Spirit Leaves, hard rock band from Orlando, Florida, returns with “Sky On Fire,” their latest hard-hitting single set for release on November 15th via InVogue Records. Showcasing intense themes and an energetic atmosphere, the band dives deeper with this track, taking listeners on an introspective journey exploring ego, identity, and the emotional battles that ignite within.
With influences spanning hardcore and artful modern rock, Spirit Leaves has crafted “Sky On Fire” as an anthem for anyone feeling caught between who they are and who they want to be.

The new single captures an intense push-and-pull, grappling with the tension between one’s outward ego and inner self. Vocalist XZYLO reflects on these complexities, sharing, “This song is about ego vs. self. Ego being the part of you that can’t help but want to show off being the center of attention at all times, and how that show of force can lead to negative things. And oneself referring to more the mask behind the ego and what it really wants. This song tackles how I feel personally about these two things, and how I want it presented to others vs. how I feel about myself.”
“Sky On Fire” is a sonic wildfire, igniting with driving atmospheric guitar riffs at the breakdown, ambient vocals throughout, and relentless movements that embody both the grandeur and gravity of the themes. The intense yearning for liberation from self-imposed chains and acknowledging the familiar struggle of maintaining balance is evident lyrically throughout the track.
