Fast-rising U.S. metal powerhouse, BRAT, today releases a music video for the new song, “Spit on His Grave“. The payback-pushing track appears on BRAT‘s new album, ‘Manslayer’, a record that sees BRAT vocalist, Liz Selfish, pen trope-turning lyrics of women’s revenge, in which they take their power back. Inspired by country music songs like “Goodbye Earl” by The Chicks, “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood, and “Gunpowder & Lead” by Miranda Lambert, the thematic angle of ‘Manslayer’ introduces a fresh new perspective to underground metal, causing NPR to proclaim, “BRAT is poised to celebrate its true breakthrough with Manslayer, a record destined to become essential listening in the metal genre.”
The release of the new BRAT video, directed by Jeff Van Gerwen. advances the band’s United Kingdom run of headlining live dates, which kick off on October 28.
“Spit on His Grave” is one of our favorite songs to play live!,” says Selfish. “It’s a very in-your-face, high energy song, and in true BRAT form we wanted to make the video campy and high energy as well.”
