New Years Day is getting into the Halloween spirit with their merciless new single, “Vampyre.” The heavy and spookily-themed song is a hard-hitting follow-up to the band’s 2022 single, “Hurts Like Hell.” Juxtaposing drop-tuned guitar breakdowns with frontwoman Ash Costello’s soaring vocal delivery, the track tells an empowering story about escaping a relationship with a narcissist. It’s a reminder that no matter how scary it can be, nobody can take away a woman’s power and strength to move forward beyond the pain and trauma.
