“Strike Back” is a tune that immediately makes you want to make a deeper emotional connection. Setting its scene in an alternative rock/symphonic metal world, the track radiates an unstoppable energy, revealing the blood and sweat behind all that shining. Inspired by KOBURG’s own struggle with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Agoraphobia, “Strike Back” delves into hero’s origin—hard-earned mantle and restless battles.

Epic and full of strength, the latest single from KOBURG is packed with empowerment. Performed and written entirely by the artist, KOBURG is undoubtedly a multi talent who excels at both songwriting, instruments, and vocals. “Strike Back” features a pretty wicked guitar solo that bridges the world of rock and metal with soaring power. Hear it intertwined with her emotive voice—it’s a scene you don’t hear everyday.

“Strike Back” comes in five versions. “Twisted Version” is a grand opening with stadium-filling heat while exposing emotional vulnerability. The version is the most wrenching and epic among all five. It sets your heart on fire while taking you on a journey through darkness. KOBURG reminds you a warrior, who is determined and brave, who will fight her way through even the most dangerous forests.

It’s that energy that’s really liberating and moving. Every time you hear her sing, she lights a fire inside you. No, she’s not your white knight riding a horse to steal your thunder. She shows you that you are capable of greatness. “Strike Back” is the kind of song that inspires you to take control and strike back, not letting the obstacles to determine where your life is going to be. Everyone has the strength to be a warrior and savior.

The different versions of “Strike Back” highlights a unique aspect of the song. It really showcases the nuance and broad imagination of KOBURG’s songwriting. “Instrumental Version” gives you a “behind the scene” revelation, a closer look at the intricate orchestration of KOBURG’s sonic design. “Demo version” is punchy, drastic, and full of contrast, while “Fables Version” gives you an ethereal otherworldliness with epic strings and harmonies.
