Maybe it’s the weather, maybe its the (inter-)national tension, or maybe its just something else entirely, but we’ve been vibing hard to the heavy shit lately. The next to unleash a sonic fury for our unsuspecting earholes is Death Goals, the London queercore duo that scales mountains of sound with a blistering new ripper called “Knife Bouquet.”
This seismic effort bloomed with a 3D-effect video yesterday (July 16) via Prosthetic Records, and features a frantic guest vocal appearance from Matt Reynolds of Haggard Cat and Heck. “Knife Bouquet” serves as Death Goals’ first dose of new music since last year’s sophomore album A Garden of Dead Flowers.
“‘Knife Bouquet’ is a track of necessary catharsis; wanting to move on from years-old heartbreak but unsure of how to do so,” the duo states. “Lyrically collected from old journal entries and sonically rooted in the sound we have developed over the last two records, Knife Bouquet is a statement of intent for us as a band and one of the first tracks that came out of post-Garden writing sessions. We wrote the song with our good friend Matt in mind for the final section, and we’re so glad he agreed to jump on. We’re super proud of this track and can’t wait to start playing it live.”
Crank it to the heavens below.
