Poppy has released a new cinematic video for her single, Guardian – taken from new album, Empty Hands
Fresh off announcing a tour with recent collaborators Evanescence, Poppy have dropped another single from her upcoming seventh studio album, Empty Hands.
Produced by Jordan Fish, new track Guardian continues Poppy's passion for expansive, infectious metal, buoyed by that unmistakable voice and desire to push any boundary you care to mention.
It's the third song to be released from Poppy's forthcoming LP, following Bruised Sky and Unravel.
Check it out below.
Empty Hands will be released January 23 via Sumerian Records.
And Poppy will return to the UK this March, followed by a European tour supporting Evanescence.
