Melbourne nu metalcore outfit Bad Juju have today released their new single The Weight of Water, the band’s first release via new label home Easy Life Records (Softcult, Normandie and Lonely The Brave).
Recorded with Chris Lalic of Windwaker, the track builds on the sonic world of their previous EP ‘Simulacra’ and continues to develop the band’s sound. Driven by a bouncy sledgehammer riff, nu metal groove, moody alternative rock atmosphere, and flashes of hardcore energy, the single introduces Bad Juju’s partnership with the UK-based label and signals the beginning of a new chapter.
Speaking on their new single, vocalist Russell Holland shares “The Weight of Water is the band’s heaviest release to date. The lyrics confront the end of a long-term friendship, where bad behaviour was ignored until the illusion finally cracked. As the ‘high’ wears off, you see the truth, cut the deadweight, and walk away. It’s raw, confrontational, and unapologetic, capturing the moment denial ends and self-preservation takes over.”
Bad Juju craft heavy, immersive songs that fuse crushing guitars with dark atmospheric melodic hooks and nostalgic nu metal textures. Their sound exists between aggression and introspection — where weight, mood and tension collide.
They’ve shared stages with artists including LANDMVRKS, Loathe, Movements, Boston Manor, Touché Amoré and Teenage Wrist, reflecting the band’s natural alignment with both heavy acts and modern alternative artists.
Last year’s EP ‘Simulacra’ represents a defining chapter for the band, pushing further into layered production, sharper songwriting and a more aggressive sonic identity while maintaining their balance of mood and melody. Singles such as Simulacra, Incision (Cut You Out) and Honey showcase Bad Juju at their most powerful, blending brooding tension, soaring choruses and visceral impact.
