Metamorph releases 'Harlot' EP on Distortion Productions
Goth pop-rock project Metamorph has released a new EP titled “Harlot” on Distortion Productions, it was released to coincide with the Summer Solstice. The six-track release is available as a digital download and streaming across major platforms including Spotify and Bandcamp.
The “Harlot” EP features the original title track alongside a Metamorph Dance Mix, an instrumental version, and three remixes by Spankthenun, IIOIOIOII, and Allie Frost. Produced by Erik Gustafson, the EP continues Metamorph’s ritualistic approach to releasing music in alignment with the Wheel of the Year.
Vocalist and flutist Margot Day says: “Dance, Harlot, rebel, whore… It’s my body, my fire, my flame.”
Below is the full EP available on Bandcamp.
The release follows the 2024 album “Hex”, issued on March 8 via Distortion Productions. That album included singles such as “Cauldron Bubble Pop”, “Rock the Shadows Roll the Moon”, and a remix of the title track by Stabbing Westward. A video and single for “Hiss Kiss” appeared in January 2025.
Most recently, the project contributed “Dance of a 1000 Miracles” to the compilation “Electronic Saviors 7“, released on May 2, 2025 by Metropolis and Distortion Productions.
The group is preparing to release one new single every six weeks throughout 2025, culminating in a new full-length album titled “Haunted Hearts” later this year.
About Metamorph
The band was founded in 2016 by Margot Day following a personal healing experience. A native New Yorker and former member of the 1980s gothic band the Plague, Day’s early collaborators included Nick Ferrell (Spahn Ranch), Damian (Misfits), and Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys) in her first band, Slow Walk 13. She later formed Sacred with Joey Smur Kryzwonski (Motograter).
In Metamorph, Day works alongside Kurtis Knight, who contributes dark synth, backing vocals, and production elements. The duo’s music blends goth, pop, and electronic styles with mystical and seasonal themes.
Since its formation, Metamorph has performed in the U.S., Canada, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
Margot Day’s discography includes multiple albums, EPs, and singles under both Metamorph and her earlier band the Plague, whose 1986 album “Naraka” is considered a landmark of the NYC goth scene.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
