SiM release new music video for ‘KiSS OF DEATH’

SIM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track KiSS OF DEATH, is taken from the Japanese alternative metal band’s upcoming new album, PLAYDEAD, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist MAH says, “those of you who’ve read the Japanese translation may be sharp enough to have noticed that the hook, ‘play back, play back’, is a parody of MOMOE YAMAGUCHI’s Playback Part 2, a masterpiece from Japanese pop music. The title KiSS OF DEATH is based on the famous story of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus Christ. He becomes the ‘symbol of betrayal’ in the episode where he kisses him and identifies him as Jesus Christ, sending a sign to the enemy soldiers. But my version of the KiSS OF DEATH is Rougela’s ‘Devil’s Kiss’ (Akuma’s Kiss) from Pokémon (LOL). (In the overseas version, Rougela’s known as Jynx / Lovely Kiss is its power. Feels strange…) The lyrics describe a scenario where you are walking and suddenly a female vampire appears and gives you a Devil’s Kiss, causing you to fall asleep while she drinks your blood.”
