Huntsmen have released a new single called “God Will Stop Trying” along with a music video directed by Ryan Luciani. The band’s vocalist, Aimee Bueno had the following comments regarding it:
“As someone who was raised religious, but now considers themself to be an atheist/humanist, ‘God Will Stop Trying‘ is particularly meaningful to me. This track represents a part of our heroine’s plight to which I can personally, and deeply, identify.
We had a long day, but filming with Anna [Chiappett, director of photography] and Ryan was a joy, and we are privileged to have worked with them! We hope everyone enjoys this video as much as we did filming it!”
The band’s new concept album “Mandala Of Fear” is set to be released on March 13th through Prosthetic Records. The press release states that it is centered around ‘the tale of a soldier on her first combat mission gone wrong, as she encounters wartime horrors and traverses obstacles – both physical and emotional – dredging depths of internal resilience as she redefines the meaning of personal strength. Her saga can be consumed as a standalone epic, or approached as a metaphor for those same themes as experienced by the story’s authors.’
There will be a 32-page graphic novel that was also created to help tell the story told through the album. The band’s live show dates are:
