California based hardcore standouts Hail The Sun have unveiled their highly anticipated full-length, ‘Mental Knife’. The latter is indeed available via Rude Records since September 28th.
But that's not it! The band has also released a video for single “Glass: Half Empty”. The latter provides some of the most maniacal moments we’ll see on “Mental Knife”. Alternating between visceral screams and mind-blowing guitars and ethereal finger-picking over which singer/drummer, Donovan Melero, shows his command of melody.
The vibrant colors and cheerfulness of the video provide a striking contrast to the message and overall tones of “Glass: Half Empty” as a song.
Donovan adds this regarding the single/video:
“I’m very grateful for everything I’ve ever been given or earned. I count my blessings on a daily basis. However, I feel as though the obsession to want ‘more’ has always plagued me. The harder it is to get... the more out of reach it seems... the more I want it. And if and when that is achieved, it’s like my mind solely decides that it’s time to crave something else. Or even worse, I realize I no longer want it, and never did.”
