“Savior” by The Death of Lilies – A Song Feature

     The ability of Adam Bravin to craft songs with compellingly dark instrumentation is unquestioned. During his tenure with She Wants Revenge, he released Darkwave and Goth Rock tracks that remain in regular radio rotation. Bravin recently joined forces with Saint Avangeline as the duo The Death of Lilies. The difference with this current alignment lies in the vocal presence of Saint Avangeline, whose ethereal seductiveness heightens the shadowed atmosphere of Bravin’s soundscapes. Their song “Savior” is a striking example.
 
     The history of “Savior” is an interesting one:
  “The track was written as a theme for Arkhan the Cruel, a powerful and cinematic character from Dungeons and Dragons lore,” notes Bravin. “There was something about Arkhan’s dark, unrelenting energy that shaped the entire sound. When Lily and I first started working together, I played it for her, and the spell that had captured me instantly captured her too. From there, we reshaped it together into something entirely our own."
 
     Bevin also stated:
  “‘Savior’ is about the complicated truth that sometimes the ones who need saving the most end up being the ones who save us. It’s about the quiet strength found in vulnerability, the way pain, when faced, can turn into something powerful and transformative.”
 
     Merging ethereal with raw and unfiltered vocals, Saint Avangeline crafts a striking contrast that mirrors the depths of human emotion. Deeply rooted in her journey with mental health, domestic abuse and growing up queer, her songs offer an honest exploration of inner turmoil, rage, hope, and resilience. Over the course of two albums and several singles, the Atlanta-based artist has amassed a rabid fan base.
