Staytus - How To Be A Serial Killer
Staytus delivers her mighty new single, "How To Be A Serial Killer", marking the intense ending of her "Twisted Frames" series.
"How To Be A Serial Killer" explodes with fierce, raw energy, an inner sound strength. It's a powerful fusion of industrial textures and dynamic electronic drive, complete with an modern metal tone. There's a lot of latest electro-synthpop elements, but still, it maintains a solid industrial rock foundation throughout.
Inspired by a distinctive horror-comedy, the song transforms cinematic concepts into a deeply personal statement. It delves with determination into themes of profound emotional suppression and raging anger. The writing confronts loud the cracked identity and the psyche's darker corners. Lyrically, it's startlingly honest, laying bare inner chaos with defiant introspection. Each verse depicts a raw psychological unraveling, a proof to buried pain.
Staytus comments on the new single: “How To Be A Serial Killer is me unmasking my inner chaos. It’s intense, unfiltered, and a little terrifying—just like the film. This song is a metaphor for what happens when pain is left to rot in silence. It’s about the darkest thoughts we never dare to speak, turned into a performance of catharsis. I wanted this final track in the Twisted Frames series to leave a scar.”
The production, overseen by Matt McJunkins of A Perfect Circle, sharpens its emotional edge, highlighting an uncompromising, almost terrifyingly honest acoustical experience. It functions as an emotional search of thoughts typically kept hidden. This final chapter leaves an undeniable mark to its bold vision that truly sticks with you. A soundscape of internal struggle, set to an electrifying beat.
