Brocarde unleashes Pandora’s Box, a wickedly theatrical and darkly playful new instalment from her ever-expanding mansion of the macabre. In the twisted visual spectacle, Brocarde is immortalised as a blood-splattered living doll, dangling on strings at the mercy of a sinister Puppet Master.
Pandora’s Box is a deliciously sarcastic nu-metal anthem infused with a menacingly catchy carnival flair. The vivid, high-octane music video was filmed inside the labyrinthine scare maze at The Scare City Experience in Lancashire, turning the Halloween spirit up to eleven. Following on from her latest single Feed My Soul, featuring Ray Luzier, Pandora’s Box delivers a relentless burst of energy—a horror-fuelled musical thrill ride, just in time for spooky season.
“Pandora’s Box is essentially a fight song—it’s sarcastic as hell. At its core, it’s about being misunderstood,” Brocarde explains. “So often, I feel misrepresented, and this song channels that frustration into something fierce and empowering.” – Brocarde explains. “It’s about perception—how others see you, and how that often conflicts with your truth. In a world driven by social media, we’ve all become clickbait, and things are so easily twisted or misread.”
“The Puppet master is everyone and no one. It’s that figurehead of control—whoever or whatever that may be. In the video, I’m literally playing into its hands and becoming my own self-fulfilling prophecy. When I first wrote it, it was aimed more specifically at certain people in my life, but over time, it evolved. We all have our own Puppet Masters. We’ve all felt misunderstood. I hope it resonates with people and gives them strength.”
Brocarde continues, “There’s something powerful about the image of a doll—picture-perfect on the surface, but hauntingly silent underneath. And let’s face it, most dolls are terrifying! There’s a recurring theme in my recent releases around identity. It’s something I’ve struggled with, and still do.”
Brocarde first made headlines worldwide when she married the ghost of a Victorian soldier in an intimate Halloween ceremony at the Asylum Chapel in London on 31st October 2022. Although the marriage ultimately ended in divorce—via exorcism—the haunting experience unlocked her ability to see and communicate with the dead.
Since then, Brocarde has travelled the globe visiting some of the world’s most haunted locations, sharing her chilling encounters on her website, brocarde.com. Her psychic abilities have led to collaborations with major global brands. She’s previously gone ghost hunting at Download Festival, conducted a séance for Lemmy at Wacken Open Air, and writes the Terrifying Travels column for British newspaper The Daily Star.
Brocarde’s single Pandora’s Box, produced by Chris Collier (Whitesnake, Korn, Mick Mars), is set for release on 22nd October, with her debut album due to follow in 2026.
