https://MarinaV.com/symphony Award-winning singer/songwriter Marina V unveils her electrifying new single, “Symphony & Metal”, a powerful anthem blending orchestral grandeur and metal intensity. The track features an all-star lineup, including guitarist Bruce Kulick (KISS), bassist David Ellefson (Megadeth), and renowned composer Steve Horner (known for Bridgerton), with Marina’s husband and co-writer Nick Baker on drums.
A NOTE FROM MARINA:
I am beyond excited to release SYMPHONY & METAL! It is an honor to have incredible musicians and long-time friends on the recording, all of whom brought my vision to life. Thank you Steve, Bruce, David & Nick!
I feel that this song is a reflection of the timeless battle between our inner light and darkness, a message of resilience, and a call to never give up.
We are fragile, vulnerable, and beautiful (symphony) yet extremely adaptable, strong, and tough (metal). This duality resonates deeply with me, especially after experiencing life’s extremes in recent years—becoming a mom, losing my dad during the pandemic, and enduring the devastating effects of the war on my family in Russia and Ukraine. The lyric, ‘It doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, it only matters if you get back up,’ has been my daily mantra.
When recording ‘Symphony & Metal’, I knew we needed serious bombast and musical wizardry for the epic sound of the song. My co-writer/husband/drummer and I were fortunate to enlist long-time friends and extraordinary musicians Bruce Kulick (Kiss), David Ellefson (Megadeth), and Steve Horner (composer of film and tv, including credits on shows such as Bridgerton, etc).”
Thank you for listening!
Marina ❤
LYRICS
Time can numb the pain
But you won’t be whole again
You’ll never be whole again
All your dreams erased
You’ll never go home again
You’ll never be home
Never be home again
You think it’s over
And did you waste your time
On all the things you never tried
And you say
Get me out of here until I’m better
Slay the dragons, live another day
I am symphony and I am metal
Whatever happens, I will be okay
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I’ve been afraid
I live to fight another day
Fear can take you down
And you’ll never realize
You’ll never realize
You are here and now
No need to fantasize
Just believe your eyes
You think you’re crazy
Unlock those mental chains
and break the hell away
and don’t look back
It doesn’t matter
How many times you get knocked down
It only matters if you get back up
(music & lyrics by Marina Verenikina and Nick Baker)
