Political punk metallers HAWXX – announce their second album and release video for ‘Feral Mother’

Political punk metal band HAWXX are known for their wild performances and songs of rage, love and resistance. The London based progressive trio have created their most devastating and beautiful work with the announcement of their second full-length album, “The World Splits Open”. Due 26th June 2026, this album untethers HAWXX from the uniformity of modern metal production, abandoning click tracks, quantizing and vocal automation. What you hear is intentional, expressive and fierce. The band’s music is inseparable from its feminist foundations and their activism around Palestine, climate catastrophe and trans and queer liberation. Rebellion is at the heart of all HAWXX do, as they carve out a unique and brave space within the heavy music scene.

In celebration of the announcement, they’ve shared a music video for brand new single ‘Feral Mother’. On the new single’s inspiration, vocalist Annouli comments:

“‘Feral Mother’ is our song of grief and loss. It’s about allowing the natural world to hold that raw, feral process;  the deep ache of loss, the rage, the hollow, the ritual, the release. Grieving is a part of loving deeply. It can feel like the whole world has turned against you, like you are completely alone in your pain. The trees, the songbirds, the rivers, the things that once gave you a sense of home have turned away from you. Until one day you feel a little more able to breathe, a little more space around your heart. A quiet voice reminds you of your place in this world and whispers that it’s time to let go.”
