London trio Saint Agnes are gearing up for the May 29 release of their new Spinefarm album, Your God Fearing Days Are About To Begin, and they’ve just dropped a fiery new single — and accompanying video — called “Get Them Out.” It’s the kind of track that revs, snarls, and refuses to let you breathe, and it just so happens to come paired with a video that genuflects at the altar of one of the most iconic clips in alt-rock history.

Yes, that’s right: the “Get Them Out” visualizer is a direct homage to Nine Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs.” One take. No edits. Make-up artist cameo and all. If you grew up rewinding the VHS just to watch Trent Reznor stumble back to the mic, you’re going to feel something here.

Frontperson Kitty A. Austen wrote the song for a friend who couldn’t shake the bullying voice in his own head. “I wanted him to see himself the way I do, as a beautiful person, and to treat himself better,” she explains. “This is my favorite riff on the record: it’s a constant, revving build-up of tension, like an agitated, mental state that allows for no comfort or resolution.”

Mixed by Jim Pinder (Sleep Token, Bring Me The Horizon), “Get Them Out” set the sonic blueprint for the whole record — crushing, spitty industrial energy balanced against expansive, melancholic beauty. It’s a tightrope walk that Saint Agnes have been refining for years, and it sounds like they’ve finally cracked the code.

On the NIN tribute, Kitty is characteristically self-aware: “We had an hour to spare at the end of filming for another song so we decided to do a one-take, live rendition of ‘Get Them Out’ as an homage to our favourite music video of all time. I’m sure people will hate us for it.” (Spoiler: they won’t.)

Saint Agnes are also hitting the road hard. They’re playing two May dates with Alt Blk Era, joining Black Veil Brides for a UK and European run in June, and returning to 2000 Trees festival in early July.
