UK Artist Brocarde Summons Ghosts, Inner Demons, And Huge Riffs on Explosive New Single “Identity Theft”

UK alternative rocker and self-proclaimed supernatural influencer Brocarde has unleashed her latest single, Identity Theft, a blistering and theatrical journey through personal chaos and catharsis. Released on May 16 and produced by Chris Collier (Whitesnake, Mick Mars, Korn), the track melds haunting melodies with brooding alt-metal grit as Brocarde peels back the layers of bullying, alienation, and body image struggles. It's a sonic exorcism wrapped in cinematic grandeur, drawing comparisons to the emotionally raw stylings of In This Moment and New Year's Day. “There was an anger there, a deep frustration with pretty much everything,” Brocarde said of the track. “I can hear that emotion penetrating through the lyrics.”

If the song sounds like a haunted fairytale, the accompanying music video doubles down. Shot inside the famously haunted Gloucester Prison, the visuals depict Brocarde giving birth to a blue/pink alien on an autopsy table, while the ghosts of the Kray Twins allegedly headbang in the background, according to the artist, who frequently intertwines the paranormal with her performances. The result is equal parts art piece and horror short, underscoring Brocarde’s knack for turning trauma into something both strange and strikingly beautiful.

Brocarde’s artistic trajectory has been anything but ordinary. After grabbing headlines for her spiritual marriage—and subsequent ghost divorce—from a Victorian specter, she’s back in full force and laser-focused on her music. With endorsements from rock royalty like David Coverdale and Ray Luzier, and a steady presence at horror conventions and music festivals alike, Brocarde is shaping a movement that celebrates individuality through theatrical darkness. Identity Theft is only the beginning: her next single, F.E.M.I.N.I.S.T, drops in July, with a full slate of new material expected in 2025. For Brocarde, the shadows aren’t something to fear—they’re where the truth often hides.
