Speaking on the collaboration with The Funeral Portrait, Ivan Moody said, “Before our tour together, I wasn’t too familiar with The Funeral Portrait’s music, so I didn’t know what to expect. But after watching them night after night, seeing how they commanded the stage and connected with the crowd, I was absolutely hooked. The passion, intensity, and raw emotion they bring to their performances make them one of the most exciting new bands out there. And Lee’s voice? Absolutely incredible—one of my favorite new singers! We had talked about collaborating before the tour, but the timing never worked out. Then, while speeding down the highway, I heard ‘Holy Water’ on the radio and couldn’t help but sing along. What an amazing track! It immediately brought back the idea of working together, so I hit up Lee about the possibility of me redoing the song with them. Luckily, he was all in—and here we are….The rest is history.”
“‘Holy Water’ has always been one of the most personal and cathartic songs I’ve ever written,” explains The Funeral Portrait’s Lee Jennings. “It’s about confronting your darkest moments and finding the strength to cleanse yourself of the weight they carry. Seeing the connection its made with fans, especially during our live shows, has been beyond powerful – watching the crowd scream the lyrics back at us is proof that music really can heal. Having Ivan Moody join us on this track took it to another level. His energy, passion, and personal story made him the perfect voice to help tell this chapter, and we couldn’t be more honoured to have him be part of it.”
The deluxe edition of ‘Greetings from Suffocate City’ also features 24 tracks, including new collaborations with Lilith Czar and more.
