Having already reinforced the righteousness of their upcoming To Your Death record with three rail-jumping singles, Christian Mistress shifts their signature NWOBHM sound down a few notches on “Ultimate Freedom.” As heard in the #selftitledpremiere below, the power ballad starts off slow and quickly eases into a wildly expressive sea of scorched riffs, lofty vocals, and steadfast rhythms. Here’s what singer Christine Davis had to say about it:
“Ultimate Freedom” is my favorite song on the record because I believe it turned out the most accurate to how my voice sounds live. Also, its whole vibe was based on lyrics I wrote for an acoustic guitar song. The concept translated well to the parts that [guitarist] Oscar [Sparbel] wrote and the song became this great beast of beauty with our combined inertia.
