Seattle-based punks Filth Is Eternal have released their new cover of Hole‘s “Violet,” a track that originally appeared on 1994’s Live Through This. This marks the first release since Filth Is Eternal‘s 2023 LP Find Out.
Much like Hole vocalist Courtney Love, Lis D’Angelo flawlessly intertwines guttural growls and shimmering clean vocals across the iconic grunge track.
The band shares, “We have always loved Hole, and ‘Violet’ was a song all of us were interested in covering. Love herself has always been fearless and uncompromising. The lyrics suggest resentment, violence, and the sexual exploitation of a person under the guise of romance.”
They add, “As the track moves forward, she harnesses her frustrations, finds a way to gain control, to break through, and does so with raw energy and power. The track, between the lyrics and the arrangement, is fucking brilliant and inspiring and an energy we wanted to tap into.”
