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.”
The track is accompanied by a music video created by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films. It’s set to premiere later on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.
Said Chloe of the clip: “Life still thrives if we let it be free, the beauty of the endless ocean, the giant cliffs, the fresh breeze versus the world of broken screens and the destroyed environment.”
Regarding her upcoming Rebirth EP, Chloe remarked that the four-song release was compiled from “hundreds of songs waiting to be properly recorded.” The Paris-born, L.A.-based artist already has a handful of full-length albums to her name, 2023’s Spellbook being the most recent.
“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.”
