Fall Out Boy get back to business with their super energetic music video on Rolling Stone for their new punk song "Love, Sex, Death," the first digital single, has been described as a fiery slab of early-80s punk and early '90s hardcore, from the Chicago pop-punk quartet's upcoming new album "Pax Am Days," to be released on October 15th via Island and will become the band's second release in 2013 after the comeback album "Save Rock and Roll," and marks a return to their hardcore musical roots with aggressive guitar work.
Before becoming A-list pop stars due to factors musical and non-musical, Fall Out Boy was ostensibly a punk band. But since crossing over with 2005's "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" and maybe even before that, they've never released a song that so wholly embraces the canonical ideal of punk rock as much as "Love, Sex, Death," the one minute and 24 seconds of knuckle-dragging hardcore bombast they kicked out today. And which producer coaxed all this aggression out of them? None other than noted punk/metal enthusiast Ryan Adams, who's been indulging his own punk proclivities lately.
"Love, Sex, Death" is a rollicking bit of hardcore fury and showcases Chicago rockers' two-day studio session at Adams' Pax Am Studios in Los Angeles. As band's bassist Pete Wentz told earlier last month, the track showcases influences from Misfits, Black Flag and other late '70s and early '80s punk bands. Wentz called it the "antithesis" of Save Rock and Roll, and based on the aggressive guitar work on "Love, Sex, Death," that's exactly what we can look forward to. If "Love, Sex, Death" is indicative of the rest of the set, "Pax Am Days" will be quite the contrast to Save Rock And Roll's hyper-glossy emo jock jams.
The clip for "Love, Sex, Death" is as raw as you can get: a fast-paced supercut of footage shot by the band members themselves on tour over the summer. The raw video shows the rockers at their most punk, their stripped-down instrumentation and curt lyrics adding up to an Eighties-style screed that reflects the overall tone of the record. "These are cave paintings, scrawled to just let the world know we were here. This video is made up of footage we shot ourselves on our worldwide tour in the summer of 2013," Wentz tells Rolling Stone.
