While industrial tones underpin the track, ‘Cat Eyes’ leans more heavily into its hypnotic trap influences. Fe Malefiz delivers a breathy, seductive vocal performance that flirts with the edge of unhinged, slipping effortlessly between whispered melodies and laid-back rap verses. The German vocals prove especially captivating, adding a sharpness and character that perfectly complement the song’s brooding atmosphere.

Echoing the abandoned, shadowy world of its accompanying video, ‘Cat Eyes’ unfolds with a slow-burning confidence rather than explosive intensity. Mysterious, playful and just a little dangerous, it’s a track that embraces its darker instincts while proving that sometimes the boldest musical choices are the ones worth taking.

Additionally, the band has debuted their new single and horror-inspired music video ‘Mother!’

“As soon as we finished the demo for this song, we knew it would be a single. The lyrics are as heavy as the guitars and it just stuck in our heads,” shares Mann. “We’re equally proud of every song on the album but this song we couldn’t shake. Miri’s vocal performance is so powerful and visual that writing the treatment for the video was easy. We’re both horror movie fanatics so we wanted the visuals to be as memorable as the song itself. Josh Waldby of Arvest Pictures was the only man for the job and he delivered more of a mini movie than a standard music video. The entire crew on that shoot was locked in and helped us create something truly special.”

Adds Malefiz: “‘Mother’ is a song about a frightening world that often feels overwhelming and consuming, filled with inner demons that invite themselves in and refuse to let go. It captures a dark, almost devilish emotional state that weighs heavily on both body and mind.”
