ØVI unleashes 'Lilith', the venomous opening track from upcoming EP 'Hedera Helix' • GRIMM Gent

ØVI returns with “Lilith,” the searing first single from their forthcoming 2026 EP, Hedera Helix. A venomous ode to entanglement and emotional toxicity, “Lilith” sets the tone for an uncompromising and cathartic body of work.

Serving as the opening chapter of the EP, “Lilith” captures the seductive yet suffocating presence of manipulative forces and is a reflection on those who exploit vulnerability under the guise of intimacy. ØVI draws on the haunting image of poison ivy to illustrate how these figures creep in, beautiful yet parasitic, until they are finally confronted and cut away. It’s a track where attraction collides with revulsion, and clarity rises from the ashes of rage.

Driven by razor-sharp lyricism and a visceral soundscape, “Lilith” pulses with fury honed into focus, anger transformed into power. The track is accompanied by a cinematic music video that further delves into its themes of entrapment, temptation, and liberation, mirroring the song’s spiraling tension and eventual rupture.

“Lilith” also features prominently in the upcoming independent film The Roughneck, adding yet another layer of depth and resonance to the track’s uncompromising energy.

Named after the ivy plant known for its relentless spread and permanence, Hedera Helix is ØVI’s boldest work to date. Across four tracks, the EP explores toxic relationships, parasitic dynamics, and the reclamation of self. Each song vines outward with unchecked intensity, echoing the ivy’s invasive sprawl, not to destroy, but to mark, to grow, and to survive.

Rather than wallow in despair, Hedera Helix transforms pain into propulsion. It’s a soundtrack of confrontation, of breaking cycles, and of embracing rage as a form of renewal. ØVI’s message is clear: vulnerability is not weakness, and survival is not silence.
