Photo credit: Dana Bellamy (click for higher res) Today Guelph, Ontario hell-raisers Bonnie Trash share a final look at their forthcoming new album, ‘Mourning You’, which is set for release on February 28th on Hand Drawn Dracula.    ‘Mourning You’ finds Bonnie Trash, twins Emmalia & Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, embracing a newfound sense of urgency. The album is, put bluntly, an album about death. Not death in the macabre, violent, or outrageous sense, but death as you or I might know it. A spectre lurking around the corner. Capricious, indiscriminate, and unexpected. Ordinary and all the more terrifying for it. Real. Fear in the eyes of a loved one about to die, and the fear in your eyes – staring back. This is sorrow not as a lingering bruise, but a gushing wound.   Their final new track ahead of the album's release comes alongside a lyric video today. A soaring and crashing crescendo, "Haunt Me (What Have You Become)" speaks of life after losing a loved one. The band comment: "Your misery consumes you. And you torture yourself. You’ve changed in ways that no-one can recognize – you can’t even recognize yourself. The guilt haunts you everyday. You wonder what you could have done to help – to care more, to love more, to hold them in your arms one last time. You think about what you could have done differently; maybe if you visited more it would have made a difference. You blame yourself for everything and death has become you. "Haunt Me (What Have You Become) is a conversation with oneself on how we change when we experience the loss of life, yet it also questions the life after the death of a loved one. Where is my love? When will I see them again? How will I see them again? Confronting sorrow and heartache is difficult, yet it can also ignite beautiful memories, longing for one more day to be with them again." “Haunt Me (What Have You Become)” lyric video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs4yqc6pAKk ‘Mourning You’ album pre-order/pre-save links: https://ffm.to/mourningyou   A lifelong project christened in 2017 with the release of ‘Ezzelini's Dead’, the band's debut EP which found the pair mining the Trevisan dialect and archaic Italian folklore of their heritage to grisly effect. Where their first full length, ‘Malocchio’ (2022), shrouded Bonnie Trash's nightmares in dusky dreamlike reverb, ‘Mourning You’ is vivid and immediate. Emboldened by the addition of Emma Howarth-Withers on bass and Dana Bellamy on drums – whose thunderous rhythms sharpened 2024's ‘My Love Remains the Same’ EP into a fine-edged blade – ‘Mourning You’ is less a post-mortem fantasia than a sudden, swift dagger to the heart. Sarafina, the band's singer and lyricist, has described the album as being about "losing someone you love. It's about the horrors of grief, haunting you every day." Inspired, largely, by the passing of Nonna Maria – who provided interstitial narration across the band's early work – it's these intimate details which render the songs on ‘Mourning You' so devastating. The record explores love and grief as kindred spirits. Grief as love with nowhere to go. Love determined by the fear of its loss. A blood pact. A life for a life. The gnarled claw of remorse gripping you in twilight's terror.   Though inspired by the shocking iconography of horrorshows, slasher flicks, and psychological thrillers, Bonnie Trash turns cinematic tropes on their head. Rather than fashioning nightmares into reality, the band paints reality as a nightmare, rife with pain, suffering, and gothic theatre. Bonnie Trash understands that everyday atrocities haunt the periphery of our lives. A black cloud looming on the edge of our vision. Curses abound. You can't ward them off. You'd best make an unholy racket.   ‘Mourning You’ is out February 28, 2025 on Hand Drawn Dracula.   Bonnie Trash live dates: Feb 27 - Toronto, ON - Wavelength Winter Fest w/ The OBGMs, pHoenix Pagliacci, Cadence Weapon Mar 01 - Guelph, ON - ArtBar Mar 08 - Kitchener, ON - The Union April 25 - Toronto, ON - The Sound Garage w/ Change of Heart April 26 - Toronto, ON - The Sound Garage w/ Change of Heart *SOLD OUT* ‘Mourning You’ track list: 1.
