A Rock Wake-Up Call From Stephen Wicks
“The Doomsday Clock (85 Seconds to Midnight)” presents Stephen Wicks at his most urgent. The forthcoming single transforms the famous Doomsday Clock into a dramatic piece of rock storytelling.
The song’s subject matter is rooted in global unease. It addresses the possibility of human self-destruction through references to climate change, nuclear escalation, artificial intelligence and geopolitical instability.
Wicks brings an unusual background to the project. Before turning his focus to music, he spent decades as a corporate executive and property entrepreneur, experiences that now inform the discipline and directness of his songwriting.
Producer George Shilling has described the music as “a wake-up call set to music.” With Stefan Hauk on lead guitar and an official video planned, the single is positioned as a serious artistic statement from an artist determined to be heard.
