The official music video and new single “Sadistic Love” by hard rock band Saliva are currently available on Judge & Jury Records, as per Blabbermouth. The dark, melancholic, guitar-heavy song “Sadistic Love” draws inspiration from the early 2000s sound that shaped Saliva’s reputation. Bobby Amaru’s strong, melodic vocals are paired with an irresistible hook in this song, which is built around a hefty mid-tempo rhythm and builds tension until exploding into an explosive chorus. The song’s lyrics examine love as a weapon and a lifeline, encapsulating the all too often experience of being stuck in a failing relationship that you can’t seem to let go of.
Some relationships become a battlefield. You fight, you break, you swear it’s over, and then somehow you’re right back in the middle of it again. ‘Sadistic Love’ is about being addicted to the very thing that hurts you. It’s about chaos disguised as passion and pain disguised as connection. Sometimes the scars become part of the attraction. It’s messy, it’s toxic, it’s real, and we wanted the song to feel exactly like that. – Bobby Amaru
