Following up Beltfed Weapon‘s 2023 All-Star EP release, Darkened Demise, Frank Hetzel is back with new single “Tortured Within” – with previous collaborators Kragen Lum and Bryan Newbury, plus, this time, bringing Metal luminaries Stu Block and Mike LePond into the mix.
Frank Hetzel explains “‘Tortured Within’ is about a person battling a war within themselves, such as addiction, and the struggle to get out of the cycle and back on track to a positive direction. Working with Stu and Mike was an awesome experience. Both are consummate professionals, and of course Kragen and Bryan deliver, as usual, on all levels as well. I could not be happier with how this song turned out.
Mike LePond says “Frank has some seriously vicious riffs with an almost machine-like right hand. His music is very different from Symphony X, so it was a challenge from the start. The more I listened and practiced, the more I appreciated his metal artistry.”
Stu Block adds“It was fun working with Frank on this tune. Frank is a very talented musician and awesome guy!”
