A fierce, high-octane anthem that pulls zero punches, “BRAINDEAD” fuses Papa Roach’s signature intensity with Morse’s raw punk energy, resulting in a rebellious sonic explosion that declares, “You’ve got one life, one chance, one shot, I don’t wanna waste it like I’m feeling BRAINDEAD“. 

This single marks another splash in Papa Roach’s epic year and follows their latest single “Even If It Kills Me” which has 33M+ streams and has topped global radio charts.

The release of “BRAINDEAD” is accompanied by a lyric video, with a full music video coming in July.

“We wanted to create something that felt urgent, honest, and in-your-face — and bringing Toby in took it to the next level,” says Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix. “This song is a call to wake up before it’s too late.”

“I’ve known Jacoby for over 20 years. Very proud of him with his sobriety. Their passion & hard work is why they are still here and relevant today.” added Toby Morse. “They also live by the one life one chance motto. So it’s a true honour to be on BRAINDEAD sharing these words that we all live by!”
