A Place to Bury Strangers return triumphantly to the darker side of their sound with new single and video, I'm Hurt. The song comes from the band's anticipated sixth full length, See Through You, arriving on February 4th (digitally) and March 11th, 2022 (on vinyl) through Dedstrange.
I'm Hurt is the first in a series of videos from the new album on which A Place to Bury Strangers collaborate with handpicked horror movie directors. Chad Crawford Kinkle (Dementer, Jug Face) brings to life Oliver Ackermann's vision for something downright horrifying and corresponding to the music's gloom, through scenes of gruesome public meltdowns, all linked to a disenchanted woman's black magic ritual which summons vengeful teenage demons.
Oliver Ackermann comments: "I’m Hurt is the sound of friendship dying. At the time of writing this song, I was going out of my mind dwelling on conflict in my head and beating myself down while trying to rebuild my faith in humanity which is reflected in the actual structure of the song. The drums build with this frustration and a desire to scream with no voice. Listen closely to the vocal phrasing of I’m Hurt in the chorus and you can hear the self-doubt and failure I was experiencing at the time."
