Kentucky post-hardcore outfit Polterguise are gearing up to release their debut EP, Vantablack, tomorrow via Theoria Records. Today (12th), the group has teamed up with Metal Insider to premiere their new song “Hellhound.” Originally a solo project of David Gillespie, the group introduced their progressive-post-hardcore sound with “Ectogasm” and “Ethereale” in 2019. Now, the band has polished their style, adding intricate riffs while putting their emotion to every track, as Gillespie explains on the new song:
“Hellhound is a song venting a great deal of anger, and feelings of betrayal. I was writing from a place of re-evaluating a lifelong friendship that had taken an unexpectedly horrible turn. I found myself surprised by the actions of people I trusted, and fell into a long spiral of depression from loss of deep friendship. This song was my way of taking in a big gulp of air, and screaming out my frustrations, my shock, and my pain I felt.”
