Industrial punk newcomer GLDN is back with more new music! The new, NSFW single “Hole” follows the release of their debut EP, First Blood and remix album Hemophilia. “Hole” descends further into the murky shadows and twisted imagination of GLDN mastermind, Nicholas Golden.

Golden comments: “”HOLE is a song about despair. It’s an exploration of how it feels to be at your lowest and know that there’s no way out. Once you’re in that darkness long enough, it can become almost comforting. You start to see the beauty in the pain. And in the end, there’s a sort of acceptance that you will never be the person you were again. In that acceptance, there is freedom to be someone new.”

Yet, despite the heaviness of its content, “Emerson”— named after the street she grew up on — feels like a huge wave of relief rolling off of her shoulders, its driving guitar line like an exit conduit for her boiled-over grief. At the end, the song gathers into a pool of catharsis.” Nylon today also premieres the song’s live music video.
