Manchester, UK-based five-piece GUILT TRIP — Jay Valentine [vocals], Jak Maden [guitar], Sam Baker [guitar], Tom Aimson [drums], and Lily Kilcoyne [bass] — are one of the most exciting and fast-rising bands in heavy music. They have surprise-dropped the three-song EP, God Forgives, today, February 11. Listen and get it here.
It includes two new tracks — “Dirt” (which premiered on Daniel P Carter’s Radio 1 Rock show on February 9) and “Angel Eyes” (which premiered via SiriusXM Liquid Metal on February 10) — as well as a new mix of the previously released “Burn.”
The band also shared a music video event presented in two parts featuring “Dirt” and “Angel Eyes,” which can be viewed here. It’s quite a one-two knockout punch.
“God Forgives is a culmination of progress and the embodiment of Guilt Trip’s identity, whilst consciously trying to build on the style and songwriting on Severance we are yet embracing and moving with the sound we achieved on that record,” says Valentine. “The songs were written with one thing in mind: ‘Make it better’ and we hope we have hit the mark for every Guilt Trip fan out there.”
Regarding the accompanying video, he says, “It was birthed by a mix of transitioning lyrical themes into visuals and original ideas that we felt best represented the subject matter metaphorically. We wanted to show something other than just a live performance — a story that could entertain while relating to the music and still convey a message but be open enough for the watcher to make their own interpretations.”
The EP highlights the band’s gritty and groove-laden metallic hardcore style — and is just a taste of what’s to come for the band’s forthcoming full-length.
