Holy Wars have signed to Pale Chord, and are celebrating the news
with an explosive single, Deus Ex Machina.
The Los Angeles duo – vocalist Kat Leon and guitarist/producer
Nick Perez – are building on early momentum with an impressively realised
sound and vision, with Kat sharing of the band’s new song and what it all means: “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 puppetting my actions. Deus Ex Machina is a hard-hitting wild
sonic ride of the mania that lives underneath us all.”
