Someone To Blame by Holy Death Temple
March 22, 2026
Seattle’s Holy Death Temple sit in a space where darkness and momentum meet, shaping what themselves describe as a “goth dance punk” sound that brushes against darkwave and post punk without losing its own center.
Their new single Someone To Blame carries a tension that feels both physical and inward‑looking. It moves with the confidence of a late‑night club track, being direct, rhythmic, built to hold attention, while letting a slower unease settle underneath. The band throws in S&M imagery alongside something more political, letting the two echo each other without forcing the connection.
Ideas of control, submission, and shifting power hover in the background, but the song doesn’t hinge on interpretation. Its impact comes through tone and delivery, the atmosphere it builds, and the feeling it leaves behind.
