Listen to HOL!'s Sinister New Single "VAMPIRE" Ahead of Debut Album

3 months ago 14

It may still be summer, but HOL! is making it feel like Halloween is in full effect after dropping his new single, "VAMPIRE."

From its outset, the track feels like creeping through a dark castle as spine-chilling laughter samples greet you at its gates. An ominous piano melody trudges through the build-up just before you fall into Count Dracula's grasp through the single uttered word "vampire," which gives way to a grating, ground-shaking drop.

The interplay of piano and bass continues throughout the track, giving us the feeling of escaping a dark force and being hopelessly caught again. HOL! makes the arrangement even more eerie with strategically glitched-out FX throughout, building tension and leaving no doubts about its sinister intentions. Take a listen below.

The nightmarish new single arrives amidst a countdown to the red-hot "Country Riddim" producer's debut album, Brulure. Whether or not the album's music showcases the same ominousness as "VAMPIRE" remains to be seen, but considering its title translates from French to "burn," that's a safe bet.

Brulure is scheduled to release on August 30th, 2024. In the meantime, you can find "Vampire" on streaming platforms here.
