Phoenix, Arizona-based alternative rock artist The Shadow Self has returned with their new single, “REBIRTH.” The Shadow Self is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and singer Nicholas Antonucci, who burst onto the scene in 2024 with his debut single, “APATHY (An Open Noose).” His latest release, “REBIRTH,” is a powerful track that blends elements of alternative rock, heavy metal, and hard rock. Piercing guitars, propelling bass, and earth-shattering drums immerse the listener in a rugged soundscape. Howling vocals rip through the instrumentation with a primal rage. Speaking on the song’s inspiration, Nicholas stated, “’At it’s core it is about a rediscovery of spirituality. It’s about the freedom one finds when they materialize and rationalize their reality into a way that speaks to their soul.” The Shadow Self’s new single, “REBIRTH,” is a transformational rock experience and the perfect addition to any metal playlist.
