Nu Metal Act SAYDIE Return With New Single/MV [Philippines]

Nu metal band, SAYDIE, returns with YAWA — a blood-soaked visual spectacle that turns rage, pain, and self-liberation into art.

Directed with the stylized chaos of a Y2K slasher film, YAWA dives headfirst into the violence of transformation. It’s campy, cinematic, and unapologetically dark — an artistic statement that refuses to sanitize what it means to claw your way back from destruction.

“When I first heard the track, it felt like a scream from the gut of someone who’s been chewed up by life and decided to bite back,” the director shares. “The concept came from the idea of consumption — how fame, relationships, and even survival demand pieces of ourselves. Every scene blurs the line between hunger and seduction. The bloodbath isn’t just gore; it’s liberation.”

With YAWA, SAYDIE channels horror as metaphor — the monster as mirror. Between the snarling riffs, guttural vocals, and visceral imagery, the band captures the catharsis of embracing one’s darkness instead of running from it. The result is a music video that feels equal parts nightmare and empowerment anthem.

Equal parts Kuchisake-onna and Dexter Morgan, YAWA drips with 80s grit and Y2K flair — the kind of cinematic edge rarely seen in Southeast Asian metal. It’s the sound of a band reclaiming its teeth, turning every scream into a declaration: survival is messy, monstrous, and beautiful.
