Pop Evil have released a video for the lead single, “Trenches” off their album “Onyx,” and it could not have made more of a statement.  The video follows a woman who is struggling with both domestic violence and a nasty drug habit thanks to her abusive junkie boyfriend, and how she finds the strength within herself to take control of her life.  We see the fight while listening to powerful snarled-out lyrics like:

“I’ve waited all my life to get out of the trenches
I’m ready to fight for what I believe you can steal from me
I won’t take this
Gonna fill these trenches and stand up
Wake up, I won’t give up
Cause here I come, here I come, yeah!”

By the end of the song, anyone with a heart will not only have chills, but even more respect for the talented men in Pop Evil.  It takes a great band to gracefully tackle such sensitive issues, but Evil absolutely nails it, and I can’t say enough good things about both the video and the band.  You can check out “Trenches” below.

Even though the rockers of Pop Evil are just finishing up their latest album, they were so eager to share some new music with their fans that they released a new single, “Trenches,” on their official Facebook page today.  From the first play, “Trenches,” off the band’s new album, “Onyx,” will have you turning up the volume and screaming the aggressive, heartfelt lyrics.  When asked about the inspiration for the song, Pop Evil frontman Leigh Kakaty explained:

“It’s about our battles. Not focusing on the things we can’t control, if we really want to be a band that stands the test of time we have to write the music that connects. We have to dig our way out of the trenches.”

The songs mixture of powerful vocals, incredible drumming, and insane guitar riffs will have you riled up and looking for a fight in no time, and if you’re anything like me, will become one of your new favorites.  You can take a listen to “Trenches” below, and make sure to mark your calendars for March 14th, Pop Evil’s when “Onyx” is due for release!
