Matt Heafy of
Trivium.
In 2019, they released their third studio album ''Overpower'' with songs such as "Savior" and "Taking Over Me".
The band commented about the departure of longtime drummer Raphael Altmann: “We started to work on the song when the global pandemic started and because of the circumstances the whole writing process was a little bit tricky. Who would have thought that the topic of „Apocalypse“ is even more real today than 2 years ago. We want to spread the message that we all have to take responsibility in our lives and our society and not just to point at others. Instead of waiting for something to happen or to look for a scapegoat we all should ask ourselves how we can be an active part of the solution and not be part of the problem. If we all stand together, we can make an impact and can actually change things as a union”
Leon Stiller was named the new drummer of Any Given Day. The band has released three new singles, ''Apocalypse'', ''Get That Done'' And ''Unbreakable''.
