Some words from the Film Director Peder Bergstrand:
"I was stoked to be able to work with Johnossi again on their new single ”Wrecking Ball”. Shooting a video safely in the middle of a pandemic isn’t the easiest, so we decided to keep the crew ultra-small and the idea based around animation. It was just me, John and Ossi, in their rehearsal space, filming against a green screen for an hour, keeping our distance at all times - and then I animated the footage to bits afterward by myself. The explosive track called for tons of color, and the lyrics called for destruction - so I animated sort of a lyric video, where we put a wrecking ball to the words in the song. And yeah, that hyper catchy cowbell in the chorus needed to get some focus as well, so of course I had to throw a cow in there, haha."
”Wrecking Ball" - we got a brand new single for you all! We recorded this one last year but decided to hold it as a release to kick off the summer festival season with a bang… Now the whole summer is corona fucked, but we still, of course, wanted to release the song for you all anyway. It’s a true Johnossi-riffparty-bomb!

LYRICS
Like a wrecking ball
There was a time when I would live a life in order
Stayed on the traveled road, but dreamt about the sea
Something came by, opened my mind, deleted the borders
And I saw the ministry of chaos and believed
I'm gonna ride this ride, take a swing at my town
Like a wrecking ball
And If I do this I'll be the king of my sound
Like a wrecking ball
And Imma go through, whatever I do
Like a wrecking ball
I'm gonna find my strength, put a hole in the sky
Like a wrecking ball
Yeah
Deep in my mind and heart I know I need to fall apart
And get up back again, get my head out of the sand
Something came by, opened my mind, deleted the borders
And I saw the ministry of chaos inside of me
I'm gonna ride this ride, take a swing at my town
Like a wrecking ball
And If I do this I'll be the king of my sound
Like a wrecking ball
Go through, whatever I do
Like a wrecking ball
Now that I found my strength,
I'm ready to fly
Like a wrecking ball
Yeah
Something came by, opened my mind, deleted the borders
A hole in the sky
I'm gonna ride this ride, take a swing at my town
Like a wrecking ball
And If I do this I'll be the king of my sound
Like a wrecking ball
And Imma go through, whatever I do
Like a wrecking ball
Now that I found my strength,
I'm ready to fly
Like a wrecking ball
Like a wrecking ball
Like a wrecking ball
