Adelaide’s own Lonely Empire are back with a hard-hitting visual experience for their breakout single, ‘Like a Misfit’. Following the successful release of their debut EP, Dawn of the Empire, the band is doubling down with an electrifying new music video that brings their raw energy and outcast anthem to life.

The video captures the song’s central theme of alienation and defiance, weaving together visceral performance shots with a compelling narrative that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t belong. With Lucas Magourilos’ searing vocals, aggressive riffs, and a relentless rhythm section, ‘Like a Misfit’ is a visceral and cathartic experience from start to finish.

Since the release of Dawn of the Empire via Golden Robot Records, Lonely Empire has been making waves in the metal and punk scenes, drawing comparisons to heavyweights like Slipknot, Linkin Park, and Bring Me the Horizon. Their music is a rallying cry for those who refuse to conform, blending nu-metal grit with metalcore ferocity.

The ‘Like a Misfit’ music video is now available on YouTube, with the track streaming across all major platforms. Fans can expect more blistering content from Lonely Empire, as they gear up for live shows and future releases.
