"MOTHER isn’t just a name to me - it’s an ideology," the mysterious new artist reveals as she unveils her debut single, Unholy.
There’s a dark new force on the scene in the form of MOTHER, a mysterious new artist who has released her debut single Unholy today.
After weeks of teasing, the new song has finally arrived and if you’re a fan of Spiritbox, Bad Omens, Evanescence or President, this will be right up your alley.
"When I wrote Unholy, I was drowning quietly. Every part of my life felt as though it was rotting at the edges — relationships, mental health, identity, survival. I couldn’t tell whether the voice inside me wanted salvation or self-destruction anymore,” MOTHER says. “I only knew some part of me wanted to disappear. The emptiness, the fractured sense of identity, the feeling of becoming a stranger inside your own body.
“There’s a grief within Unholy that mourns a version of myself I’m not even sure ever truly existed. That’s the cruelty of BPD and dissociation — you begin to question your own memories, your own emotions, your own reflection."
“Music is the closest thing to creating life I’ll ever know. Every song I write is born from pain, obsession, and survival. When someone truly connects to it, they become part of that creation - not as a listener, but as family. That bond isn’t blood. It’s devotion. That’s why MOTHER isn’t just a name to me - it’s an ideology.”
On the song’s video, she says: "The video embodies all of this emotionally, but it also represents transformation and the conjuring of inner strength. By the end, there is a shift from fragility into power — a dark power — the birth of Mother emerging from the wreckage of everything that came before. Not because the pain vanished, but because enduring it transformed me into something else entirely. If you hear your pain reflected within it, then the song fulfilled its purpose.”
