Today, fans everywhere can tune in as the song is officially released alongside its video with the launch of the albums pre-order.

Rotting in Vain was written about being in that black place, being in situations that I dont like in lifebe it relationships, or feeling when youre stuck and youre just being abused or you dont like where youre at, and you just sit there and rot, shares Jonathan Davis. It takes you years and years to figure out how to claw your way out. Thats where Rotting in Vain came from. Im just sitting there, fucking dying and letting it happen for years and years and not helping myself to get out of that place. Thats the vibe that inspired the song.
