Chained Saint Unleashes New Single “1000 Tons”

Florida thrash metal newcomers Chained Saint are back in the limelight with their latest single, “1000 Tons.” This hard-hitting track marks their first release since the debut album Blindside, which was produced with a raw, analog touch by none other than Alice in Chains frontman William DuVall.

Rising Momentum for Chained Saint

The teen band has been riding a wave of success since their formation just three years ago. Their explosive track “Animosity” gained significant attention after being featured as the theme song in the WWE 2K24 DLC 4 trailer. Recently, they played at the renowned Welcome to Rockville festival in Florida and are set to perform at the Warped Tour’s 30th anniversary festival in Orlando this summer. Additionally, they have secured spots at Rocklahoma and Louder Than Life, further solidifying their presence in the metal scene.

The Sound of “1000 Tons”

“1000 Tons” opens with a gritty, low-slung riff and powerful gang shouts, encapsulating a fierce “us vs. them” mentality. The song dives deep into themes of resilience and overcoming adversity, reflecting the pressure that many face in life. The band describes the track as capturing the feeling of being weighed down by life’s challenges yet determined to rise above them.

Chained Saint on Their New Track

In their own words, Chained Saint explains, “‘1000 Tons’ is about the pressure we all feel in life at times. It’s about feeling the weight of that pressure or the feeling of being oppressed, whether it’s by certain people or life situations in general. It’s also about getting knocked down and getting back up and pushing forward with the attitude that nothing is stopping us from moving past that pressure.”

Musical Composition

The intensity of “1000 Tons” creates a palpable tension that only finds release in rapid double kick moments interspersed with melodic elements, making it a rollercoaster of emotions for listeners. The raw energy and powerful lyrics resonate deeply, encouraging fans to confront their own struggles.

Chained Saint, “1000 Tons” Lyrics

Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping us
Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping
Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping us
Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping

Hold me down stack the weight
Curse the will to create
Chained to the ground
Always hate discriminate
Full of smoke and mirrors
Tryna bring it all down

Tension spilling over
My spirit stands broken
1000 tons of pressure
Weighing on me

Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping us
Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping
Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping us
Yeah outa know by now that there’s no stopping

1,000 tons of pressure
Weighing on me

No stopping us
No stopping us
No stopping us

No stopping us
No stopping us
No stopping us
No stopping us

No stopping (No stopping)
No stopping (No stopping)
No stopping (No stopping)
No stopping (No stopping)
