Comeback Kid release new music video for ‘Crossed’

COMEBACK KID have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Crossed, is taken from the hardcore band’s upcoming new album, Heavy Steps, which is scheduled to be released in January next year. The new song features a guest appearance from GOJIRA‘s Joe Duplantier.

Directed by Daniel Prieß and Max Maltais and filmed in Quebec, the new music video is a performance style video that sees members of the band fighting against outside pressures and personal demons until they fall into what is visually depicted as ‘the void’. The video involved green screening in drummer Loren Legare from Vancouver when he was unable to attend the shoot in Quebec and utilizing a special FX team and editing team in Germany.

Speaking about the new song, lead vocalist Andrew Neufeld says, “Crossed is a no frills metallic hardcore track. Lyrically it deals with someone in my life that seemed so far gone and I had to watch them dig themselves further and further into a low and unrealistic place. ‘Crossed into the void’ so to say. We enlisted Joe from GOJIRA to represent somewhat of an overlord menacing presence in the song. An overshadowing power via his blood curdling scream. This song is direct and to the point about staying in reality and warns of the elements that could bring us further into darkness.”

“It was wild how this song and video all came together,” Neufeld continues about the new music video. “So many people from all over the world contributed to this project. On top of the teams used to create the video, the track was recorded in Winnipeg and was mixed in New York by Will Putney. Then Joe [Duplantier] recorded his parts at his house (I believe) in France! This is one of the most fun collaborative projects that I have had the pleasure of working on.”

Heavy Steps is set for release on January 21st via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here. The band will be touring mainland Europe and the UK in January/February next year, check out the tour dates here!
