| Pain Magazine (Birds in Row + Maelstrom and Louisahhh + Quentin Sauvé) releases their second single “Dead Meat”. Pain Magazine, the thrilling new union of industrial techno duo Maelstrom and Louisahhh with post-hardcore trio Birds in Row and singer-songwriter Quentin Sauvé, unleashes their new single ‘Dead Meat’ through raw rhythms and stark melodies. The most approachable track on their forthcoming record, Violent God (Humus Records Oct 3, 2025), ‘Dead Meat’ fuses rage with clarity, driven by insistent power pop guitars and unshakable hooks. « It’s about waking up to an addictive relationship crumbling, the feeling of being sick and tired of being sick and tired, » says lyricist and vocalist Louisahhh. The declaration « I’m done with your emotional labor/ thought that was love but not anymore » echoes writer Audre Lorde’s examination of gendered emotional burden—though relationship dysfunction transcends such boundaries. Unlike anything in the members’ past catalogs, this single encapsulates an emotional urgency and a melancholic beauty with a punk attitude that is becoming the signature of Pain Magazine. |
