Ex-I Prevail vocalist Brian Burkheiser has officially launched his solo project Scatterbrain. That project has faced some early hurdles, after initially being mired in a dispute with his ex-bandmates in the aforementioned platinum-certified melodic metalcore band. First out the gate from Scatterbrain is the below metal cover of Taylor Swift‘s 2017 track “Look What You Made Me Do“. Ben Proulx directed the music video that accompanies it below.
Burkheiser himself went on to say of officially getting Scatterbrain off the ground:
“To my fans:
This year forced me to pivot in ways I never expected, and it tested me more than I can explain. But through it all, your support has meant everything.
I’m excited to finally share a song with you. I chose this cover because it truly resonates with me and serves as a nod to what first sparked my career.
I’m still working toward the day I can release my original music, but for now, I’m grateful to have found a way to put a piece of art into the world.”
Burkheiser and I Prevail parted ways last May, Since then he has ramped up his advocacy for mental health, while also being transparent on social media with his struggles this year while putting together this new project.
