Newcomer metalcore band Lust For Lily released new single “Glitter”

Lust For Lily is a band that was founded in Tuusula (Finland) in the summer of 2022. The band’s music represents the subgenre of heavy metalcore, which combines the sensitivity of melancholic alternative pop with the explosive energy and expressive power of modern metalcore.

Along with hard gigging, Lust For Lily has also started working on new material, of which we got the first taste today in the form of “Glitter” single. With the song, the band’s musical expression takes a turn towards a new, darker and rawer sounding direction.

“Glitter is a bleak, dark and melancholic metal ballad about a person reaching their ultimate breaking point. In the song, sensitive and catchy lyrics are supported by impressive production and crushing electric guitars. Glitter has also established its position as an atmospheric highlight of live gigs,” the band commented

The band’s camp also hints that, in addition to “Glitter” , another song has been in the works, which will be released in the near future.

Lust For Lily, who released their “Relinquish” debut EP last spring, quickly attracted attention in Finnish music circles. The songs were selected for Spotify playlists, and the single “Pale Fondness” got its premiere on YleX. Convinced with their serious production and fresh compositions, the young band has been touring hard since the release of their EP. At the band’s debut gig, many people rubbed their eyes when the drummer, who had broken his hand, arrived to perform with, among others, Mika “Kaasu” Karppinen, known from HIM.
