THECITYISOURS release new music video for ‘Violent’

THECITYISOURS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Violent, is the brand new single from the London-based metalcore band and is their first new music since the release of 2019’s Low. The new song introduces new vocalist Oli Duncanson and is their first since signing to respected German alternative/metal label, Arising Empire.

The new song was recorded, engineered and mixed by long-time collaborator Oz Craggs [FEED THE RHINO, NECK DEEP, MALLORY KNOX] at Hidden Track Studios and mastered by Ermin Hamidovic [ARCHITECTS, PERIPHERY, NORTHLANE] at Systematic Productions.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Mikey Page says, Violent is arguably our most honest account as a band to date. Betrayal was never something we’d experienced before as a band, so dealing with events of this nature was a difficult but incredibly insightful process to experience. The progression from sadness to anger is always a difficult period to rationalise when contemplating the reasons for a relationship collapsing. In many cases, it’s clear that there are reasons or regrettable actions to contextualise a series of events. However, it does not mean that they hurt any less. This track lays it all out on the table, with a hope of providing some kind of solace for the pain, before picking ourselves back up and coming back, stronger than ever before.”
