Greywind Announce New Album “Severed Heart City “
Irish emo-rock powerhouses Greywind have unveiled details of their long-awaited second album Severed Heart City, due for release on 19th September via FLG. The announcement comes hand-in-hand with their new single “Waterfall” – a powerful sweeping anthem full of hooks that deals with themes of unrequited love, self-worth, and sorrow.
“Waterfall is about hopelessly wanting someone to love you but getting absolutely nothing in return and waking up to the fact that they couldn’t care less about you.” says guitarist Paul O’Sullivan. “Recording this song felt like a massive moment in our career – it’s dark, cinematic and has everything we love about music in it.”

Greywind’s journey to this point has been anything but smooth – After the release of their 2017 debut Afterthoughts on a major label – and being unceremoniously dropped despite a wave of buzz – the pair refused to back down. Instead, they cultivated a fiercely loyal fanbase through viral TikToks, which led them to release their 2023 EP Antidote, tour across the UK, Europe, and North America and with their second album on the horizon, they are in the best place they have ever been.
“Severed Heart City is an extended allegory for the stages of trauma, and one’s inner struggle to find resolution,” say Steph and Paul. “There are many roads that lead to the heart of this broken city, but there is only one bridge out – one of acceptance and hope. Our band was created after the suicide of our uncle and since then we’ve been on an intense journey of achieving some of our biggest dreams to then having everything ripped away from us. Severed Heart City is a place where it’s ok to be sad, depressed and feel like the whole world is against you but it’s also a place where you make sure none of those things ever make you give up on yourself or your dreams. Only you can save yourself.”
