Hard rockers Marisa And The Moths release their new video for “Gaslight”, taken from their second album What Doesn’t Kill You. “Gaslight” comes ahead of Marisa And The Moths‘ UK tour, starting Friday.
“Gaslight” is a raw and powerful heavy rock anthem that confronts the shadows of mental abuse and reclaiming one’s self-worth.
Drawing from personal experiences, the song delves into the tumultuous journey of navigating a relationship marked by gaslighting and manipulation.
“My ex distorted my reality for so long that I lost my sense of self. I stopped trusting intuition and felt so disconnected from everything,” says Marisa Rodriguez, lead vocalist. “But this song is about the strength I found, and the mental clarity I regained coming out of that struggle.”
The accompanying music video showcases the song’s theme through innovative effects that symbolise the warping of reality often experienced in such relationships, combined with an energetic, fiery performance, that emphasises resilience and empowerment, reflecting Marisa and the band’s journey through adversity.
“Whilst there were “warp-like” effects used on the shots, the simplicity of the video was purposeful. I felt like I had to change who I was in the relationship I was in in order to be loved. Now I know that all I ever had to do was to be myself, and just NOT with that person! So no more hiding behind facades. I’m reclaiming my narrative. I hope that anyone else that has dealt with similar traumatic relationships finds power in hearing this song,” Marisa adds.
“Gaslight” captures the raw energy and anger that Marisa channels during their live performances, promising an experience that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced similar struggles. The single is featured on their recently released second album, What Doesn’t Kill You, which charted at No.1 in the Official UK Rock & Metal Charts on its week of release.
Since the release of their self-titled debut in 2019, the band have gone from strength to strength, culminating in their second album What Doesn’t Kill You, released May 2024, reaching No. 1 in the Official UK Rock and Metal Charts.
Their latest album has been described by fans as a deep therapy session you want to sing along with at the top of your lungs. Both albums have received rave reviews from press outlets including Classic Rock, Metal Hammer, and Kerrang!, and radio plays from mainstream shows such as BBC Introducing Rock on Radio 1, BBC Radio 2’s Rock Show, Kerrang! Fresh Blood, Planet Rock, Total Rock, and Primordial Radio.
Marisa And The Moths have also recently recorded a live session consisting of songs from both albums at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, which will be released later in 2025.
Marisa also features on Sophie Lloyd‘s new album, Imposter Syndrome. The album was nominated for best Breakthrough Album at the Heavy Music Awards, 2024. Their collaboration single ‘Won’t You Come’ dropped in November 2023, alongside singles with Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Chris Robertson (Black Stone Cherry), Matt Heafy (Trivium), and Michael Starr (Steel Panther).
With previous headline tours under their belt, support slots for artists like Kris Barras Band, Von Hertzen Brothers, Those Damn Crows, As December Falls, and Elvana, as well as appearances at festivals like 2000trees, Planet Rockstock, and Primordial Radio’s General Mayhem, Marisa And The Moths are ready to take the rock world by storm and redefine the genre with their electrifying performances.
Marisa And The Moths will also be performing at Planet Rock Winters End, Call Of The Wild, Wildfire, and Firevolt Festival in 2025.
