Maggot Heart Reveal “This Shadow” From Upcoming “Hunger” Album

Maggot Heart whet primal appetites for their new album, Hunger, that will be released via Rapid Eye Records and Svart Records on the 29th September, with their new single, This Shadow, that is a brooding, yet dynamic propulsion of noise, melody and expression. Hunger is the album where Maggot Heart’s finesse of their own fervor finds them standing on their own feral hind legs. Existing on a diet of her own determination, Olsson knows well what hunger means for the survivor. Olsson isn’t hungry, she embodies Hunger. No other band out there sounds like Maggot Heart. On Hunger their bones are exposed, a hole where the rib used to be, the void staring back. Sink your teeth into Hunger. Starvation has never sounded this vital. 

“This song is both melancholic and euphoric, sometimes you don’t know if you’re feeling one or the other. actually had Courtney Love in mind, as in I wanted to write a chorus, she would be proud of! Maybe someone can play it to her and let us know? Either way, I think it’s kind of an undeniable song, very simple on the surface but quite complex underneath. The video was created by the absolute visionary Tekla Vali during some early hours in Helsinki. Tekla is really skilled in creating a unique world where her visual language speaks in tongues. And she made us look pretty cool, too.” (guitarist and singer Linnéa Olsson)
