The record-breaking rock band returns with its first taste of new music in four years
Record-breaking, multi-platinum rock band The Pretty Reckless has released their new single, “For I Am Death,” via Fearless Records. The song marks the beginning of what promises to be a powerful, unpredictable ride through the band’s latest chapter of artistic exploration.
“With ‘For I Am Death,’ I want the music to speak for itself, allowing the listener to decide what it means to them. The interpretation of the song might align with my own, or it might come from the heart of the audience. Either way, I’m excited to see what people take away from it and what it means to them. Oh, and rock and roll will never die,” shares frontwoman Taylor Momsen.
The music video, directed by Lewis Cater, was released alongside the single, which sees Taylor transform into a malevolent and haunting figure. Surrounded by sinister forces, she represents the personification of death that she embodied when writing the song.
The song arrives following their support slot on AC/DC’s massive Power Up stadium tour across North America and Europe, which saw them play to over three million people in iconic venues such as LA’s Rose Bowl, Chicago’s Soldier Field, London’s Wembley Stadium, and Paris’ Stade de France, among others.
Since their debut Light Me Up, they’ve earned global acclaim with hits including “Heaven Knows” and made history as the first female-fronted band to score seven No. 1 singles on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. Their latest album, Death by Rock and Roll, is a visceral exploration of life, loss, and the enduring spirit of rock.
