"Chloe Trujillo, the wife of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, has released "As the Sky Is Falling Down" - the lead single from her forthcoming Rebirth EP, out in early 2026. Like her husband, Chloe also dabbles in a heavy sound. Here, she evokes a power-metal level of grandeur via her operatic vocals and surges of gained-up guitars and cacophonous percussion, while the spoken-word bit in the bridge wouldn't be out of place in an Iron Maiden song. The four-and-a-half minute track and EP were produced by Jake Carmona."
""The song is about spiritual transformation through chaos," Chloe said in a press release. "It discusses the fall of material illusions and reveals a deeper truth. There's a saying, 'True liberation is not in escaping chaos, but in no longer being disturbed by it.' I wasn't allowing the craziness of the world to affect me. Instead, I was creating a lot of art and music.""
""I've done all kinds of music, but Jake and I really leaned into metal and hard rock," she said of the new EP. "He brought in some great ideas, and we gave it a vibe. We played around with my vocals, balancing the screaming, the ad-libs, and the soulful harmonies. I was able to convey the message I wanted to convey.""
Chloe Trujillo released "As the Sky Is Falling Down," the lead single from the forthcoming Rebirth EP scheduled for early 2026. The track channels power-metal grandeur with operatic vocals, ramped-up guitars, and cacophonous percussion, and it features a spoken-word bridge with Iron Maiden-like intensity. The four-and-a-half-minute song and the EP were produced by Jake Carmona. The song focuses on spiritual transformation through chaos, describing the fall of material illusions and a form of liberation that comes from no longer being disturbed. A music video by Vicente Cordero contrasts oceanic and cliff imagery with broken screens and environmental destruction. The four-song EP was compiled from hundreds of unreleased songs.
