This new single, ‘Involuntary Haze’, is a taster for the album that is due for release in January. We also give you another track from the album, ‘Heavy, why?’. We are liking both tracks at DeClunk HQ, we reckon you will. Tour dates below too. They’re hot tickets.
Blackwater Holylight have forged a heavy presence in the Los Angeles underground, following a move from Portland, Oregon. On January 30th, 2026 the dreamy hard rock trio will share the full-length Not Here Not Gone via Suicide Squeeze Records. On the second single, “Involuntary Haze” menacing riffs provide the bedrock to beguiling melodies; dense walls of shoegaze guitars pair with lighter-than-air synths; and heavy subject matter is delivered by siren song vocals.
On the track, lead-guitarist Mikayla Mayhew shares: “This song holds up a mirror to empty promises. Pretending there’s room for someone when your heart’s already full. It’s the moment you realize you’ve been fooled, not by anyone else, but by your own excuses.”
