After a long 2 year wait since the release of Set It Off's 3rd studio album 'Upside Down', the 4 piece have returned with a new single, as well as a new label. Along with the announcement of the band signing to Fearless Records (known for signing such bands as; As It Is, Pierce The Veil, August Burns Red, The Maine, Movements and Mayday Parade to name a few) Set It Off dropped a new single as well as a video for "Killer In The Mirror." This comes as a pleasant surprise to fans of Set It Off after the band posted on their social medias that they were filming a music video and were in need of extras. After much teasing of the video through a variety of teaser videos posted to the bands YouTube page and photos of the band writing and hinting at their 4th album over the past few months it's nice to be able to confirm that a new Set It Off era is approaching.
The song itself is a nice mixture of the bands debut album "Cinematics" with the aggressive, some what darker lyrics and their most recent album "Upside Down" with more heavier undertones. The song has a very catchy chorus that will most definitely get stuck in your head! The vibe of the song keeps the pop-rock direction Set It Off is known for, but you can hear the evolution in the music when compared to their past work. Killer In The Mirror is a song that can be listened to in any situation and will still be an enjoyable time. With lead singer Cody Carson's vocals, you are treated to a "dark" song with lyrics that warn the listeners about people in the world who want to do you wrong. With warnings about fake friends and how anybody can turn on you no matter what, you always need to "never let ya guard down" and be tough in order to survive in today's world.
