Long Beach, CA - Freezemachine are redefining what modern alternative rock can sound like. With their explosive new single “New Life,” the band delivers a fearless blend of Nu Metal, Post-Punk, and Shoegaze, channeling raw emotion into a sonic force that’s both crushing and cathartic.
Fronted by Jordan Schmidt, Freezemachine have built a reputation for turning pain into power. “New Life” captures that mission perfectly — an anthem about starting over when everything feels like it’s collapsing. Beneath the tidal wave of overdriven guitars and pounding drums lies something deeply melodic and vulnerable. The result is a sound that’s as emotional as it is electrifying.
From the opening riff, “New Life” commands attention. The song’s intricate layering and immersive reverb evoke the textures of Deftones and My Bloody Valentine, while maintaining a fiercely modern edge that feels entirely Freezemachine. Schmidt’s vocal performance — alternating between haunting melody and anthemic grit — carries the emotional weight of someone standing at the edge of transformation.
Behind the scenes, the band enlisted Grammy-nominated producer Drew Kapner (Twenty One Pilots, At The Drive-In) to bring their vision to life, achieving a precise balance between heaviness and clarity. The track was mastered by Mike Bozzi (Linkin Park, Kendrick Lamar), giving “New Life” its final, radio-ready punch without losing its underground spirit.
Lyrically, “New Life” is unflinchingly honest. Schmidt’s writing confronts mental health struggles — ADHD, anxiety, self-doubt — and transforms them into art that heals. Lines like “Architecture of a broken plan / Who’s not a broken man” cut straight to the core, while the refrain “’Cause it’s a brand new life” becomes both mantra and battle cry.
Freezemachine’s growing discography — including standout singles “Edge of a Knife,” “Thought You Knew,” “Give Up The Ghost,” and “It’s All Over” — has already established them as one of the most emotionally charged new acts in modern rock. With “New Life,” the band takes a definitive step forward, delivering a track that feels both personal and universal, brutal and beautiful.
