Fueled by raw emotion and a gritty DIY punk spirit, Southampton trio My Black Poison return with their striking single Freak.
My Black Poison – Freak
Freak is a bold statement of everything that defines their sound: honest, intense, and loaded with energy.
Formed by singer and guitarist Sean Cahalin, bassist James J Poison, and drummer Henry Wilkins, Southampton-based My Black Poison is a rising act delivering a potent mix of heartfelt lyricism and infectious riffs. Their sound sits at an exhilarating crossroads where punk energy meets emo intensity, resulting in music that hits hard and stays with you.
Looking back on their career so far, My Black Poison introduced themselves with their debut EP Take a Sip in 2022, offering listeners a clear glimpse of their musical identity. They built on that foundation with their sophomore EP Toxic Traits, taking their sound to the next level and showcasing a bolder, more refined approach.
As a glimpse of what’s to come, My Black Poison have released the single Freak, a track that delivers the same raw, visceral lyricism fans have come to expect, paired with the electrifying intensity that has become a signature of their sound both in the studio and on stage.
Distorted riffs and driving drumming underscore the track’s emotional depth, creating an atmosphere of raw desperation and longing. The interplay between melodic singing and intense, emo-infused screams captures the sense of rejection perfectly, culminating in a powerful and memorable guitar solo.
“Freak delivers everything an emo track should: edgy, high-energy, and emotionally charged, leaving an impact on multiple levels.”
Freak is the first single from My Black Poison’s upcoming debut album. Even though the album is still in the works, the track has already captured the attention of their growing fanbase. Be sure to follow the band on their socials to stay updated on all the latest news.
As they like to say: “My Black Poison are looking for their tribe, and are looking at you.”
