In the midst of a seven date run of UK shows, Ghøstkid have unveiled their brand new track and video, “Heavy Rain”. The accompanying video deals with the sensitive topic of domestic violence which may be triggering for some viewers. You can watch it in the article below, and read more from the band.
Warning: This video contains themes of domestic abuse.
Ghøstkid comments: ”“Heavy Rain” was written during a time when I felt utterly miserable…”
“Even if the story of the song is written from the perspective of two lovers who are in a relationship it represents so much more. It is based on experiences that I have made over the past years and sadly I believe a lot of people can relate to them.“
“It is hard to find good people who really respect and love you the way you are. You should always be aware of people that abuse you just to make them feel superior. At some point you learn to deal with the pain, slowly it becomes a part of you – until the person you used to be no longer exists.“
““Heavy Rain” describes the feeling of losing yourself under abuse and manipulation by a loved one. It is for everybody out there who had to to go through similar feelings. Try to stay strong and break the cycle. Search for help and do not let yourself down.“
“You are a good and valuable person and no one can take this away from you. You are not alone! This song is for you.“
Ghøstkid kicked off 2023 supporting Bad Omens on their sold out European tour and played high profile European festivals such as Jera On Air (NL), Resurrection Fest (ES) and Wacken Open Air (DE) in the summer.
Remaining live dates:
September 20.23 (UK) Bristol – The Fleece
