10-year plus veterans Blood Command have released their third single of the year titled “The End is Her”. This follows up “A Villain’s Monologue” which saw the debut of Nikki Brumen. The track can be listened to below.
The then Norwegian based band made their debut with the EP Five Inches of a Car Accident in 2008. Two years later, their debut Ghostlocks released which saw the group begin to the rise in the scene. Since, they have added two albums and an EP to their discography with their most recent body of work being the EP Return of the Arsonist. Brumen (formerly of Pagan) is the third vocalist of the self-described death pop band, she takes the reigns from previous vocalist Silje Tombre.
Blood Command’s Yngve Andersen comments: “”The End is Her” is for the losers, for the wallflowers and for the people who never quite fit in. It’s a song about feeling so invisible that no matter how loud you scream, no one will hear you. For anyone who burns so brightly but nobody else sees even a flicker of the flame.
“I wrote the lyrics at time when I was feeling weak and alone but used this darkness as ammo to become stronger. You never know what is going on in someone’s mind or what they are capable of, so I want this song to remind people to never underestimate the outcasts. That we have the ability to use the doubt of others to ignite something inside of us – to strike a match and light the world on fire.
“It felt right to release this track next, as this was the first song I showed Nikki when I first asked her to join the band. I knew she could scream, but I’d never heard her actually sing, so I gave her this song to record and send back to me, just to make sure she was the right fit. I was actually playing a show when she sent the demo back and let’s just say, I partied really hard that night. It was a dream come true.
“We’ve shown the heavier side of the new era of Blood Command with A Villain’s Monologue. Now it’s time to shake it up with ‘The End is Her’ – quintessential Death Pop, this is the anthem for anyone who has ever thought it won’t get better but has found solace in realising they aren’t the only one who is suffering.”
