Adelaide’s rising metal/punk act Lonely Empire intend to make waves with the release of their debut single, ‘Like A Misfit’, out now on Golden Robot Records, across all streaming platforms.
‘Like A Misfit’ is a raw, powerful blend of nu-metal and metalcore, inspired by the struggles of feeling like an outsider. With heavy riffs, relentless energy, and emotionally charged vocals, the song resonates with those who’ve ever felt like they don’t belong.
Lead singer, Lucas Magourilos, said: “The track is based on my own experiences growing up – feeling misunderstood and like an outcast throughout my school years. It’s about realising how, in life, you’re often pressured to follow the collective or face being ridiculed.”
The debut single showcases Lonely Empire’s unapologetic sound and their ability to fuse aggressive instrumentals with deeply personal, relatable themes. Fans of bands like Slipknot, Linkin Park, and Bring Me The Horizon should feel right at home in this adrenaline-fueled anthem.
‘Like A Misfit‘ marks the first taste of what’s to come from Lonely Empire as they carve out their place in the heavy music scene.
