Brian Burkheiser, formerly the clean vocalist for I Prevail, has officially launched his solo project Scatterbrain, as reported by theprp. Due to a disagreement with his former colleagues in the previously mentioned platinum-certified melodic metalcore band, that project has had some initial difficulties. The metal version of Taylor Swift‘s 2017 song “Look What You Made Me Do” below is Scatterbrain‘s first release. The music video that goes with it is directed by Ben Proulx.
To my fans:
This year forced me to pivot in ways I never expected, and it tested me more than I can explain. But through it all, your support has meant everything.
I’m excited to finally share a song with you. I chose this cover because it truly resonates with me and serves as a nod to what first sparked my career.
I’m still working toward the day I can release my original music, but for now, I’m grateful to have found a way to put a piece of art into the world.
Burkheiser and I Prevail split up in May of last year. Since then, he has increased his support for mental health and been open about his difficulties this year on social media while working on this new project.
