Listening to EVA UNDER FIRE is quite literally hard rock therapy, turning scars and demons into anthems of inner strength. As a licensed therapist and singer-songwriter, Amanda Lyberg blends emotional insight with powerful songwriting, delivering lyrics and performances that connect deeply and hit listeners right in the feels.

The Detroit quintet announces the July 10 release of its new album VILLAINOUS via Better Noise Music. It follows their 2022-released debut,Love, Drugs & Misery. Pre-order it here.

To herald the news, Eva Under Fire have also shared the video for the title track and first radio single, both of which feature In This Moment's Maria Brink.

Listen to the song here. Watch the video below:

The track is laced with crunchy industrial elements that defined late '90s and early '00s-era rock, but Eva Under Fire add a modern punch with the dual-female vocal interplay between Lyberg and Brink.

"They thought I would always be compliant, but they pushed me too far," declares a defiant Lyberg about the song's deeper meaning. "I make my own rules now. Standing up for myself, owning my truth leaves me looking like a villain to those I have left behind."

Regarding the collaboration with Brink, Lyberg enthuses, "I've been a Maria Brink fan for years so this is a full-circle moment! Her vocal on this track gives it the energy it needed. I honestly can't think of a better feature given the song's message. Two fierce women's voices on a hard rock song about taking your power back? A match made in villainy for sure."

Brink weighs in, as well, saying, "I am excited to be a part of the new Eva Under Fire track 'Villainous.' When I first heard the song and saw the video, I knew right away I wanted to be involved. I can't wait for everyone to experience both the music and the visuals."

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month (May), and in honor of the themes explored on Eva Under Fire's new album, the band has added a "DONATE" button to the "Villainous" video released today. By clicking the button, fans can directly donate to To Write Love On Her Arms — a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and invest directly into treatment and recovery.

"I'm excited to give back to an awesome organization actually doing the work," Lyberg offers about the decision to partner with To Write Love On Her Arms. "TWLOHA describes themselves as a non-profit dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, and self-injury. Those are the same demons being fought in the 'Villainous' music video so it's honestly a perfect fit." This fundraiser will be active through the end of May.

2026 will find Eva Under Fire on tour for most of the year so opportunities to see the band command the stage will be plentiful. The band spent the winter laying waste to venues alongside Jeris Johnson and Butcher Babies. They will return to the road this summer, serving as support for Five Finger Death Punch's 20th Anniversary World Tour 2026.

EVA UNDER FIRE DROP "MURDER SCENE," A RALLYING CRY FOR THE BETRAYED RELEASED VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC.

BAND INVITES THE BETRAYED TO SING IN UNISON AND POWER WITH THEM ON UPCOMING U.S. TOUR WITH JERIS JOHNSON + BUTCHER BABIES LAUNCHING FEBRUARY 8

Listening to EVA UNDER FIRE (@evaunderfire) is like hard rock therapy, turning scars and demons into anthems of inner strength. Nowhere is that clearer than on the Detroit band's latest single, the sonically fierce and lyrically razor-sharp "Murder Scene," via Better Noise Music.

Stream + download "Murder Scene" HERE.

Watch the lyric video for "Murder Scene" Below.

"'Murder Scene' explores eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-doubt, and how dreams can become nightmares when the same people who once cheered for you are now criticizing you," says singer and songwriter Amanda Lyberg. "The dream of being on stage comes with a spotlight on my personal flaws. I'm just a body. To be picked apart and judged and perceived. Anxiety is a liar in my head. It tells me I'm not good enough to be here. So, I fight it. I changed my name and my image to prove it wrong. Still the anxiety gets louder. I think it's trying to kill me. In a world so desensitized, it feels like death has been redefined as a minor inconvenience. I'm insecure about my body so anxiety might win. My skin is crawling, and every part of my body feels wrong. Maybe I'll call a doctor and get it altered. Maybe if I don't eat, I'll feel better."

"Murder Scene" is the follow-up to the blistering and inspirational anthem "Awakening," released October 17 via Better Noise Music. It was the first taste of new music in two years from the Detroit, MI quintet.

For all of EVA UNDER FIRE's new music, Amanda drew on her career as a licensed therapist to foster an open dialogue among the band members, empowering everyone to be heard during the recording. Her work in therapy started in 2018 when she graduated with a Master of Arts in Psychology degree and went on to work at a mental health clinic in Detroit, Transcendence Behavioral Health (owned by Dr. Stephanie Williams). That same year, her father passed away due to a fentanyl overdose. Her mother survived the same batch that killed her father and has been sober for the past six years. In addition to her thriving and busy music career, Amanda is currently a practicing psychotherapist specializing in trauma work, grief and loss, and addiction recovery.

Her story turned into a 2023 short film, My Rockstar, which used EVA UNDER FIRE music throughout, and has won over 20 awards in several film fests including Orlando Film Fest, Wild Rivers Film Festival, Toronto WILDfilm Festival, and many others.

In touring news, EVA UNDER FIRE will hit the road for a six-week U.S. tour with Jeris Johnson and Butcher Babies starting February 8 in Portland, OR. Later this summer, EVA UNDER FIRE has been announced as a support act tour along with Cody Jinks for Five Finger Death Punch’s 20th Anniversary World Tour 2026.
