Twiztid have released a video for ‘Getting Away With Murder (Twiztid Redux)’, revisiting Papa Roach’s 2004 track with their own lyrics.
Directed and edited by Drew From Charlotte, the video arrives more than a month after the single’s October 1st release. Twiztid have rewritten the verses and revised the chorus, with the changes reflected in the track’s songwriting credits.
Jamie Spaniolo and Paul Methric (Jamie Madrox and Monoxide aka Twiztid) are credited alongside Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix, Tobin Esperance, Jerry Horton and Dave Buckner.
The lyrics put feelings of isolation and anger alongside the duo’s horror imagery, moving from music as an outlet for pain to devils, a pitchfork and a Sith Lord. That sense of disconnection carries into the chorus, which turns its attention to suffering and the people willing to look away.

James Garcia produced the track, with additional production and mixing by Alex Prieto and engineering by Fritz “The Cat” Van Kosky, Bernth Brodträger performed the guitars, while Tom Hane handling drums.
The idea for the recording came after Jamie Madrox and Monoxide heard the song in Netflix’s Devil May Cry, as previously reported. The series features Papa Roach’s Power Glove remix, and Twiztid said hearing it there prompted them to revisit a track they already loved.
“We knew we wanted to take a shot at doing our own version and drag it into the Twiztid universe.” The duo shared that ambition when announcing the single, saying they wanted to respect the original while bringing their own identity to the recording.
Papa Roach released the original ‘Getting Away With Murder’ in 2004 as the title track of their album of the same name. The accompanying video places the band on a chaotic stock trading floor, with the performance unfolding amid the behaviour of the brokers around them.
