Massive Ego Return with Dark yet Hopeful Single and Music Video: “(My) Death Song”

Release Date: February 6, 2025
Label: Out Of Line Music

Massive Ego, the UK-based dark synth-pop band, is back with their striking new single, “(My) Death Song”. Accompanied by an emotionally charged music video, the track offers listeners a bold evolution in sound—combining dark themes with an unexpected message of hope and self-reflection.

“I’m bruised, but I’m alive,” declares frontman Marc Massive in one of the standout lyrics, setting the tone for a song that journeys from vulnerability to defiance. Opening with softer vocals, the track lures listeners into a false sense of security before delivering a punch of raw emotion, channeled through snarling vocals, gnarly guitars, and climactic synth-driven energy.

Catharsis through Creativity

Reflecting on the track’s deeply personal nature, Marc Massive explains, “This song became a necessary cathartic exercise. I was in such a bad headspace that writing this track helped me work through it. Had I not discovered self-help books, meditation, and professional support, I wouldn’t have made it through. The process of rising from despair has been miraculous for my creativity, and this new album reflects that transformation in every song.”

A New Era for Massive Ego

The single also signals a major shift in the band’s musical direction. Long known for their synth-heavy sound, Massive Ego now incorporates a raw guitar edge that brings a fresh intensity to their music.

Guitarist Porl Young, formerly of Rosetta Stone, describes the experience: “Adding guitars to Massive Ego’s synth-driven sound has been an exciting challenge. ‘(My) Death Song’ gave the guitars space to breathe, allowing for a seamless blend of arpeggios and heavy chords that adds a raw, distorted edge to the electronic foundation.”

Keyboardist Lloyd Price adds: “This single is a real departure from our past work. The combination of electronics with heavy guitars offers a glimpse into the eclectic mix on the upcoming album.”

Visual Evolution

As the band prepares for their 30th anniversary in 2026, drummer Olly Frost—known for his constantly evolving appearance—hints at a new visual direction. “For Marc, his iconic look became both a trademark and a prison. Personally, I intend to explore less makeup-driven styles and focus more on form and color saturation, which fascinates me.”

Looking Ahead

Massive Ego is currently working on a new full-length album while gearing up for a busy live schedule. Their first confirmed performance will be at Germany’s M’era Luna Festival on August 9–10, 2025, with additional dates to be announced soon.
