Frontman Patrick Glover commented on the song, sharing:
“I normally tend to write songs from a place of personal experience but every now and then I like to get out of my own head and write about something completely off the wall, and ‘Unholy’ is definitely one of those songs. ‘Unholy’ is all about being possessed by a demon and being controlled from the inside out. I tried to tap into what it might be like to feel their presence beneath your skin, influencing your every move and infiltrating your every thought until you’re forced to submit.
I really wanted to lean into the horror imagery in the lyrics and leave almost nothing up to interpretation, and it was super important to me to really convey the desperation and intensity of the vocals. I wanted the listener to really feel the ‘clawing under my skin’ and ‘gnawing out of my head,’ as well as the frantic delivery in the screams and instrumentals. I probably pushed my vocals harder than I ever have while recording ‘Unholy’, and it ended up being one of my favorite songs we’ve ever written. So stoked to share this one with everybody.”
