Crashing Wayward have released the video for “Bullet For A Heart” today, and they did it the hard way. Filmed at SON Studios in Las Vegas with water pouring over the entire band on a freezing cold night, two days before a Pacific Northwest tour, the clip captures the raw energy the song demands. It’s out now via Golden Robot Records.
“Bullet For A Heart” is a reworked version of a previously released track, rebuilt from the ground up with guitarist David Harris adding meatier guitar parts and producer Shawn McGhee (Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Strung Out) sharpening the mix. Mastering was handled by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound. The result hits harder and closer to what the band originally heard when Peter Summit, Harris, and Carl Raether first wrote it together at Summit’s house.
Lyrically, the song pulls no punches. Summit wrote it in response to a high-profile public figure pushing hate rhetoric, with the central message landing clearly: words are weapons, and accountability matters. “I wanted to make the ‘Bullet’ represent something for good,” he says, “like it says in the first line of the song, ‘Feed the love, with the bullets full of heart.'” The track is urgent, melodic, and built for a room that wants to move.
“Bullet For A Heart” will appear on ‘The Fight Within’, a six-song EP due in Q3 2026 via Golden Robot Records. The EP also includes previous single “Holding For Dear Life,” which Classic Rock magazine called “a tight, groovy beefcake of a song that manages to be fiery, introspective and energizing at once.” Crashing Wayward, comprising Peter Summit on vocals, David Harris and Tucker Jones on guitars, Carl Raether on bass, and Jon Gunder on drums, formed in 2020 and have been building steadily ever since, with their debut album ‘LISTEN!’ produced by Mike Gillies (Metallica, The Cult).
