Today, Music Crowns is proud to premiere the explosive new single “Survey Says” from rising goth dance punk trio Holy Death Temple. The band’s searing second release is a relentless collision of brooding post-punk vocals, frenetic guitars, and thunderous synth hooks — a dark anthem that channels American social collapse through the dead-eyed grin of a rigged game show.
With the razor-sharp lyricism of frontman Bryan Edward and the razorwire synths of Amy Tung-Barrysmith, underpinned by Jon Barrysmith’s punishing rhythms, “Survey Says” flips genre conventions to create a sound that’s as danceable as it is devastating. The track’s chilling tagline — “We’re fucked. Let’s party.” — isn’t just a motto, it’s a mission statement for catharsis in chaotic times.
Accompanied by striking artwork depicting a twisted Eye of Providence, the single stands as a powerful statement on power, illusion, and the inevitable fall of the American myth. Holy Death Temple has crafted a cathartic, high-voltage anthem for the era, and Music Crowns is thrilled to bring you this exclusive first listen.
Press play below and join us in witnessing a band that makes existential dread the life of the party — because sometimes, the only way to survive is to burn it all down and dance through the flames.
