September 19th, 2025 – Goth pop artist, METAMORPH has announced the release of Haunted Hearts XIII – the new full-length album via Distortion Productions.
Haunted Hearts XIII is a collection of spells—conjured over the span of a year, now bound together in one body. Dropped in rhythm with moonlight and fire, each of these thirteen tracks followed the arc of the turning year. Now they move together—one body, one pulse, one spell. At the heart is “Haunted Hearts”-the unreleased title track and newest spell in the METAMORPH grimoire. It arrives cloaked in smoke and longing, a dark pop anthem of devotion, ache, and flame-fed desire.
Surrounding the title track are the bangers that sparked the spell—”Cauldron Bubble Pop”, “Rock the Shadows Roll the Moon”, “Hiss Kiss”, “Crown of Shattered Glass”, and “Harlot” – songs that already haunt playlists and shimmer across late-night dance floors. Following them, the remixes slide in like perfume and smoke—twisted reflections conjured by Mechanical Vein, Paradox Obscur, IIOIOIOII, Allie Frost, Spankthenun, and METAMORPH’s own beloved dance mixes, long pulsing through the underworld. These tracks weren’t added—they were summoned. Chosen for how they breathe together. Most have already slipped into the world one by one, but here, as a single ritual, they move like a spell finally spoken in full. The new unreleased track: the Spankthenun Extended Mix of “Harlot”—arrives now like a last kiss you weren’t supposed to want.
“Erik Gustafson masterfully produces. My vocals and flute conjure the spell, and at the heart is the love Kurtis Knight and I share—bandmates and twin flames in the gothic fairytale of METAMORPH.” — Margot Day

In the realm of Goth Pop, METAMORPH emerges as a mystical force. Starring native New Yorker, multi-range vocalist, flute player, and songwriter Margot Day, who was an integral part of the 80s NYC goth scene while fronting the legendary band The Plague with notable drummers Nick Ferrell (Spahn Ranch) and Damian (Misfits). Margot Day was bandmates with Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys in her first band, Slow Walk 13, and later with Joey Smur Kryzwonski (Motograter) in her project Sacred. By her side in METAMORPH, Kurtis Knight conjures luscious dance vibes, dark synth, and backup vocals. Together, they fuse tech and magic to deliver shows that are danceable, otherworldly, and intoxicating.
The Haunted Hearts XIII era began in Fall 2024, when METAMORPH launched a year-long series of singles, remixes, and videos leading up to the full album. Each drop in 2025 aligned with the witchy Sabbats, following the Wheel of the Year with a new single or dance mix every six weeks. This spellbinding cycle is culminating now with this release of Haunted Hearts XIII on September 19, 2025—a fierce, flirtatious, and otherworldly collection of goth-pop bangers, love spells, and shadow-drenched anthems from the edge of the veil.
The album from Distortion Productions features the brand-new incantation title track “Haunted Hearts,” and celebrates a year’s worth of irresistible releases. Starting with “Cauldron Bubble Pop” and “Rock the Shadows Roll the Moon” in late 2024 and building through 2025 with crowd favorites like “Hiss Kiss,” “Crown of Shattered Glass,” and the Harlot EP, Haunted Hearts XIII brings together the full force of METAMORPH’s wild, witchy, and wickedly catchy world. With today’s release, the spell is finally complete.
This new chapter follows the trail of the HEX album (3/8/24 via Distortion Productions) and Kiss of the Witch (2022), and dances alongside METAMORPH’s standalone track “Dance of a 1000 Miracles,” released 5/2/25 on Metropolis and Distortion Productions for the Electronic Saviors 7 compilation—already conjuring over 18,000 Spotify streams.
Multiple albums, EPs, and singles appear throughout the Margot Day discography, most notably SACRED (1999) and The Plague’s Naraka (1986).
After a profound healing in 2016, Margot Day established METAMORPH. The METAMORPH Music Channel on YouTube chronicles this journey, captivating over 200,000 viewers with bewitching music videos.
Traveling with their tiny mascot Melody, METAMORPH has taken to stages across the US, Canada, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
METAMORPH invites you to embrace the allure—and awaken your inner witch, vampire, superhero, or wizard.
