Holy Wars Share New Single ‘Metamorphosis’
Los Angeles-based rock band Holy Wars have unveiled their haunting new single “Metamorphosis.”
Written after the loss of vocalist Kat Leon’s parents and sister, the song “is about bringing closure to the shadow self and surrendering,” says Leon. “It’s about allowing yourself to heal so the light can come in.”
She dives into the song further with Kerrang! saying:
“Last year, my sister passed away, and that was on the heels of my parents passing away. I was looking at my life as the last surviving member of my immediate family and I was really in a precious state where I was just contemplating giving up music. I’m starting to wonder, ‘Should I crawl into a hole and just remove myself from society? Because seriously, the universe is telling me something.’
I was thinking about metamorphosis and one life dying for another, and how I was connected to them as their daughter and sister. I have videos and I have photographs, but I don’t have them to remind me of who I was and the person I’ve become because of them. It’s so painful, but then maybe there is something more hopeful, and that hope has been the thing that has kept me going.”
Stream the song below. “Metamorphosis” follows previously released singles “Crucify” and “I Feel Everything.”
Holy Wars will set sail on the ShipRocked cruise alongside Halestorm, Motionless In White, Knocked Loose, and Kittie. Get more details here.
