It has been an unmatched year for Melbourne-based heavy outfit The Last Martyr, and the streak continues with latest single Freaking Out, included on their recently announced forthcoming debut EP, Purgatory out December 10. Pre-order here.
The hard-hitting track kicks off with blast beats before taking the listener on a ride through terrain that features haunting verses and a soaring, ethereal chorus. It will be the last single to drop prior to their upcoming EP, Purgatory. With a soaring chorus, guttural screams and BDSM undertones, Freaking Out tells a tale of taking a risk to fall in love despite feeling content with being on your own, further solidifying triple j Unearthed’s statement that the band are: “the heavy outfit making emotional and empowering metal anthems“.
Freaking Out showcases a much heavier side to The Last Martyr, a side that the band have been working towards on previous releases. Enlisting the help of the unstoppable Chris Lalic (Windwaker, To Octavia Days Like These) on production, mix and mastering, together the team bring together a thrashing yet focussed backdrop of sounds.
