The Word Alive have released a video for their track Trapped.
It features on the US outfit’s fourth album Dark Matter, which they delivered earlier this month via Fearless Records.
Vocalist Telle Smith tells Billboard: “Trapped is about the inescapability of our overthinking and progress-restricting behaviour. We all have something we struggle with internally, and sometimes we have to realise our mind can be a strange dark place, and our own worst enemy.”
The band shot the video the day before filming last single Sellout – but Smith insists this promo is the best they’ve ever done.
He adds: “While filming the music video for Trapped with director Marcus Eden, we knew instantly that it would be our favourite video to date.
“It’s able to capture a depth to our band and the meaning behind the song in a way we’ve never accomplished before.”
The Word Alive have just wrapped up a North American tour in support of Dark Matter. They’ll return to Europe in May for a run of shows, including appearances at the UK’s Slam Dunk festivals.
