Three Days Grace - Riot | Matt Walst

"They lit the fire. I became the flame."

Burn the Witch is a fierce hard rock anthem about the fury of being scapegoated. Gritty female vocals cut through crushing guitars and pounding drums, turning betrayal into raw, unrelenting power.

Burn the Witch

[Verse]
She walks in bold like she owns the night
Eyes like fire but her heart’s airtight
Taking names with a smirk so sly
A storm in heels beneath the sky

[Verse 2]
Oblivious to ripples her chaos spins
Her game of havoc she always wins
She talks in riddles that spark like flame
Untouchable girl without a name

[Chorus]
Queen of chaos reigning wild
Breaking rules since she was a child
She doesn’t care what’s left behind
She’s the hurricane messing with your mind

[Verse 3]
Fingers trace through the smoke she makes
Her laughter roars in her storm of fakes
The room’s alive and it’s hers to claim
She’s here to rule she won’t explain

[Bridge]
Lines she crosses are invisible threads
Written in stories that are never read
She struts like thunder with a heart unchecked
Ignorant to damage she’ll surely collect

[Chorus]
Queen of chaos reigning wild
Breaking rules since she was a child
She doesn’t care what’s left behind
She’s the hurricane messing with your mind

Queen of Chaos

NOT MY FUCKIN' PROBLEM

The UK’s next-wave hard rockers Matted will release their 3rd single ‘Gaslight’ on 7th October 2025.
‘Gaslight’ follows on from their first two singles, ‘Material’ (Feb 2025) and ‘Flowers and Chains’ (Jun 2025) and throws its weight around, revealing an even punchier edge to this innovative band’s developing sound. The 5-piece are influenced by a love of rock music in all its forms.  Grunge, metal, classic, nu, rap, hip-hop and industrial can all be identified here. However, Matted’s fusion of big riffs, melodic vocals and in-your-face drums comes with an irreverence, camaraderie and a cheeky grin creating something fresh and exciting. 

‘Gaslight’ is the third song from the band’s studio sessions with McFly’s Harry Judd and Danny Jones in the producer’s chairs and has been mixed by Lewis Johns. 
Since launching in May 2024, Matted have performed at Download Festival, Call of the Wild and Planet Rockstock, supported Crashface, Armored Saint and Von Hertzen Brothers, and headlined shows in London and Brighton. Radio support has come from BBC Introducing, Total Rock, and Kerrang! Radio, with the latter naming them finalists in The Deal competition 2025.  The hashtag #mattedismassive which the band have adopted, was inspired by an on-air quote from a BBC radio presenter.

-X- SEEK DEEP -X- LOUDER NOW -X-

The song delves into the harrowing dissolution of self amid creeping dissociation, where familiar rooms warp into glitchy illusions and thoughts loop in a twitching haze, evoking the terror of a mind fraying at its edges like a thread pulled too thin. Through percussive rap verses and swirling breakdowns, it captures the futile grasp for solidity—mirrors reflecting strangers, clocks trembling in crooked arcs—as reality unravels not in catastrophe but in subtle, silent retreat, leaving echoes of a life led in the in-between. Ultimately, it whispers a poignant defiance against erasure, a fragmented plea to hold ground in the fading heartbeat, affirming that even in incompleteness, the effort to stay burns like a final, haunting flare.
