Inimical Drive, the quickly rising heavy rock/metal group from the heart of St. Louis, has set the stage ablaze with the latest single, "Victim." This incendiary single was co-written, produced, and mixed by Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz of the acclaimed band Bad Wolves. On the heels of their 2023 Inimical Drive EP ‘From Solitude,’ "Victim" marks a powerful return for the band in 2024.

 "Victim" isn't just a song; it's a phoenix rising from the ashes of adversity, a roaring testament to the unbreakable human will. Vocalist Joel Colby channels his own trials, failures, and successes into the song’s lyrics, drawing from his vulnerability and resilience, which flow through every person who refuses to be defined by their struggles. Colby speaks further about the song- "I have been inspired by so many people around me who have faced adversity and choose to overcome rather than succumb to victimhood." Through its stirring lyrics and powerful melodies, "Victim" is a rallying cry for those navigating life's challenges.

With a juggernaut momentum that's captured new fans nationwide, Inimical Drive continues to impress with every live show, sharing the stage with notable groups such as Bad Wolves, For the Fallen Dreams, The Funeral Portrait, and Otep. Their journey, fueled by the raw energy of their music, has carved a path through the hearts of fans, uniting them in a familiar rhythm of defiance, empowerment, and hope.

Looking ahead, Inimical Drive is set to venture back into the studio, fueled by the energy of "Victim" and driven by a shared vision for their busiest years ahead. With an unwavering commitment to their craft and an unyielding passion for their art, Inimical Drive promises an exhilarating journey for fans, old and new. Listeners should brace themselves—the brightest days for Inimical Drive are yet to come.

Bad Wolves’ cover of The Cranberries’ inter-generational hit single "Zombie" continues to dominate rock and metal charts around the globe, with all proceeds from track donated to lead singer Dolores O’Riordan’s three children.

Now, the band reveals the official "Zombie" music video, directed by Wayne Isham [Avenged Sevenfold, Megadeth, Motley Crue]. It’s a powerful testament to the Cranberries’ singer, who was set to record with the band on the day of her tragic passing. The new video features an unreachable woman fully-realized in O’Riordan’s iconic gold from the original "Zombie" video. Throughout the clip, she and frontman Tommy Vext try to touch each other but cannot. She leaves golden handprints with each attempt to touch.

In an exclusive statement, O’Riordan’s UK Publicist Lindsey Holmes, provided further insight into what the Irish singer thought of Bad Wolves’ version of the track: "Dolores was excited about plans to guest vocal on a cover version of her all time classic "Zombie" by American rock band Bad Wolves. Although very different in style to the original, Dolores said she thought that the cover "was killer" and she was intrigued by the simple but effective couple of lyric changes that make the cover version as relevant to current world events as the original was to the events that inspired her to write the song in the early nineties."

"For me Dolores was the strongest female voice in Rock for the past three decades," explains Dan Waite, Managing Director Europe for Eleven Seven Label Group and the artist’s personal friend. "I have very bittersweet feelings about the last two voice messages Dolores left me on the day she passed about recording "Zombie" with Bad Wolves. She was telling me Bad Wolves version was "awesome" and she could not wait to get into the studio, however ultimately her voicemails have brought comfort to her Mother Eileen and her family as they heard her messages joking and talking passionately about music, her children, and future plans.

Her plans were cut short far too soon but the relevance of "Zombie" and the legacy of her music continues to span generations. Bad Wolves’ Tommy Vext explains what compelled him to cover the song; "Her lyrics, confronting the collateral damage of political unrest, capture the same sentiment we wanted to express a quarter-century later. That is a testament to the kind of enduring artist Dolores was, and will remain forever."

Originally released in 1994 following the IRA bombing of Warrington, The Cranberries’ "Zombie" hit #1 across the globe, including on the Billboard Alternative Songs charts. The song returned to the top ten on the US Rock Charts shortly after news of her passing was announced. That same week Bad Wolves released their version of "Zombie" in her honor. In just four weeks, the cover has garnered over 3 Million combined streams (across YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music) and continues to climb the charts. Bad Wolves "Zombie" is currently Top-20 at U.S. Rock Radio and sits atop rock and metal iTunes charts around the world.

Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan was set to record vocals for hard rock band Bad Wolves’ cover of "Zombie" this past Monday, January 15th, the day of her tragic passing. Today the band release their version of "Zombie" in her memory, with proceeds going to O’Riordan’s three children.

"It was the greatest honor to know she liked our version and wanted to sing on it," says Bad Wolves singer Tommy Vext. "We’re deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Dolores and by the fact that she’s leaving behind three children so we are donating the proceeds from the song to her kids."

"It’s such a powerful song and the themes are still so relevant, we wanted to release it in her memory,” he continues. “The original lyrics include the line ‘It’s the same old theme Since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head, they’re still fighting’. It’s a reference to the IRA bombings during the Irish Rebellion. We changed that lyric to say ‘2018’ and she was really excited about that because the nations may have changed but we’re still fighting the same battles today. Humanity is still fighting to assert itself despite all the conflicts."

Vext further discusses the decision to release The Cranberries’ generation-defining song in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone found HERE.
