Me The Machine - Miomantis [Scars] (2025)
Miomantis [Scars] portrays an aftermath of betrayal, where pain and torment lead to an extreme metamorphosis; highlighting a destructive encounter of insufferable trust and self-evolution. A chilling, cathartic release, where healing can only be unlocked through one’s scars. Join the booming chorus of heartache and revenge in “Miomantis (Scars,)” the latest single from legendary composer Akira Yamaoka and Latiné trailblazer Me The Machine. Pain is the ultimate muse in this vivid new track, available now on all music streaming services and DSPs. “I wanted to tell a story that brings people in to experience an intense, maniacal type of passion and hurt,” shared singer-songwriter Me The Machine. “The vulnerability of showing your own scars can heal others. There’s no one better than Akira to help tell this story.” “Miomantis (Scars)” follows the gore and glory of the duo’s 2023 single, Soul Eater.
