Death Pill announce second album, Sologamy: “It’s a call to action”

Following 2023’s 4/5-rated self-titled debut, Ukrainian riot grrrls Death Pill have announced their second album Sologamy.

Due out on June 20 via New Heavy Sounds, the trio explain that there’s a lot going on here, with each of the album’s 10 songs deliberately being “quite different from the last, and we see this as a way of accepting and supporting yourself in any emotional state”.

They explain: “You arrive in this world alone and you leave it alone. The bottom line is: you’re the only person you’ve got. It’s important to understand your different selves, to listen to yourself and your true desires, to love yourself when you’re at your lowest as well as your highest, to accept and understand all the different sides of your personality, and to be in touch with your conscious and unconscious.

“Every song on the album is a story that happened to us,” Death Pill add. “Maybe it’ll happen to you too. But every story deserves to become a song.

“Sologamy is more than just an album – it’s a call to action.”

Check out lead single Craterface below, which the band say is “a metaphor for a person whose face bears the marks of past struggles – both physical and emotional.

“This track is a cry from the soul, reflecting fear, self-hatred and complicated relationships. The lyrical hero wrestles with inner conflicts, searching for acceptance. In a world filled with pressure and stress, Craterface becomes the voice of those trying to make sense of their emotions.

“The protagonist feels not only anger toward others but also rage toward themselves for their own helplessness. This fury transforms into a thirst for revenge – a painful yet powerful way to cope with suffering. Craterface is my ultimate catharsis. A catharsis of consuming hatred, of the vengeance that eats me from the inside. ‘Let’s be honest – haven’t we all felt this way at least once?’”
