Progressive metal project Freycus has released their new anthem "Justice Miscarried," featuring vocalist Pranati "Peekay" Khanna and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the song. Here is the story:
When we wrote "Justice Miscarried," it didn't come from a typical creative spark; it came from shared unease. We've all watched injustice unfold around us: systems that were supposed to protect instead silence, ignore, or destroy. It's something you feel, first as a quiet churn in your gut, and then, eventually, as a refusal to stay quiet. That refusal is the backbone of this song.
Working with Pranati "Peekay" Khanna brought that emotional core into sharper focus. Peekay came to the project with a perspective shaped by experiences spanning continents, from India to the U.S., watching different systems fail in subtly similar ways. As she said during our sessions, "I'm not interested in writing abstract anger; I'm writing about what genuinely terrifies me, a world where power protects itself, children die in the crossfire, and as a woman, I'm burning with rage and fear about the future we're inheriting."
That honesty changed how we approached every section of the song. So we built the track around contrast: controlled tension giving way to full-throttle releases, quiet dread morphing into vocal defiance. It had to feel like a lived experience, not a metaphor. Peekay's voice carries that contradiction, vulnerable one moment, searing the next, and our instrumentation mirrors that movement between uncertainty and confrontation.
"Justice Miscarried" isn't about pointing at one moment or one headline. It's about the psychological weight of watching justice distort, bend, and fail, and the collective impulse to respond. This song is our refusal to look away.
