PVRIS Return with Hypnotizing New Single, “Death of Me” Leaving behind the monochromatic aesthetics of their debut and sophomore albums, Massachusetts rockers PVRIS bring a close to 2017’s All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell era and head into a new one with the release of “Death of Me” in a pop of deep crimson red. PVRIS fans everywhere went into a frenzy when the band’s social media accounts, all of which remained inactive during the trio’s betweenalbum resting period, posted a singular photo: a monochrome image of the band in what seems to be an abandoned site, surrounded by dormant companions whose eyes, like the band’s, are
scratched out in a deep, grading-pen-like red. Excitement continued to stir when on the following day, the band posted some lyrics on a red background. The lyrics read: ‘You could chain me up or set me free, you could suffocate or let me breathe… Baby you could be the.’ What followed were blank spaces making up three unknown words, the continuation of the lyrics and presumably the name of a new single. Within a moment’s notice, fans had cracked the code. Certain letters in the lyrics had been underlined, creating a jumbled consortium of gibberish. The unscrambled product? “Death of Me.”
