The brand new band Pain Magazine (a collaborative project featuring French post-hardcore trio Birds in Row and Franco-American industrial techno duo Maelstrom & Louisahhh) is releasing today a new single / video “Dead Meat”.
Pain Magazine, the thrilling new union of industrial techno duo Maelstrom and Louisahhh with post-hardcore trio Birds inRow and singer-songwriter Quentin Sauvé, unleashes their new single 'Dead
Meat' through raw rhythms and stark melodies.
The most approachable track on their forthcoming record, Violent God (Humus Records Oct 3, 2025), 'Dead Meat' fuses rage with clarity, driven by insistent power pop guitars and unshakable
hooks.
"It's about waking up to an addictive relationship crumbling, the feeling of being sick and tired of being sick and tired," says lyricist and vocalist Louisahhh. The declaration "I'm done with
your emotional labor/thought that was love but notanymore" echoes writer Audre Lorde's examination of gendered emotional burden—though relationship dysfunctiontranscends such boundaries.Unlike
anything in the members' past catalogs, this single encapsulates an emotional urgency and a melancholic beauty with a punk attitude that is becoming the signature of Pain Magazine.
