About The Single Artwork--(answered by Connor Grant in the band's bio)
For whatever reason, I love juxtaposition, or abstract images that can really tell any story you want. FILTH is this brutal, slamming industrial metal banger, but the artwork is a woman's hand clasping vines. I loved the unsettling beauty in that. Her hand is filthy, and I think that can be explored. We all have to get our hands dirty, and the things we hold close that we think are beautiful might just be dead vines in the end.

About The Single (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):(answered by Connor Grant in the band's bio)
The song is about a betrayal. Seeing just who someone truly is underneath. But am I talking about someone who did me wrong? Or is it all self-reflection realizing you aren’t who you thought you were? You choose.
