Wollongong’s alternative metal/noise rock three-piece Major Arcana, made up of Michael Jedrasiak, Dom Bouletare and Kelsey Backhouse, return with ‘Reset’, a fierce and focused new single that deepens their reputation for raw, emotionally charged songwriting.
Sung from the perspective of a battle-hungry narrator, ‘Reset’ isn’t a war song in the traditional sense. It’s a look at the everyday conflicts we carry within ourselves and with others. It’s a portrait of ego, frustration, and the kind of relentless drive that pushes someone to the edge. Beneath the aggression lies a deeper tension: a confrontation not just with others, but with one’s own breaking point.
The song’s final lines land like a gut punch, open to interpretation as either a defiant cry or a bitter, ironic commentary on the futility of conflict. That ambiguity is part of what makes ‘Reset’ hit so hard. It doesn’t offer answers, just raw perspective.
With jagged riffs, unrelenting energy and a stripped-back production style, ‘Reset’ is a potent addition to Major Arcana’s catalogue and another reminder that they’re not here to play it safe.
‘Reset’ is out now on all major streaming platforms.
