The Rasmus have premiered a new song titled “Rest In Pieces.” You can find a lyric video for that track below:
Frontman Lauri Ylönen commented:
“This all started very organically, the story behind the music is that I was betrayed by a friend. I was sad and pissed off at the same time. I wanted to channel my frustration into the music and create what I call a ‘fuck you song’ for revenge. That’s usually the best thing for any artist or creator to do in that situation. You take the emotion and turn it into something powerful. There’s an impulse that comes through and you find the strength to capture it in the form of music to make art. It might seem negative at first, but I wanted this song to also feel empowering to anyone who hears it. There’s that uplifting thing that we do. I would say ‘Rest In Pieces’ is very positive amongst all the intensity.”
