WATCH: Mallory Knox premiere their first song without Mikey Chapman
Check out the 'Black Holes' video
Mallory Knox have shared the video for their first song since the departure of singer Mikey Chapman.
Titled ‘Black Holes’, the song sees bassist Sam Douglas step up and take over vocal duties.
“I think it shows a completely different side to my voice,” says Sam. “In taking on lead vocals, that was something I wanted to be able to show from the get go.
“It's a song we've played at rehearsal for a while and we're all really excited about integrating it into the set.”
Reflecting on the lyrics, Sam adds: “It's all too easy in this day and age to post every single thought we have online, and at times too much can be said. Everybody seems to be so quick to have an opinion on something, which they often know nothing about – and I struggle to defend how much negativity is spouted online.
“We really wanted to make sure that emotion was captured in the recording and our producer Adrian Bushby really brought out the bare bones of the song in the best way.
“It’s a conscious effort to go back to basics. We really want the listener to be able to hear every part being played and I feel we've achieved that.”
