Seven Hours After Violet, the genre-blending supergroup featuring members of System Of A Down, Winds Of Plague, Left To Suffer, and more, have unveiled the official music video for their emotionally charged track “Float”. The release comes just ahead of May’s Mental Health Awareness Month, aligning with the song’s deeply personal message.
Shavo Odadjian shared the intent behind the track:
“The song speaks to the threat of suicide, but more than that, it’s about hope — the push and pull between pain and recovery. We want this track to be a beacon for anyone battling those inner wars.”
Vocalist Taylor Barber further elaborated:
“‘Float‘** is about the feeling of waking up with depression rooted deep inside you. Feeling like a ghost in a shell — existing, but not living. It’s about being consumed by the weight of the world without confronting the inner battles. It’s important for us to express our emotions and let people know they’re not alone.”
The video captures the raw emotion of the track, serving as both a personal catharsis and a message of solidarity for those struggling with their mental health.
