The Five Hundred release new music video for ‘Smoke and Mirrors’

THE FIVE HUNDRED have released a brand new music video!

The new music video, for the track Smoke and Mirrors, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Bleed Red which is scheduled to be released in August this year! The upcoming album was produced by Justin Hill (SIKTH, HEART OF A COWARD, BETRAYING THE MARTYRS) and each song represents a different facet of the psyche, persona, or essence of addiction; from hedonism and oblivion all the way through to seduction, narcissism, psychosis and ultimate self-destruction.

Speaking about the new single, guitarist Mark Byrne says, “the first single, Smoke & Mirrors, deals with obscuring the realities of an addict’s sense of worthlessness and depression, losing oneself in a “snowstorm” of abuse, with the “hourglass” of his life slowly counting down his days into a self-induced depravity.”
