THECITYISOURS release new music video for ‘In The Dark’

THECITYISOURS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track In The Dark, is the brand new single from the London-based metalcore band and follows on from their previous single, Shame, which was released in December last year.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist Oli Duncanson says, “[In The Dark is] about building up a wall to keep yourself safe by creating a fake image of yourself to make your family happy, growing up being told by society that I’d always be a disappointment because of my sexuality, something I can’t control. So I’d try to hide it and do anything to not cause any sort of disappointment in anything that I can control.

The pressure of upholding that image builds up to a point where it feels you can’t go back and completely shatter your own family’s perception of you. No matter how much I’d planned it out and got to a point where I was going to tell them, nothing would ever come out, I feel guilty because your life is a lie to people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. And no matter how irrational I knew the fear of telling them was and how frustrated with myself I’d get for not being able to tell them, I could never get the words out. Your friends and potentially people who barely know you still know you more than family, which isn’t fair. It feels like you can’t progress as a person as you condition yourself to keep your walls built up, unable to let anyone in.”
