Newly arriving from Stick To Your Guns is the below music video for their song “Severed Forever“. Adam VillaSeñor was hired to direct this clip from the Orange County hardcore outfit. That video finds actor Randy Gonzalez (‘Mayans MC‘, ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City‘) in the lead role. The song will also make its way to leading digital service providers on October 08th.
In other news, “Keep Planting Flowers” has been chosen as the title for the band’s eighth studio album, which SharpTone Records have newly announced for a January 10th release. Vocalist/guitarist Jesse Barnett stated of it:
“‘Keep Planting Flowers‘ is a collection of songs that exist to spite the nihilistic narrative that plagues our minds and societies. One that says things are just the way that they are and that regardless of the burning rage or depthless depression that this fills us with, there is simply nothing we can do about it. I militantly reject such a joyless outlook on the one life that I get the honor of living. A new world needs a new you, so no matter how bad things get, keep planting flowers.”
As for the aforementioned video, he offered:
“In an industry where there is only one true artist for every 250 entrepreneurs, this song is a dedication to the ‘artists and musicians’ who are nothing more than lackeys or the errand boys of their keepers. I have severed myself completely from the superficial competitive market mentality of ‘fuck thy neighbor’ to one that aligns more with the yearning of my spirit. I’m not going to pretend lines haven’t been drawn. I chose my side and I have found purpose in who and what I fight for.”
