“Risen” by Deflecting Ghosts is more than just another heavy rock release — it’s a call to awareness, wrapped in crushing guitars and fierce emotion. Set to drop on October 17, 2025, the track captures the feeling of living in a chaotic world that’s spinning out of control. It’s fast, intense, and packed with purpose. The song doesn’t just sound powerful — it means something.
Led by Luke Fitzgerald, who wrote, recorded, and produced the song at his home studio, Deflecting Ghosts have created something that feels raw and real. The guitars bite hard, the drums hit with precision, and the vocals carry both anger and conviction. Luke’s lyrics pull no punches — they question blind obedience and call out the darker side of society, forcing listeners to confront what’s happening around them. It’s not about preaching; it’s about opening eyes.
What makes “Risen” stand out is the emotion behind it. You can tell it was built from frustration but shaped into strength. Rhema’s deep, steady bass gives the track its backbone, while Austin’s drumming drives it forward with energy that doesn’t let up. The mix by Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe (from New Years Day) gives the song a polished yet gritty edge — the perfect balance between chaos and clarity. “Risen” is about survival and defiance. It’s that moment when you refuse to give up, even when everything’s burning around you. Heavy, honest, and fearless — Deflecting Ghosts have delivered a track that hits both the mind and the heart.
