WOODHAWK Unleashes Powerful New Single “Relapser” From New Album “Love Finds A Way” Out June 2025
Portrait by Mark Kowalchuk
Calgary, Canada’s fuzz rock trio Woodhawk continues to build momentum toward their June album release with today’s drop of “Relapser”, the second single from their upcoming third studio album “Love Finds A Way”, out June 6, 2025, via Grand Hand Records. The explosive track showcases the band’s evolution while staying true to their foundations in heavy, riff-driven rock. The band shares their thoughts on the single:
“This was one of the last few songs we wrote for the album. It really embodied this new step forward we were taking. Through all the growth and change we go through, it can be really defeating to feel like you fall back into old habits or patterns you are trying to get away from. These demons at the door are always there, trying to drag you back down. Nothing feels better than getting away from it. And nothing feels scarier than getting pulled back in.”
According to the band, “Relapser” represents the balance Woodhawk has always been trying to achieve. It’s got the heaviness their fans expect, but with the emotional honesty that’s become increasingly important in their songwriting. This song especially captures that journey of struggling, falling back into old patterns, but ultimately fighting to move forward.
“Love Finds A Way”, marks Woodhawk’s first full-length release in six years, following 2019’s “Violent Nature”, Woodhawk’s distinctive fusion of classic hard rock and modern stoner metal continues to captivate audiences and earn them a devoted fan base and people who enjoy Black Sabbath, The Sword, and Red Fang.
