"When we started writing 'Kundalini,' everything just felt so natural. CJ [Arey] and I walked into the studio and instantly clicked with The Pretty Wild girls (Jyl and Jules), and of course, Andrew the producer. From the very start, there was an incredible synergy, and we got right down to business. In just two days, we had created something truly special. The experience was infused with divine, feminine energy, and it was nothing short of inspiring," says Deadlands singer Kasey Karlsen.
She continues, "I'm beyond thankful to have worked alongside such brilliant and badass women. Jyl and Jules brought their unique artistry and creativity to the table, elevating the song to a whole new level. CJ and I were also blown away by Andrew's immense talent — his contribution was extraordinary, and we'd love to collaborate with him again in the future."
Karlsen finishes, "'Kundalini' is Deadlands' first-ever collaboration, and it's an honor to have teamed up with The Pretty Wild."
Jules from The Pretty Wild also offers a look into the song, saying, "'Kundalini' represents the primal, divine energy waiting to awaken, and that untamed force became the heartbeat of this song, a surge of calling out toxic femininity, empowerment, and transformation. We loved channeling that metal-physical edge, stitching together the spiritual and the brutal. Collaborating with Deadlands was an unforgettable journey, and we all poured everything into this beast, we can't wait to unleash it live."
Deadlands’ new single, Kundalini, featuring The Pretty Wild, is a high-energy, hard-hitting track that perfectly blends metalcore aggression with a NuMetal fusion. From the start, the song grabs your attention with an intricate guitar riff, setting the stage for intense, dynamic vocals. The interplay between screamed verses and soaring, melodic choruses keeps the energy flowing, giving the track an engaging push-and-pull effect.
The Pretty Wild’s feature adds a fresh twist, bringing a NuMetal edge that contrasts nicely with Deadlands' heavier sound, specifically on the second rapped verse.
The production is crisp and polished, allowing every instrument to shine without losing the raw power that makes the song hit so hard. Lyrically, Kundalini seems to tap into themes of awakening and transformation, fitting for such an explosive track.
Overall, Kundalini is a killer collab that showcases both bands’ strengths while delivering a song that’s as catchy as it is crushing. Whether you're a fan of breakdowns, soaring hooks, or just high-energy metalcore, this one’s definitely worth a listen.
