Deadlands share video for The Pretty Wild collab track ‘Kundalini’

 New York-based band DEADLANDS, who joined the Spinefarm roster in 2024, are kicking off 2025 with a vicious new track. The band has shared the video for new single “KUNDALINI,” which is a complete collaboration with The Pretty Wild.

“When we started writing ‘Kundalini,’ everything just felt so natural. CJ [Arey] and I walked into the studio and instantly clicked with The Pretty Wild girls (Jyl and Jules), and of course, Andrew the producer. From the very start, there was an incredible synergy, and we got right down to business. In just two days, we had created something truly special. The experience was infused with divine, feminine energy, and it was nothing short of inspiring,” says Deadlands singer Kasey Karlsen.

She continues, “I’m beyond thankful to have worked alongside such brilliant and badass women. Jyl and Jules brought their unique artistry and creativity to the table, elevating the song to a whole new level. CJ and I were also blown away by Andrew’s immense talent — his contribution was extraordinary, and we’d love to collaborate with him again in the future.”

Karlsen finishes, “‘Kundalini’ is Deadlands’ first-ever collaboration, and it’s an honor to have teamed up with The Pretty Wild.”

Jules from The Pretty Wild also offers a look into the song, saying, “‘Kundalini’ represents the primal, divine energy waiting to awaken, and that untamed force became the heartbeat of this song, a surge of calling out toxic femininity, empowerment, and transformation. We loved channeling that metal-physical edge, stitching together the spiritual and the brutal. Collaborating with Deadlands was an unforgettable journey, and we all poured everything into this beast, we can’t wait to unleash it live.”

“Kundalini” follows the Fall 2024 release of the video for “VILLAIN.” Watch it here.

DEADLANDS are a New York-based band infusing fresh and unexpected energy into traditional post-hardcore. Founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen is used to laying her cards face up on the table, as she has been writing about her toxic relationships, friendships, hardships, and current events, basically all topics that are near and dear to her heart — since she was in high school. She also draws over million followers across platforms, thanks to her compelling content. CJ Arey, professionally known as “NO SHADE,” creates melodies for the guitar and bass while simultaneously inputting his own flare of trap and cinematic references into the production of the music. In 2024, the band headlined shows across the United States while making stops to perform at Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and Blue Ridge Festivals. Deadlands are working on more music for 2025, with tour plans on the horizon. Fans of bands like Asking Alexandria, Motionless In White, Escape the Fate, Falling in Reverse, Wage War, and Bring Me The Horizon will be magnetically drawn to DEADLANDS.
