Holy Wars

About

Holy Wars isn't just a band; it's a sonic exorcism. Led by the raw, emotionally volatile Isabelle “Izzy” Fontaine, the Los Angeles-based project crafts industrial-tinged alt-rock anthems that delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche. Imagine Nine Inch Nails colliding with Garbage in a dimly lit, smoke-filled club. Their sound, steeped in distorted guitars, pulsing electronics, and Fontaine's commanding vocals, draws heavily from industrial rock, grunge, and even a touch of goth. Fontaine's journey through trauma and personal struggle is the lifeblood of Holy Wars. The band's breakthrough came with tracks like "Mother Father," a visceral exploration of familial pain. Since then, they've solidified their reputation with a string of intensely personal and sonically aggressive releases, each one a testament to Fontaine's resilience. Holy Wars has carved a unique niche, resonating with listeners who find solace in catharsis and the unvarnished truth. While direct collaborations are not a defining factor, the band has shared stages with numerous prominent acts, solidifying their position within the alternative music scene. Currently, Holy Wars continues to tour and record, promising to push the boundaries of their sound and further explore the depths of human experience.
