INTENSUS, SOLO PROJECT OF ELI LITWIN (JOHN FRUM, KNIFE THE GLITTER),UNVEILS NEW SINGLE “UNHOLY”
INTENSUS, the solo studio project of multi-instrumentalist Eli Litwin, has unveiled the new single “Unholy,” taken from the forthcoming album The World Now, Still, arriving September 25th on all streaming platforms.
“Unholy” distills the dense, experimental character of The World Now, Still into a collision of rhythmic complexity, dissonant heaviness and visceral vocals. Drawing inspiration from the weight and intensity of Neurosis, the song offers an accessible entry point into a record that continually pushes beyond conventional genre boundaries.
Litwin comments on the song:
“As the album's most straightforward track, ‘Unholy’ is a good introduction to the sonically dense, yet musically accessible sound of The World Now, Still. As I explain in the song breakdown video (available on YouTube and Instagram), I began with percussion improvisations, transcribed those rhythms, performed them again on acoustic guitar, and then I play a little rhythmic trick with the entrance of the main riff. My biggest influence for the heaviness, tempo, and vocal delivery of the song was one of my all-time favorite bands, Neurosis. I lived in Philadelphia from 2001-2020, and I wrote the lyrics in 2018, in response to a PA Grand Jury report regarding decades of atrocities and systematic cover-ups. Google ‘2018 Pennsylvania Catholic Church cover-up’ if you're unfamiliar.”
