Watch out, people! That hyper-feisty, electro-industrial, tour de force Staytus has just released the final single from her Twisted Frames Series and it rounds off everything with quite a blast.
Opening with the line "tie you to the bed, bash you over the head", How To Be A Serial Killer gives you an immediate jolt of knowledge that this time, for sure, Staytus is not messing around with pleasantries. The song continues with an itinerary of attack plans befitting a mass murderer, all punched through at a thumping tempo with appropriate axe-wielding, guitar mania slicing up the beats.
The track was inspired by the cult horror-comedy film with lyrics that confront themes of repression, rage, and fractured identity. As Staytus explains "the 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".
How To Be A Serial Killer certainly enters with a head-turning presence, causes quite a stir and then leaves having made a lasting impression. It is an excellent curtain-closer for this set of her recordings. Keep an eye out for the video which premieres on June 12th.
