We’re pleased to announce that Nora Kelly Band’s explosive single “See You in Hell”, featured in the first Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Official Reveal Teaser and of course in the game, is out NOW on all streaming platforms!

The music video is pretty neat too – it draws from and contrasts the Abyss’s dark, surreal ambiance with the untamed beauty of the forest. Check it out:

Distributed by Kid Katana, the single encapsulates the raw energy of adolescence and the theme of “Rage”, the title and theme of Tape 2. We love the evocative lyrics, dramatic vocals, and the unmistakable punk sound!

Nora Kelly Band had this to say:

“It has been BEYOND fulfilling partnering with DON’T NOD and developing an original song for their upcoming videogame. The game follows a group of teen girls in the 90s who form a punk band, and my song 'See You in Hell' is the song they write and perform over the course of the story. So cool! Thank you DON’T NOD for bringing me back to my riot grrrl punk roots and believing in my songwriting skills. Go check out the song on all streaming platforms and I'll SEE YOU IN HELL!”

The song is a key element of the game and the friendship between Swann, Autumn, Nora, and Kat. Not only that, but you will have a hand in creating your own version of the song!

See you on February 18 for Tape 1 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5!
