical society With a digital addiction, for a life of fiction. I am not the one that draws the line Of what is right or wrong—I'll keep it in my mind. I still have many demons to overcome, And I am certain that I've crossed the lines for some. It's not my intention to offend anyone; I just wanna be accepted for who I am. But what am I? I'm a product of my subconscious, Affected by what you fed me. They’re judging in silence, you’re judging in silence! They’re judging in silence, you’re judging in silence!
