Following last month’s lead single Anti-Fetish, Vexed have now unveiled the next track from their upcoming album Negative Energy.

The band’s new one goes by the very emo name X my <3 (Hope to die), but given this is Vexed it’s naturally another crushingly heavy rager with a sinister accompanying video.

And Vexed reveal that this song in particular was the “catalyst” for Negative Energy as a whole…

“After months of writer’s block and feeling like giving up, this song opened the floodgates for inspiration and creativity,” the band say. “Inspired by the victims of religious extremists, cults or abuse of power, this song is about how one person shouldn’t be able to dictate other people’s lives based on their own personal opinions.”
