MASON HILL single "Twisted" drops February 20

"'Twisted' started with James' straight-killer riff that you hear at the start of the track, and I wanted to write something that would really do it justice. The song is about a relationship that's so wrong that it's right - toxic love that's so addictive, you can never leave it.
It's a mix of grit and melody, a poppy chorus and a balls-to-the-wall breakdown section. 10/10 would recommend to a friend."
Mason Hill's new vocalist Tom Ward is understandably enthusiastic about the new music he and his bandmates are creating, and with good reason. The material recorded so far for the band's second album is already raising eyebrows from those lucky enough to have heard it.
"I'm absolutely made up that we can finally get another track out there and "Twisted" is a band favourite for sure - with plenty of time for fans to get learning those lyrics before our UK tour kicks off in March!"
'Twisted' sees the band take a step towards a darker, heavier sound, the song being one of crushing yearning, the effects of a so-good-even though-it's so bad relationship and the toll it takes. Huge riffs and thundering drums propel the song whilst keeping the melodies forefront, capped by a stand-out vocal performance by Ward.
The singles 'Twisted', and its predecessor 'Remember', are just the first step on the road to a new album from Mason Hill, all of which has now been recorded under the watchful eyes and ears of producer Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Bury Tomorrow, Those Damn Crows).
Four years after 'Against the Wall' made such an impact, Mason Hill is re-entering the fray with renewed intent, showcasing a freshly updated sound and presentation.

This line up feels like a huge step forward for the Glasgow-based band, and with good reason. While the core of Mason Hill is the same as the band that made 'Against The Wall' - James plus guitarist Marc Montgomery, bassist Matt Ward and drummer Craig McFetridge - their new music marks the introduction of new singer Ward, whose versatile voice offers new dimensions to Mason Hill's signature sound as he switches from emotive whisper to arena-rattling power in a heartbeat.
