A darkwave Christmas ballad built on haunting synths and guitars, icy ambiance, and intimate vocals. It blends Gothic melancholy with festive stillness, written for the quiet hours when the world feels frozen, still, and strangely beautiful. Recorded during the sessions for our critically acclaimed album RAPTURE and released via Icy Cold Records.

Such a good album. In a world of soundalikes and acts with little to say, Pilgrims of Yearning absolutely stand out. Honest and real and fearless. james__perry
What a kick-ass track. Such a gothic rock vibe. Great guitar, deep voice. Will be played a lot. Anxious for the Maxi CD. 👌 🖤 Great work, guys! stijndestoop
It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special!
It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness. Hallowed Scythe
Sweet one-off release from Zombierella leads off with a groovy cover of early 80s German no-wave outfit No More's "Suicide Commando." Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 4, 2019
Blood Relative is Publicist's latest post-punk salvo from the Forgive Yourself LP, steered by Zachary Lipez's unnerving baritone. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 17, 2015
So great to hear something new from the Lorries after all this time! I really like the intensity of this release, and that touch of unruliness that runs through it. Just miss a bit of that raw edge from the early days. deeper
