Grammy-winning Rock band Greta Van Fleet published their brand new track “Sacred The Thread” from upcoming third album “Starcatcher” out July 21, 2023 via Lava/Republic/EMI Records.
âI always like to think that some peopleâs first impression of Greta Van Fleet in concert is, âWow, these guys really like dressing to the left and blowing shit up,ââ notes frontperson Josh Kiszka, adding: âthis song is particularly important to me because itâs about my jumpsuits.â
âSacred The Threadâ is an epic, mid-tempo track that blends Classic Rock Heaviness with an aura of mysticism and wonder. From the levee-breaking drum intro forward, Greta Van Fleet show us the kind of expansive songwriting and expressive musicianship that has long been thought extinct. Thankfully, itâs alive and well in the hands of young musicians willing to do things the real way. Lead singer Josh Kiszka soars above the groove while his brother, guitarist Jake Kiszka crafts riffs and textures that satisfy. The songâs visualizer is just as cryptic and majestic as you want it to be and adds even more space to the vibe. Let this one into your head and itâll never leave.

“Sacred The Threadâ is the latest track to be unveiled from the bandâs highly anticipated forthcoming third studio album “Starcatcher,” due out on July 21, 2023 via Lava/Republic/EMI Records.
âWe didnât really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that happened was very instinctual,â Jake says. âIf anything, the record is our perspective, and sums up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.â
Throughout the ten-song collection the band explores the duality of fantasy versus reality and the contrast between light and darkness. âWe had this idea that we wanted to tell these stories to build a universe,â says Wagner. âWe wanted to introduce characters and motifs and these ideas that would come about here and there throughout our careers through this world.â
The band took multiple concepts from critically acclaimed second album “The Battle at Gardenâs Gate” and brought them into “Starcatcher,” although Samâs take on the new recordâs big ideas hint instead at new beginnings. âWhen I imagine the world of Starcatcher, I think of the cosmos,â he says. âIt makes me ask a lot of questions, like âWhere did we come from?â or âWhat are we doing here?â But itâs also questions like, âWhat is this consciousness that we have, and where did it come from?ââ
The band are best known for their renowned live performances, selling over one million tickets worldwide. They sold out their entire 2022 arena tour, holding a special energy between them and their devoted fans. With “Starcatcher” the band aims to capture that energy in the recording studio.
Greta Van Fleetâs debut LP, “Anthem of the Peaceful Army” was released in 2018 to countless accolades including #1 Billboard Rock Album and Top 3 on the Billboard 200. Their “From The Fires” EP, released in 2017, won Best Rock Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.
Forming in Frankenmuth, Michigan in 2012, Greta Van Fleet consists of three brothers – vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka and bassist/keyboardist – as well as drummer Danny Wagner. Together they have performed across multiple continents and sold over 3.5 million records worldwide.
