If there’s one artist who can turn the seven deadly sins into a theatrical, head-banging, blood-soaked (well, strawberry-sauce-soaked) musical pilgrimage, it’s Brocarde. The UK’s reigning dark metal mystic — yes, the same one who famously married and then exorcised the ghost of a Victorian soldier — is back with “Seven Sins,” her most ambitious release yet, and she’s brought KoRn’s Ray Luzier along for the ride.

Premiering today at BraveWords, “Seven Sins” is a sprawling, shape-shifting epic that pulls listeners through every chamber of the soul. As Brocarde puts it, the track captures “the seven deadly sins of a relationship, the phases of love and passion, how somebody can provoke every emotion that you have to give.” The journey kicks off with lust — those first magical sparks — and unravels from falling in love to falling out, leaving you, in true Brocarde fashion, yearning for more.

This isn’t her first time in the studio with Ray Luzier, either. The legendary KoRn drummer previously laid down the kit work on her 2020 single “Love Me ‘Til I’m Beautiful,” and clearly the chemistry was too good to ignore. Luzier raves, “I love Brocarde’s very unique vocal style and vibe… she has mass aggression to sweetness and everything in between in her voice! The very interesting song arrangements and theatrical segments make the whole package a dynamic, fun adventure to listen to. I see great things ahead for her!”

In the lead-up to release, Brocarde teased her 250K-strong following with a seven-day rollout — one sin per day, May 8 through May 13 — each with its own bespoke visual world. Lust arrived clutching a snake in a scarlet dress, Eden-style. Gluttony went full grindhouse with butcher’s aprons and gallons of “blood.” Greed turned sarcastic in a kitchen full of eggs. Sloth came dusted with pixie magic (“satin sheets will smother ambition” — a lyric that hits harder than it has any right to). Wrath took flight on the chaotic “Brocarde Airways,” part marching band, part cheerleader, part fed-up pilot. Envy held up a mirror to self-doubt and comparison culture. And Pride closed the chapter in a library, ball gown and all, with the future already written.

The result is a body of work that feels less like a single and more like a fever dream — equal parts Edgar Allan Poe, Sylvia Plath, the Addams family, and Kate Bush on what Planet Rock Magazine memorably described as “a terrifying acid trip.”

“Seven Sins” is the appetizer for Brocarde’s long-awaited debut album, “Good Attendance At Sunday School,” landing June 5, 2026 — a record ten years in the making from one of rock’s most fearlessly theatrical new voices. With cosigns already in hand from the likes of David Coverdale (who called her “electrifying” and “powerful stuff”) and Kerrang!, Planet Rock, and BBC Introducing all spinning her work, this is shaping up to be the genre debut to watch in 2026.

Mark your calendars for June 5, 2026, pre-save “Good Attendance At Sunday School,” and follow Brocarde at brocarde.com — just maybe don’t accept any wedding invitations from any Victorian ghosts in the meantime.
