Australia’s heavy music trailblazer’s Hellions are back with ‘Furrow’, the second piece of new music we’ve heard from them in 2018. ‘Furrow’ was recorded in Thailand with longtime collaborator Shane Edwards.
Sonically the track is a stylistic heel-turn for the band. Ditching their signature fervent, relentless energy for a restrained and solemn ballad.
The song is a sombre exploration of self-worth and self-perception. Drummer and co-writer Anthony Caruso explains
“Furrow speaks of real, personal experiences in dealing with the mental processes of learning to accept, understand, forgive and above all, love someone in a relationship, where clashing values and morals are constantly challenging not only commitment to another person, but our own happiness.
The outside world has profound influence on how we perceive ourselves; our self-worth. How this effects the state of being in love with one another can be so powerful, it can prove to be some of our greatest challenges throughout life. The fallen tulip in the artwork is an acknowledgment to the struggle and loneliness we can feel in fighting our own battles of self-perception, while being able to realise someone else’s.”

Earlier this year Hellions released the funky, genre-bending ‘X (MWAH)‘.
The band are currently prepping to tour the U.K. but you can catch them at Yours & Owls festival in September.
