HOLY WARS have today unveiled their latest sonic assault via their brand new EP ‘Cult Classic’. The six-track juggernaut is a daring escapade that weaves through the realms of sound and psyche, marrying the gritty essence of modern rock and cyber punk with ta touch of nu metal and pop. The release is their first via new label, Pale Chord via Rise Records and is available on all streaming platforms now HERE.
To celebrate the release, the LA-based duo, have also released a provocative music video for the EP’s eponymous title track. Watch the music video for “Cult Classic” HERE.
The “Cult Classic” EP builds on HOLY WARS‘ growing legacy of esoteric sonic shape-shifting and marks another defiant stride in the band’s march towards domination of the alternative soundscape. The record furthers the themes established by previously released singles “Deus Ex Machina” and “BODY//TEMPLE” – paying homage to the cult horror classics but with a twist: the true terror resides not in external monsters, but within—the God of the machine, the mind itself. Meticulously stitched together by Kat Leon’s razor sharp vocal prowess, her bitingly confrontational-yet-thought provoking lyrics and Nick Perez’s genius production and genre-transcending guitar work, the EP plunges the listener into a narrative that is as much a critique of contemporary culture, the ego and the mind as it is a celebration of rebellious musical innovation.
