I Prevail have officially ushered in their next chapter with today’s (September 19th) release of their fifth studio album, Violent Nature. The platinum-certified melodic metalcore outfit are moving forward without longtime vocalist Brian Burkheiser, marking a pivotal shift in the band’s sound and lineup.
To coincide with the album’s arrival, the band premiered a music video for the track “Pray”, with vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe sharing what the song represents:
“‘Pray’ is one of my favorite songs on this record. It’s about the moment when someone close to you burns you, and then has the nerve to feel sorry for you. This song is about letting go of that pity, realizing you are better off without them.”
Reflecting on the full album, Vanlerberghe added:
“‘Violent Nature’ is our favorite album to date. We wanted to create something authentic that could only come from the members in the band as a collective. There were no outside producers or writers involved. Just us 5 sitting in a room together. We believe that this is the most cohesive I Prevail record we’ve ever created. Heavy parts getting heavier and melodic parts getting catchier. We can’t wait to share what we’ve created with the world. We absolutely love it and we hope that you do as well.”
