What's New: Hard To Explain
Hard to Explain Drop “Lust” and It’s the Kind of Sin You’ll Want to Repeat

Northern Ireland’s Hard to Explain are back with their latest single “Lust”, and let’s be clear: this isn’t just another metal track with a provocative name. It’s a slow-burning fever dream wrapped in distortion, where nu-metal tension meets grunge melancholy and alt-rock atmosphere. Think Bring Me The Horizon circa Sempiternal, dipped in the brooding weight of Bad Omens, then slapped awake by a riff you can’t ignore.
From the first note, “Lust” drags you into a world of late-night regrets, restless desire, and that particular kind of emotional chaos where you know you should walk away but you don’t. The groove is hypnotic, the vocals teeter between control and collapse, and the lyrics? They don’t shout. They whisper, then bite.
It’s not “heavy” in the traditional sense, no blast beats, no gutturals, but it feels heavy. Like your chest is full of smoke and bad decisions. That’s the band’s strength: they’ve got the riffs, sure, but they also know how to build a mood. And here, the mood is dangerously close to pleasure.
Released via Sodeh Records, “Lust” shows a band carving out their space in the modern heavy landscape, not by chasing trends, but by leaning into emotional rawness and sonic contrast. You can hear the pandemic isolation in the silence between the notes, the frustration in the build-up, the release in the chorus that hits like a confession.
This is the kind of song that works just as well alone in your room at 2 a.m. as it does live, with a crowd screaming every word they’re too afraid to say out loud.
