Watch: Nathan James Drops Lost Angeles Video, Preps Hollywood Mortician
Crowdkill artist Nathan James is quickly carving out a name for himself in the modern heavy music scene. A rising force in the my-metal and goth-inspired subcultures, James blends raw vulnerability with theatrical darkness, and the world is starting to take notice. With strong streaming numbers, SiriusXM support, and a fan base that’s rapidly growing thanks to his explosive live performances, James is proving he’s not just another name in the crowd — he’s the one commanding it.
Recently, Nathan James unveiled the official music video for his new single, Lost Angeles. Watch it here.
A haunting and emotionally charged track, Lost Angeles captures the inner turmoil of heartbreak and self-reinvention amidst the superficial glitz of Hollywood. Blending moody melodies with gritty my-metal roots, the song builds into a dark anthem of liberation. “It’s about people in Hollywood bending over backwards and getting f**ked,” James says, not mincing words when it comes to the themes of disillusionment, betrayal, and the masks people wear in the pursuit of fame.
The video, drenched in noir aesthetics and urban isolation, mirrors that sentiment perfectly. Stark shots of Los Angeles’ underbelly are framed against James’ brooding presence, highlighting the tension between outward ambition and inner decay. His lyrics, “You dug a hole for me, but I buried you in it,” resonate as both a warning and a reclamation of power.
Lost Angeles is just a taste of what’s to come. James will release his full-length album Hollywood Mortician on July 11 via Crowdkill. The album, which promises to dive even deeper into themes of alienation, decay, and rebirth, is now available for pre-save.
