“No Trial In The Dark” by The Holy - A Song Feature


     The Holy includes two drummers, a fact that justifies the excitement around the single “No Trial In The Dark.” The powerful percussion is not merely a benefit of the magic of studio recording. The power is possible in a live setting.

     The single begins with a synth swirl and a repeating, appealing guitar hook. The vocals soon join, and the emotional tone of “No Trial In The Dark” is established. The percussion lies in wait for more than a minute and a half. Creatively, The Holy incorporate a quiet piano bridge at 2:37. The song structure is far from conventional, but “No Trial In The Dark” is continuously attractive.

     “No Trial In The Dark” will be on the upcoming album "Mono Freedom," which recently had its release date pushed back to September 18 because of the current state of world health. The Holy is a band from Helsinki, Finland. The members are Eetu Henrik Iivari (vocals, guitar), Laura Kangasniemi (bass,synth), Pyry Peltonen (guitar), Eero Jääskeläinen (percusson), and Mikko Maijala (percusson).

Lyrics of “No Trial In The Dark” by The Holy
You said I look like Cohen
And that my poetry wasn't bad
Like a wide-open highway
Straight into my heart

I wish we'd met in another place
Some other time
Before the wall
Defined us all

Revolution will tear us apart
Throw us into a forest
In the night
There’s no trial in the dark

This city won't weep in the wind
It can take a little fight
You're from the other side
You are the other side

The other side
You are the other side
[Repeating]

I'm waiting for my love to come
Hailing for my only sun
She will be the only one
Who understands the things I've done
The other side
You are the other side
