Dead Posey, the Los Angeles-based goth-punk duo known for their raw sound and rebellious spirit, has released the music video for their latest single, “Scar”. This track serves as the final piece on their debut album, “Are You In A Cult?“, and it is one of their most personal and emotionally works to date.
“Scar” explores the darker corners of the human psyche, exploring emotional and physical scars as marks of resilience rather than weakness. Danyell Souza, the band’s enigmatic vocalist, describes the song as a “cathartic lullaby for all those going through their own dark nights of the soul”. The track reflects the pain of feeling beaten down by the world while offering a glimmer of hope through acceptance and healing.
“This is the most vulnerable song we’ve written to date, and the last one we recorded for the album. It comes from the demons lurking in the corners of my mind and the monsters I feel creeping in the night – that feeling you get when you’re beat down by the world and don’t know how you’ll make it through. It’s a cathartic lullaby for all those that are lost going through their own dark nights of the soul. When we admit the pain is real – that’s when healing takes place and we can learn to live with the scars.”
In the music video, the band uses chilling imagery to bring the song’s themes to life. Shadows, intimate close-ups, and obscure lighting create an unsettling yet deeply personal atmosphere, pulling viewers into the song’s narrative. The visual storytelling mirrors the emotional depth of the lyrics, making it a standout piece in Dead Posey’s repertoire.
The release of “Scar” and its video is part of the rollout for Dead Posey’s debut album, “Are You In A Cult?“, which dropped earlier this fall. The album examines modern societal dynamics, exploring the concept of “mini-cults” formed around influencers, political leaders, and ideologies. With a blend of gothic aesthetics, punk rebellion, and hints of ’80s synth-pop, the album solidifies the band’s unique identity.
Since their formation, Dead Posey has carved out a space in the rock world with electrifying performances and a distinctive sound. With tracks featured in TV shows like Lucifer and Teen Wolf, as well as on major festival stages like Download and Mad Cool, the duo has proven they are a force to be reckoned with. “Are You In A Cult?” is their rallying cry for anyone ready to embrace their darker, rebellious side.
