Saint Agnes have announced their upcoming album Bloodsuckers.

Due out on July 21 via Spinefarm, the record gave vocalist Kitty A. Austen “a reason to get to my feet at a time when I really wasn’t sure if I could”. Kitty continues: “I’ve tried to put everything I’ve been feeling into it, all the pain, the rage, the grief, even the unexpected moments of beauty and belief. I hope it makes you feel less alone. I hope it makes you feel bigger, badder and stronger. We might be damaged but that doesn’t mean we’re worthless. This is a record for the defeated, the crushed. We might be broken but that doesn’t mean we’re not whole. Bloodsuckers forever, Saint Agnes forever.”

To coincide with the announcement the quartet have shared the raging title-track, which Kitty says came about “when I couldn’t take it anymore, when I decided to stop allowing people to crush me, to diminish me. I took my rage and my pain and used it as fuel and I burned. We are not defined by what has been done to us. We decide who we are. We choose who we want to be. We are whole. We are worthy. The video is an introduction to Team Bloodsuckers. Join us.”
