"'Other Hells' started as a meditation on the dualistic arts and the interplay of opposing forces in our lives: awake/asleep, physical/spiritual, inhale/exhale."
"This is a constant theme in the work of Ceremony; beauty juxtaposed with the intensity of aggressive music, seeking to create a single, cohesive work through audible, visual, and structural elements."
"Amid the ongoing rise in politics that lean on tribalism and polarizing rhetoric in an attempt to divide, the song responds by aiming to unify, using punk's great liberatory force: the slam."
'Other Hells' marks Ceremony's return after four years, following their 2022 single 'Vanity Spawned by Fear.' The track shifts from their gothic style to an up-tempo punk rock reminiscent of the 1980s. While the song features aggressive guitars and punk vocals, it retains some synth elements. Singer Ross Farrar describes the song as exploring dualistic themes and aims to unify amidst divisive politics, using punk's liberatory force. The release coincides with their recent performances at Coachella and their first concert album, 'Live at the Hollywood Palladium.'
