Holding Poison – Change It All (2025)
Are you ready? Well, you’d best brace yourself as UK-based group Holding Poison is back with vengeance. Their latest single ‘Change It All’ is a blistering dose of cathartic rock, fusing emotional depth with unflinching sonic power. Produced by the renowned Chris Sheldon, known for sculpting the raw intensity of Foo Fighters, Feeder, and Biffy Clyro, ‘Change It All’ is a declaration of intent from a band refusing to hold back.
The song opens with a sharp, hook-laden riff that immediately grabs you by the collar. There’s no slow build here – ‘Change It All’ erupts from the outset, launching into a wave of surging guitar work and a rhythm section that punches with precision and purpose. The drums, courtesy of their powerhouse drummer, anchor the track in a thunderous groove that never lets up.
The bridge offers a striking contrast – a brief and atmospheric interlude where the vulnerability steps forward when noise decreases. But Holding Poison doesn’t dwell in softness for long. The full-throttle finale crashes back in with renewed force; a final act of defiance that sends the track hurtling toward a dramatic close.
What truly elevates ‘Change It All’, however, is its emotional core. Leading vocals hold a weathered urgency, navigating themes of self-doubt and the desperate need to escape mental loops. The lyrics are sharp and self-aware, perfectly capturing the contradiction of repeated mistakes and personal growth. It’s a cathartic refrain, both haunted and triumphant, that resonates long after the song ends.
Fans of anthemic, emotionally charged rock will find plenty to love here. Think the grandeur of early Kings of Leon, the intensity of Biffy Clyro, and the melodic urgency of Feeder, all filtered through Holding Poison’s distinctive lens. The production is tight yet expansive, giving the band room to flex both their muscle and their emotional range.
With ‘Change It All’, Holding Poison proves they’re not just riding the coattails of rock tradition – they’re reshaping it. The track is a battle cry for anyone grappling with personal demons, set to a soundtrack of crashing chords and burning ambition. With more music on the way, this is a band clearly on the rise and ready to change it all.
