After three years of silence, the legendary band Fear Not returns with a brand-new release – the EP titled Weight of the World. Five tracks that combine the weight of classic 80s/90s hard rock with modern production and a bold Christian message. This is not just another chapter in their career — it’s a powerful statement of faith and proof that the spirit of faith-driven rock is still alive. The EP was released on June 27, 2025 via Roxx Records and Resurrection Records.
Sound & Style
From the very first notes, Weight of the World hits the listener like a hammer. Heavy guitars and a thunderous rhythm section bring back the golden era of hard rock while sounding fresh and relevant thanks to modern production. Fear Not have always been known for their bold riffs and melodic hooks — and here they deliver at their very best. You can hear echoes of bands like Scorpions, Whitesnake or Stryper, but Fear Not add their own authentic mark.
The new material presents Fear Not in a rawer and more uncompromising form. The production highlights the weight of the guitars while giving space for emotional vocals filled with passion and honesty. This is music that can’t be ignored — each track resounds like a call to faith and action.
Lyrics & Message
Lyrics have always been the beating heart of Fear Not. On Weight of the World, the band addresses themes that touch everyone — personal struggles, battles with doubt, and the strength that comes from faith in Christ. The words are not just an addition to the music — they are a spiritual testimony carrying hope and reminding us that victory is possible even in the darkest times.
Each of the five tracks has its own character and story. The single “Crashin’ Down” is a direct strike that confronts darkness head-on, yet never leaves the listener without hope. The title track, “Weight of the World”, reflects on the burden we all carry — and points to true freedom in God.
