In addition to new music, it’s been a perpetually busy year for Mike who is hitting the road with In This Moment, Kim Dracula + I See Stars, as well as a slew of dates with Motionless In White. Mike’s Dead will also make his rounds at AfterShock, Sonic Temple, Louder Than Life, and Welcome to Rockville.
MIKE’S DEAD SHARES OF THE TRACK:
"Bestrafe Mich (Punish Me) is just raw, aggressive sexual energy. Lately I feel like each release grows in power and ambition and Bestrafe Mich is probably one of the most "Mike's Dead" songs I've ever released. I have to be honest I didn't set out with the intention of writing a song like this; Bestrafe Mich started in my notes on my phone. I think I was driving and I remember thinking "punish me would be a really sick song name" and then googled the German translation for it. Weeks later I was working w/ my friend Jonathan who co-produced this with me, and everything just clicked. I wrote that pre chorus "I want you nails under my skin" part in maybe 3 minutes. It was one of those songs that just flowed out instantly and I think that translates to being a phenomenal end product. Insanely excited for people to hear this one (especially live) and get weird."
