Seattle metalcore band Oathbound delivered the music video for their track "Set Adrift” yesterday.
The visual, which can be seen below, was directed by Brandon Hartsock. Guitarist Taylor Harper said this about the video:
"Life on the road is a grind. It’s a lifestyle that isn’t suited for everyone nor can many relationships stand the test of long stretches without calls and extended time apart. Schedules are flipped, meals are communal at wherever the van happens to be whenever hunger strikes. It’s the ultimate dichotomy of life as a touring musician and what most deem normal. This video aims to show the difficulties in maintaining a grounded connection with those that we love, both on the road, and waiting for us back home."
Vocalist CJ Brunke also said:
"This video is deeply personal, born from real experiences that each of us have had during our time on the road. I think a lot of people have a very skewed view of what the reality of touring is. In large part, there’s no partying... It’s constant driving and grinding and carrying gear back and forth and making real connections with people night after night. It’s the best part of being in a band, but it’s also the hardest part of being in a band. It takes its toll mentally and financially, yet we keep driving - every single day and night toward the hope of living our dreams."
“Set Adrift” comes from Oathbound’s new studio album Colors In Grey, which is out on Eclipse Records. In June, the band will embark on a West Coast tour. A list of tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
