The new single revolves around the themes of betrayal, feeling trapped and inner conflict. Lyrically it depicts a struggle between wanting to break free and knowing you probably wouldn’t, even if you could. There is a clear, almost desperate, plea and need for salvation but also a push and pull between giving in to the destruction and hoping for a release.
The band comment: “It was one of the later songs we wrote for the EP, and we played around with lots of ideas for the melody in the verse as we wanted something quite rhythmic but still melodic and catchy. Once we had this melody, albeit with very different words, we all couldn’t stop singing it days, even weeks, later so we knew it was the one.
“This is the first new song Häxan fans will hear since our debut album release in 2020, so we hope they will see and love the band’s and our sound’s evolution. It’s still Häxan. Still big riffs, big choruses, but bolder, heavier, and bigger than ever.“
Produced by Grammy nominated Romesh Dodangoda, Häxan‘s new EP showcases the band’s evolution, blending rock and metal influences – bigger, bolder and more intense. From the uncompromising title track and first single ‘Death of Me’, Häxan delivers big riffs, big vocals and driving energy, setting the stage for what’s to come.
Recorded at Longwave Studios with the same passion and fire that fuels their high-energy live shows, Death of Me captures the essence of a band that has made waves on major festivals such as Download, Bloodstock, and Planet Rockstock, international stages such as the Monsters of Rock Cruise Miami and Malmo Rock Festival, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Foreigner, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, and Florence Black.
