Alex da Costa (vocals) says of the new track:
“‘Frenzy’ is a story of mankind. It is the failure of perception – blind mass obedience.
In the face of adversity, people distrust their own judgement. They become sheep, mimic the noise and kneel before the media, the authorities and their fear itself. Pressure to follow others outweighs the instinct to question what they see and hear. Irrational responses are justified only because everyone else is doing the same. To follow blindly is to disappear – or, in other words, to ‘Sail Away’.”

BLOODSTOCK – ROUND TWO, BUT BIGGER
The single gets its baptism of fire when Lock Horns hit Bloodstock Open Air’s Sophie Lancaster Stage on Friday 8 August 2025, sharing the bill with Kataklysm, Nailbomb and more.
It marks the band’s graduation from the festival’s Metal 2 The Masses scheme, where they first caught the ear of Bloodstock’s talent-scout and booking agent, Simon Hall.
“Yet another precision driven assault to the senses. Lock Horns go from strength to strength with their unique, diverse progressive offering and I look forward to welcoming them to Bloodstock this year” – Simon Hall.
On returning to Bloodstock the band says;
“This August we return to Bloodstock, now on the larger Sophie Lancaster Stage. We’re bringing bigger energy, new music and a fiercer live performance. Huge thanks to Simon Hall and James Loveday – they’ve championed us since the Metal 2 The Masses days. We’ve shed blood, sweat and tears in preparation, and we’ll unleash the results in August.”
