Toronto gothy post-punks Bonnie Trash, led by twins Emmalia & Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, have announced a new album, Mourning You, which will be out February 28 via Hand Drawn Dracula. Sarafina says the album is about “losing someone you love. It’s about the horrors of grief, haunting you every day.” It’s inspired by the death of Nonna Maria, she says, who provided between-song spoken word vocals on the band’s early work.
The first single from the album is “Veil of Greed,” a hard-hitting, flinty, heaby ripper. “When you lose the one you love so dearly, it’s a cut that’s so deep, it rips your heart out of your chest. You try to continue on, but you suffer and you bleed,” Emmalia and Sarafina say. “Grief is like an open wound that will never fully heal. It can consume you if you let it. Sometimes, it’s best to let it feed, allowing the pain to exist with the beautiful memories you hold close to your heart.”
