The UK-based goth/synth-wave/dark-pop act Host, a project by Greg Mackintosh and Nick Holmes of Paradise Lost, revealed the latest pulsing electronic single titled "My Only Escape". The third single from their debut album IX, which will be released on 24th February through Nuclear Blast Records, "My Only Escape" is yet another display of lush nuance that showcases the band's vast range of influences.
Vocalist Nick Holmes commented: "Musically, this track has an intentional repetitive element that builds throughout the song, this is also mirrored in the lyric idea, as in the repetition of an everyday life held in such poor regard. The feeling of actually being physically scared, acts as an acceptable relief from day to day drudgery."
The origins of Host do not trace back to the 1999 Paradise Lost album bearing the same name but instead to the West Yorkshire music clubs of the mid-to-late 1980s. While Holmes and Mackintosh were already certified heavy metal fanatics (“metal thrashing mad” as Holmes equates), they were equally drawn to the new wave and goth music scenes. The pounding rhythms, sublime melodies and undercurrent of darkness drew them in, creating immediate earworms and a desire to delve further. Watch the lyric video for "My Only Escape" right below.
