Charlie Rolfe of AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS and Alice Guala of LAKE MALICE join ENEMY INSIDE on ‘Rag Doll,’ which now has an official music video produced by Jonas Sommer. The single pairs pop-driven melodies with heavy riffs and aggressive vocals, addressing manipulation and the process of reclaiming control.
ENEMY INSIDE explain: “'Rag Doll' tells the story of breaking free from someone who only loved the version of you they could control. It’s about reclaiming your voice, your identity and your strength after being treated as something disposable.”
The video accompanies a track from R.I.P., the German band's fourth studio album, due January 15, 2027 through Reigning Phoenix Music. Its dark visual atmosphere follows the song's themes of resistance and recovering a sense of identity.
The album also includes guest appearances by FROM FALL TO SPRING alongside AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS and LAKE MALICE. The announcement describes a musical direction built around heavier riffs, more aggressive screams, sharper rap passages and larger choruses.
The title R.I.P. refers to laying past versions of oneself to rest. Its lyrical context spans fear, guilt, manipulation and loss, moving through anger, revenge, desire, grief, self-doubt and acceptance. Healing, living with scars and making peace with circumstances that cannot be changed form the record's central themes.
