"Glory And Gore" comes from Pure Heroine, the 2013 debut album by New Zealand's Lorde, and Lava and Republic sent it out as the record's fourth and final single on 11 March 2014. She wrote it with Joel Little, who produced, played, engineered and mixed it.
It's electropop with chillwave haze and hip-hop bones, and its subject is the modern appetite for violence and celebrity, which it sizes up against the gladiators of the ancient arena. Critics were split. It still reached 68 on the Hot 100 and nine on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs, and later that year it soundtracked an ad for the second season of the History series Vikings.
