Dumbfoundead releases new single ‘Kill Me’

Shortly after releasing ‘P.A.A.C. (Protect At All Cost)‘ earlier this week, Dumbfoundead dropped his latest single ‘Kill Me.’

Dumbfoundead writes”

“Kill me” is a track about love and hate. When you’re in love, you’re pushed to the limits, and you feel like it’s ‘killing you’. When someone falls in love, he makes himself feel emotionally, spiritually, and physically reaching the limit, feeling as if he is as dead as he is, but alive more than ever.”

Check out the official audio with the visuals below! The track is available on Spotify and Apple Music, as well as Korean music portals.

The EP ‘Rocket Man‘ drops on December 12.

Only a week after ‘Every Last Drop‘, Dumbfoundead pre-releases the single ‘P.A.A.C. (Protect At All Cost)‘ off his upcoming EP.

“In the current world we live in, it seems nobody is safe. Even the figures we’re supposed to trust in our society seem to have failed us.

Dumbfoundead - Foreigner (album cover)

Dumbfoundead: Foreigner EP Album Review

There’s nothing pretty or soft about Foreigner. Dumbfoundead is savage in a way that will have those with weak constitutions clutching their pearls. No one would ever accuse the artist of being anything but raw and honest. But Foreigner finds him at his most vicious and impassioned. There’s a distinct bite and snarl across these five tracks, something that’s a sharper at the edges than much that’s come out South Korea this year. He claws his way into the listener’s psyche. You must deal with him. We have no room here for the narrow- and frail-minded. There’s obviously something to going back to one’s ancestral homeland to create.
