On the day that THE HARA release their brand-new album, The Fallout, they have revealed the official video for Twist the Arrows. Y
The Fallout represents THE HARA peeling back their skin and leaving them at their most exposed. They have already released the videos for Violence featuring As December Falls vocalist Bethany Hunter Jiménez. The song explored the concept of a two-way toxic relationship, drawn from personal experience.
The live-wire Easier to Die follows the theme of losing hope in the pursuit of success and succumbing to negative thoughts, a theme that followed the dark and intoxicating Stay. Whilst Kings is about losing trust. Heavy and personal entwine, and it’s this that creates the sheer electricity which emanates from the band, making them a breathtaking spectacle to watch
Twist the Arrows is their latest song and offers a window of the juxtaposition of being in a band. From the euphoric highs of performing to a packed-out crowd to the quietness of everyday life feeling like you have no purpose or structure, wanting and waiting to feel that high again ‘I’ve hit the ground, seen the highest highs’, ‘I’ve found myself and contemplated suicide’. “The grind and pressure of trying to make your dreams come true can feel like a never-ending battle,” the band says. “Always searching for validation and self-worth in a world where numbers seem like everything, and so sometimes when the highs don’t exist, escapism is the only saviour – ‘drown my sorrows, to hide my feelings’.”
The video was filmed across that band’s headline tours in Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and Czech Republic in November last year. Talking about it, Josh Taylor reveals, “The video features a mix of us on stage at the shows and us in our non band mode wondering the cities of Europe which is a nod to what the song is about – the highs of being on stage and the personas we become and then having to navigate the come down and feeling of the normality of everyday life which send us into very low mental states, feeling like we are lost and have no purpose. We can’t wait for the full album to drop on Friday and finally get all these songs on the road at the release shows and our huge UK tour in February & March.”
