Rising metalcore force If Not For Me is set to release their blistering new single "Unholy" on Friday, March 13th via Thriller Records. The track arrives alongside an official music video premiering at noon ET that same day. Marking one of the band's heaviest and most immersive songs to date, "Unholy" dives headfirst into possession, paranoia, and the loss of control.
"I normally tend to write songs from a place of personal experience but every now and then I like to get out of my own head and write about something completely off the wall, and 'Unholy' is definitely one of those songs," shares vocalist Patrick Glover. "'Unholy' is all about being possessed by a demon and being controlled from the inside out. I tried to tap into what it might be like to feel their presence beneath your skin, influencing your every move and infiltrating your every thought until you're forced to submit."
Vocalist Patrick Glover shares more insight on the idea behind the track:

"I really wanted to lean into the horror imagery in the lyrics and leave almost nothing up to interpretation, and it was super important to me to really convey the desperation and intensity of the vocals. I wanted the listener to really feel the 'clawing under my skin' and 'gnawing out of my head,' as well as the frantic delivery in the screams and instrumentals. I probably pushed my vocals harder than I ever have while recording 'Unholy,' and it ended up being one of my favorite songs we've ever written. So stoked to share this one with everybody."
