How did “Born A New” come to be?

Indie Singer-songwriter Cat Dowling has been praised over the years for her unique and stylish vocals. Like the ever-overcast skies of the rainy city of Dublin from which she hails her vocals have a dark and evocative quality that blankets you in raw passion and keeps you coming back for more. Dowling is one of those artists that you put on repeat when you’ve had a bad day when the obstacles in life seem insurmountable and you just want to zone out and swim within your own emotions and plunge depths for answers. Her career in music really kicked off around 2001 when she fronted the Irish electropop band “Babelfish” which then became Alphastates” in 2003. The band had some decent success and released one EP and two LP albums over the course of 9 years. At the beginning of 2010, they played their final show together and parted ways amicably, claiming that each of them felt life was simply pulling them in different directions. In an interview in 2010 Dowling had expressed interest in possibly releasing a solo album somewhere down the road, but at the time was too consumed with raising her newborn daughter.

On January 18th, 2022 the Virginia-based metal group Bad Omens dropped a track off their called “Like A Villain” off of their upcoming album The Death of Piece of Mind which is set to release February 25th.
