THECITYISOURS release new music video for ‘Alive’

THECITYISOURS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Alive, is the brand new single from the London-based metalcore band and marks their first new music since their last full-length record COMA, which was released last October.

The new music video was directed by the band’s very own Oli Duncanson and is a massive EFX experience in a nostalgic retro gaming environment.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, Alive is about acknowledging the demons we have experienced in our lives and actively changing our mindset to banish them to the past and move forward with a fresh outlook on life. As a band, we have experienced so much change in recent years that it has sometimes been difficult to remain focused on the path ahead.

Alive was an opportunity to throw the rule book out of the window and re-define what it was that we loved about making music and creative content as a band. We talked a lot about what made us fall in love with music in the first place and discussed records that made us feel something; anything from punishing metal records to 90’s pop classic and everything in between. We set ourselves the challenge of trying to combine elements from as many of these as possible into one track, to set ourselves free from the restrictions of our past and fully embrace the new era of THECITYISOURS. We fully believe that everyone should be able to express themselves in whichever way they wish, regardless of race, gender, creed, sexuality, or any other labels society may try to place on us as. This song has enabled us to find our true selves. Alive is an anthem of celebration, that you are perfect just as you are. Alive is the re-birth of THECITYISOURS.”
