Alternative metal band Holywatr unveil their new single, “green room,” marking the latest chapter in a breakout year for the rising group. The new track arrives ahead of their massive upcoming North American tour, further cementing Holywatr’s place among one of the most exciting acts in the heavy music scene.
“green room” is a moody, sultry offering that blends singer Patrick Middleton’s smooth vocals with explosive drums and guitars as the song builds, creating a striking dichotomy between intimacy and intensity. Produced by the band themselves, and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Korn, Trivium, and more), the single pairs seductive verses with a dynamic, hard-hitting chorus. The result is a confident and provocative track that showcases the band’s ability to balance sensuality with crushing energy.
“They say love finds a way – in this case, it found its way into someone else’s green room on our last tour,” says the band.
