Some songs hit like a battle cry, others linger like a scar. « ROOT OF EVIL » by Since April does both tearing open the psyche with a cinematic soundscape worthy of a galactic tragedy. Inspired by the iconic Anakin vs. Obi-Wan showdown, the track reimagines the fall from grace as an internal war, fusing cinematic intensity with crushing instrumentals. Picture this: a dark, industrial wasteland (shot at Gaswerk Augsburg), with the band performing like they’re summoning demons mid-duel. Directed by Dominik Hupf, the video doesn’t just illustrate the song it bleeds it. The lyrics are a gut-punch dialogue between light and dark, a desperate plea against inner collapse. One line echoes like a final heartbeat: « I won’t abandon you until I break through ». And make no mistake, this isn’t just cosplay with chords. It’s a beautifully composed tragedy, a catharsis in power chords. You don’t just listen, you fall with it. Presented by Slash Music.

A new chapter for a band reborn
Forget the clichés, Since April doesn’t play by the usual rock rulebook. Ever since their rebirth in 2024, this Munich crew has been crafting a sound that feels both massive and meticulous. At the front, Johnny delivers vocals like a tightrope walk between rage and redemption. On guitars, Manu and Marin weave sharp riffs and soaring textures like two forces in constant dialogue. Add to that the relentless groove of Gonzo on bass and the explosive precision of Robert on drums, and you’ve got a lineup that hits hard and thinks deeper.
Next up? A massive double album release show with their friends Bad Rain at Strom, October 25, 2025. Since April isn’t slowing down, they’re evolving, exploding, and absolutely impossible to ignore. You’ll want to stay locked on Since April.
