Holy Wars have just dropped their latest single ‘Deus Ex Machina’.
The new track from the L.A. based duo – which consists of vocalist Kat Leon and guitarist and producer Nick Perez – arrives with an immersive new video that shifts from a literal rollercoaster to a sci-fi setting.
Have a watch and a listen to the single via said video below.
Going some way as to explaining how this heady concoction both in the video and the thought-provoking lyrics came to be, Kat Leon has said:
“Deus Ex Machina was inspired by my love of psychology and how fascinating the brain is. The God of the human machine.
“Deus Ex Machina meaning God from the Machine really helped shape the message of what I wanted to say lyrically in this song, how our personal narrative is powerful. We often rewrite our stories as the hero’s tale but we very possibly could be the villain in another’s. Our words are powerful and our story is our legacy.
“In this song I wanted to display the attack side of the narrative, how any issue I have had with another has stemmed from projection, a choice and the power I allow it to have.
“The ghost in the machine haunting my thoughts and puppeting my actions. Deus Ex Machina is a hard-hitting wild sonic ride of the mania that lives underneath us all.”
Holy Wars’ new track follows the release of the band’s debut album, ‘EAT IT UP SPIT IT OUT’, which arrived almost exactly this time last year.
