Reliqa – make a return with pounding new single ‘Your Touch’

Sydney alternative metal outfit Reliqa are back with pounding new single, ‘Your Touch‘, a genre-blending anthem about ambition’s darker side and the risk of losing sight of what you love, out now via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast.

Written in close collaboration with artist and producer James McKendrick (Void of Vision), ‘Your Touch‘ blends the quartet’s trademark progressive metalcore roots with bright, dance-driven textures, pushing deeper into newfound sonic territory on their follow-up to last year’s debut album Secrets of the Future.

“Your Touch is a continuation of a close-to-heart idea we started exploring on Secrets of the Future, about the fear of ambition going too far,” says the band. “It’s about having tunnel vision, where your sight’s set on a single target so narrowly that one day you realise you’ve left everything you love behind. The song is full of outer space imagery for that reason – it felt like a fitting metaphor for making bold moves that leave you more isolated than ever.”

The music video, directed by Colin Jeffs of Ten of Swords Media, sees the band in a spacecraft-like setting that mirrors the song’s themes of confinement, ambition and isolation.

Since rising out of Sydney’s underground, Reliqa have established themselves as one of Australia’s most exciting new prospects. Trailblazers in their own right, they’ve shared stages with the likes of BABYMETAL, Spiritbox, Periphery, Make Them Suffer and more, as well as touring with Good Things Festival last year. Their 2024 debut album showcased a band leaving no stone unturned in their quest for total musical expression, harnessing the most savage and passionate elements of modern metal fused with electronica, pop, prog and post-hardcore for the thrill of it.

With every new experience, they have endeavoured to bottle everything they felt and feed off it as much as possible as they look to the next milestone. Remembering exactly how it felt to watch their dreams playing out before them and using it as a light as they venture into the unknown.

‘Your Touch‘ is the next leap in Reliqa’s unstoppable ascent. Out now via Greyscale Records & Nuclear Blast. Stream it HERE.
