Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Today marks a pivotal day for The Color Morale as they release their new album Hold On Pain Ends and premiere the music “Prey For Me” with VEVO. Described as “one of the most hard-hitting records of the year” by Kerrang! Magazine, Hold On Pain Ends has already hit #1 on the iTunes Metal Chart, #2 on the Rock Chart, is available on iTunes and in stores as part of Best Buy’s Find ‘Em First program at $8.99 for a limited time.
The music video for “Prey For Me” tackles the controversial topic of self-sabotage which lead singer Garret Rapp explains, “consists of harsh and aggressive subject matter like eating disorders, drug abuse, self harm, and suicide.” Garret adds, “this video is specifically for people that need reminded that they aren’t alone in their fight. We all have voices, and this music video was another chance to use them and connect.” Read the full quote from Garret on Altpress.com
Starting on September 11th in Lansing, MI, The Color Morale will be touring as direct support to We Came As Romans, with the line-up also including For Today, Crossfaith, and Palisades. Scroll down for full tour dates.
