Australian industrial rockers Our Last Enemy return, following the release of their well received 2022 album, As Above So Below. The band's new single, Slay For Me was produced by DW Norton and features John Sankey (Fear Factory, Divine Heresy) on drums.
The song's theme takes aim at the false sentimentality of the modern era, which is expressed through 'thoughts and prayers,' and challenges it with a rallying call for action.
Slay For Me encapsulates the band's rigorous industrial riffs and synthesizer enhancements, as well as their memorable songwriting hooks which are ready for the live arena.
The single is accompanied by a surreal music clip that, for the astute viewer, includes an allusion to their first video for 10,000 Headless Horses in the form of a guest appearance character. The clip serves as a cross between a Mad Max post-apocalyptic road trip and a David Lynch fever dream.
