Known for their ethereal blend of doom, psych, heavy rock, and stoner haze since their S/T debut in 2018, followed by the brooding ‘Veils of Winter’ (2019) and the introspective ‘Silence/Motion’ (2021), Blackwater Holylight returns in 2025 with a brand new EP that cuts deeper and hits harder.
Eruptive and electrifying, ‘If You Only Knew’ is a sonic upheaval—an emotional and atmospheric storm that transforms vulnerability into raw power. Released via Suicide Squeeze Records (Minus The Bear, These Arms Are Snakes, This Will Destroy You…), this four-track offering channels dreamy shoegaze vocals, thunderous riffs, and synth textures that shimmer like desert heat.
From the haunted elegance of “Wandering Lost” to the volcanic crescendo of their Radiohead cover “All I Need,” Blackwater Holylight crafts a sound that’s both seismic and spellbinding. Soft meets searing, introspection meets impact—every track is a ritual in release, every note a tremor beneath your skin.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of All Them Witches, Earthless, Elder, Rezn or Spotlights, the band continues to evolve their distinctive fusion of heaviness and harmony—proving that influence can be both a root and a flame.
