Unraveling the Shadows of the Self

Diving into the Depths of Transformation

The music video for "What Remains" plunges the viewer into a world of emotional turmoil, where the line between self-identity and survival becomes blurred. Directed by Sam Shapiro, the cinematic masterpiece delves into the innermost recesses of Kakaty's mind, revealing the transformative journey he has undertaken. "The truest version of yourself comes from reaching within the darkest corners that you've kept hidden from the world," Kakaty explains, "It's in those shadows that you'll uncover the reasons for your transformation. I have evolved into something new. I am not who I used to be. I am what remains."

Embracing the Sonic Heaviness

The track itself, with its thunderous riffs and rhythmic thrust, marks a new era for Pop Evil, one that promises to be their most sonically heavy yet. The band's evolution has been a constant, as they have consistently pushed the boundaries of their sound, captivating audiences with their ability to blend raw power with introspective lyricism. "What Remains" is a testament to this, a sonic manifestation of the band's commitment to exploring the depths of the human experience.

A Storied Rise to Prominence

Pop Evil's journey to the forefront of the modern rock scene has been nothing short of remarkable. The band first rose to international prominence with their debut album, "Lipstick on the Mirror," featuring the RIAA Certified Gold Single "100 in a 55." After Kakaty famously tore up the band's major label contract onstage, Pop Evil signed with MNRK Heavy (formerly eOne Music), embarking on a new chapter in their career.

Charting a Course to the Top

The band's subsequent releases have solidified their status as a force to be reckoned with in the rock world. 2011's "War of Angels" debuted in the Top 10 of the Rock Albums chart and produced three Top 10 singles, while 2013's "Onyx" put them in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 for the first time, boasting three consecutive No.1 rock songs, two RIAA Gold Singles, and one Platinum Single "Torn to Pieces."

Reaching New Heights with Versatility

Pop Evil's 2018 self-titled set included the No.1 hit and newly certified Gold single "Waking Lions" and two other Top 10 hits, showcasing the band's ability to adapt and evolve. 2020's "Versatile" further cemented their status, scoring two No.1 rock songs: "Breathe Again" and "Survivor."
