Beth Seymour & The Lizzies – Hellboy
Ahead of the release of their debut album ‘You Wouldn’t Like It Inside My Head’ Beth Seymour & The Lizzies release new single ‘Hellboy’.
The album charts the coming out of Beth Seymour as transgender. It’s a musical tour de force and follows the arc of Beth Seymour’s journey from gender dysphoria to finding her true self.
‘Hellboy’ is a reaction against the past. A past that had Beth Seymour questioning her very existence and an inability to understand why she felt the way she did. The song highlights perfectly what can happen when we suffer from the kind of debilitating anxiety that stops us from exploring the more interesting aspects of our identity. This is not a song of redemption, but a narration on the mental turmoil that occurs when we cannot come to terms with who we really are, and it’s set against the backdrop of a punk beat that would get a round of applause from Blink 182.
‘You Wouldn’t Like It Inside My Head’ builds like an anthology on mental health issues. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the album is that it can provide comfort and support to anyone experiencing a state of anguish. ‘You Wouldn’t Like It Inside My Head’ is a testament to resilience in the face of loneliness and self-doubt. The album is set for release on August 28th. Give it a listen, and you’ll be glad you got inside Beth Seymour’s head.
