It’s been a few years since Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire last stopped by — and this time, the stakes feel different.
This week, we dig into Villinous, a record that doesn’t just evolve the band’s sound, but reframes it — leaning hard into identity, perception, and what it really means to take back labels that were never meant to empower.
A big part of that conversation centers around the title track, featuring Maria Brink of In This Moment — and how her presence doesn’t just elevate the song, but adds a whole new layer of intensity and perspective to its message.
Across the album, you can hear the tension between individuality and expectation — how personal reflection collides with social media, pressure, and a world that rarely lets you slow down long enough to process any of it.
We also get into the band’s sonic shift — what changed, what didn’t, and how those choices show up in the music — along with a really honest look at balancing life as both an artist and a therapist, and how that dual perspective shapes the songs in a way you might not expect.
There’s a lot packed into this one — introspection, real-world perspective, and the kind of behind-the-scenes insight that gives these songs much more weight once you hear them.
