(News) A bit of horrorpunk with Hotel Murder´s new single!

HM3

Toronto, ON Punk Rock act Hotel Murder have a released a new self-titled single that will be the first track off the bands upcoming third EP to be released in 2020.  The Track, “Hotel Murder”, is written about the infamous first American serial killer H.H. Holmes. Holmes built a Hotel later coined the Murder Castle for its specific purpose of providing him with a place to kill his victims and opened its doors to tourists visiting the nearby World’s Fair in 1893.

This edifice became Holmes’ booby-trapped paradise. The space featured soundproof rooms, secret passages and a disorienting maze of hallways and staircases. The rooms were also outfitted with trapdoors over chutes that dropped Holmes’ unsuspecting victims to the building’s basement.

The basement was a macabre facility of acid vats, pits of quicklime (often used on decaying corpses) and a crematorium, which the killer used to finish off his victims.

Vancouver pop-punk five-piece Chief State has released the first single off their forthcoming album titled “Tough Love,” which will be released in early 2020.

The song was recorded in Vancouver by Tim Creviston (Spiritbox, Misery Signals, Parting Ways).

Chief State’s guitarist Nik Pang says, “Deciduous is a song about the transition in seasons from summer into fall and winter. As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, a lot of people, myself included, tend to isolate themselves and get into a really negative headspace. The song uses the metaphor of deciduous and evergreen trees to explain how some really struggle through the colder months, while others remain unchanged. As much as the song is about struggling with seasonal depression, it still keeps a relatively positive outlook, because after all, it never stays cold forever.”
