Knife Bride have shared chaotic single ‘alone at the altar’, introducing the character of ‘The Bride’.
Following the release of thrilling single ‘Worthy’ earlier this year, the track collides irresistible pop melody with sharp metal riffs.
Speaking on the story behind ‘alone at the altar’, vocalist Mollie Clack has said:
“‘alone at the altar’ marks both the first edition and the first invitation to meet the bride herself. The vision behind this single was to truly bring her to life in all her chaotic glory – flawed, unhinged, yet undeniably vulnerable.
Drawing inspiration from tracks like ‘Thanks Fr Th Mmrs’ and ‘Misery Business’, we’re resurrecting that raw, unapologetic angst that was so prevalent in the early emo era.
She’s narcissistic, nihilistic, sensational, and shamelessly braggadocious, but there’s a curious streak in her, a fragile glimmer of innocence she still clings to.
The title “alone at the altar” embodies a woman possessed: possessed by desire, by destruction, by the need to hurt others and herself. It’s a visceral exploration of self, told through the eyes of a merciless yet hopelessly romantic bride.”

Knife Bride will be back on the road later this month for a run of shows with Svalbard.
