A KILLER’S CONFESSION have returned with “Roses,” a dark and defiant new single from the band’s forthcoming sixth studio album, Victim 3, due November 13th via MNRK Heavy. The song arrives today alongside an official music video directed and produced by Dusten Boles.
Led by vocalist Waylon Reavis, “Roses” turns feelings of disappointment, neglect and unfulfilled expectations into a statement about abandoning the need for outside approval. Rather than waiting for recognition that may never come, the track embraces the freedom of knowing your own reasons for the choices you make—even when no one else acknowledges them.
Reavis explains:“Roses was written from a point of view of where everything that you have done was in vain. We’ve all been to that point of feeling unappreciated, but I feel like roses is a statement of it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you and only you know why you did it. In the end, never look for a pat on the back, because you’ll never get the acknowledgment that you’re seeking. There will be no roses on my grave.”

“Roses” follows the recent release of A KILLER’S CONFESSION’s haunting, stripped-back interpretation of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” The unexpected cover showcased a different side of the band, dialing down the heaviness to put Reavis’ voice and the song’s underlying melancholy front and center.
