The singer broke through with his single ‘Take Me To Church’ and his self-titled debut album landed at number 2 on the Billboard 200. The follow up ‘Wasteland, Baby!’ was released to massive critical acclaim in March 2019, entering the US Billboard Top 200 Chart at number 1.

Last year Hozier teamed up with ‘God of War: Ragnarok’s composer, Bear McCreary to write the song ‘Blood Upon The Snow’, which was featured in the soundtrack for the game. The same year he also released ‘Swan Upon Leda’, in a statement shared alongside the release, the star explained that he was sharing the track as a way of showing “solidarity” with those fighting for reproductive rights.
