‘Let death bloom with life’ is a lyric chanted like a mantra on song ‘The Beast’, the emotional and sonic core of Saint Agnes’ new studio album, Your God Fearing Days Are About to Begin via Spinefarm.

It’s more than a line, it’s a mission statement. With this record, Saint Agnes transform pain into power, grief into beauty and chaos into catharsis. Out of violence and sorrow, something radiant has bloomed, and with it, Saint Agnes have stepped into their boldest, most artistically vital era yet.

Fusing raw industrial power, dark elegance and hedonistic, body-moving intensity, the UK outfit have created a sound made for sweat-soaked goth club dancefloors – a visceral vision fuelled by a bold and fearless spirit.

Hailing from London, Saint Agnes seek to carve a rebellious path through the industrial wreckage of modern alternative metal with a signature sound inspired by the intensity of Nine Inch Nails, the genre-bending chaos of Poppy and the euphoric, cinematic story telling of Lorde; music for the club, the stage, the void inside, it is deliberate, elegant, seductive.

Saint Agnes is fronted by Kitty A. Austen, the band’s creative axis, whose voice, vision and volatility shape every inch of their evolving world. Leading from the front, she channels beauty and brutality in equal measure, spearheading the band’s reputation for intense and chaotic live shows, striking visuals, plus a sound that’s heavy, hypnotic and unrepentantly dark. Never playing by the rules, here is a group that feels connected to the now, whilst striving to create art with the depth to be timeless.
