Defiant six-piece nu-metal rockers SEETHING AKIRA announce their much-anticipated third album Nozomi releasing on November 11 is now available for pre-order from FiXT. The next track off the pre-order campaign is the album’s nu-metal, metalcore, ballad “Reason To Breathe.” The single is an introspective vision of how the birth of a child can be life changing. Featuring a passionate vocal performance from Seething Akira, alongside thoughtful and hopeful lyrics, the track takes on a far more serious vision for the band. Pulsing rhythms, and synthesizers that push a surreal atmosphere in the background, laced over heavy guitars, create a beautiful vision of a father pushing to higher heights and protecting his newborn daughter.
“Reason to Breathe is about how another human being arriving into another’s life can drastically change the course of their existence,” states Seething Akira. “The birth of a child, influencing the need to aim and achieve higher than ever before, providing the child with opportunities and hope for their own future.”
Nozomi features twelve supercharged tracks across a dynamic mix of metalcore, nu-metal, and hard rock soundscapes with thrashing guitars and brutal, melodic, and infectious vocal hooks. From the hard-hitting track “Punishment Instructions,” the nu-metal single “Internal Antagonist”, the rap/rock anthem “Something In The Water,” all the way to the more introspective metalcore single “Lost At Sea,” the album is an intense journey through the human condition and its response to hope.

Explosive. Bombastic. Defiant. Intense. Seething Akira continues to rock on with their gloriously turbulent nu-metal sound towards their next album, Nozomi. Hot off the editorial success of their last album Dysfunctional Wonderland and with recent appearances at the Heavy Music Awards 2022, TECH-FEST, the Hammerdown Festival, UK TechFest, Amplified Festival 2022, the Free Road to Derby event, an appearance at Apocalypse Summer Bash at Bristol, headlining at Southampton, and a recently featured single on the hit Meta Quest VR game Smash Drums with “The Fallen”. With the announcement that they are joining Confession Of A Traitor on selected dates for their UK tour, Seething Akira is not slowing down any time soon.
Seething Akira have developed a gloriously turbulent sound that is uniquely their own. Founded by vocalists Charlie Bowes and Kit Conrad, Seething Akira are a 6-piece electronic nu-core band hailing from the seafront city of Portsmouth, UK that have been tearing venues apart across Europe with their powerful fusion of genres since 2012.
The band’s first full-length album, Sleepy Skeletor, dropped in 2018 and made it clear that Seething Akira would be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. In late 2020, the band launched a series of new singles leading up to their second album, the highly anticipated Dysfunctional Wonderland. With the strength of the band’s music and their popularity with fans rocketing skyward, they connected with the electronic rock label FiXT and forged a partnership for their future releases.
Seething Akira has been featured on the Rock Hard Spotify editorial list, while their single “Firepower” landed on Kerrang Radio and Scuzz. “I Am The Devil” and “The Islander” were both featured on BBC Introducing, and “The Islander” premiered on Soundsphere Magazine.
At home and on the road, Seething Akira have also put their stamp on staple festivals such as Bloodstock, Victorious, Camden Rocks, and many more while touring with bands like The Qemists and The Algorithm.
Recently Seething Akira have been releasing new singles throughout 2022 for their next album while blazing a trail across Europe on tour.
