Cody Perez (Amerakin Overdose) Announces Solo Project, Releases First Single "Open Eyes"

Cody Perez, vocalist for Amerakin Overdose, has announced that he will be starting a solo project, and he’s brought forth the first piece of new music, “Open Eyes”. In a press release announcing the project, Perez stated the following:

“I have always wanted to put out music that people had not heard from me and had a different feel than Amerakin Overdose. Right before the lockdowns happened in 2020, I was writing and recording a ton of music from home and when everything shut down, I had nothing but time on my hands to spend countless amounts of hours writing and recording music. I even started watching YouTube videos on music theory and song structure. I learned pieces here and there and applied what I was learning to my song writing. Before I know it, I had 30+ songs.”

In regards to the meaning behind “Open Eyes”, Perez continued:

“This song is about being in a very dark place both in my head and the world around me,” he says. “It is about giving your all for someone or something and having it all crash. You lose hope and then suddenly you wake up, open your eyes and see the light at the end of the tunnel. I want this song to bring hope and inspire others who are feeling beat down to pick themselves back up and fight another day.”

The music video for “Open Eyes” was filmed in Portland, OR, with a lineup that includes former Amerakin Overdose/current Toxic Zombie members Starbie and Freeman and Jiva Sakti drummer Huwy Kilgora Williams.
