Holy Wars have announced their signing with Pale Chord Music, making them labelmates with the likes of Spiritbox, Thousand Below and more. The duo, who consist of vocalist Kat Leon and guitarist/producer Nick Perez, have debuted a music video for their single “Deus Ex Machina” to accompany news of their new label home.
Leon had the following to say of the track:
“‘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 was wanting 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.”
