Alternative
metal outfit Halik Ni Gringo explores themes of social deprivation and
paranoia during the pandemic on their comeback single “HOME ALONE”—the band’s
first release since 2021’s “Injustice For All.”
Written as a response to the challenges that people go through with the surge in COVID infections brought about by the latest Omicron variant, “HOME ALONE” documents a life of new normal with hardly any contact with your friends, family, and the people you normally interact with.
"It's 2022 but it still feels like 2020," says frontman Joey Santos. "We've made huge strides as regards medicine and treating COVID, but progress in The Philippines continues to lag behind our Asian neighbors. The lyrics came quick - I felt like they've been swimming in my head the whole time under lockdown. All I needed to do was fish them out and put pen to paper."
