Michigan rockers I Prevail have unleashed a music video for their new song “Paranoid”, which will arrive on their upcoming sophomore album, Trauma.
The song is the third to drop off the metalcore band’s new album — the previous two being “Bow Down” and “Breaking Down” — and deals with the difficult topic of mental health.
The clip depicts frontman Brian Burkheiser as a surgeon who mistakenly takes the wrong medicine and goes ahead with his duties despite being completely out of sorts. Watch the full video below.
Trauma will arrive on March 29th via Fearless Records, and can be pre-ordered via this link. It’s the band’s first album since Burkheiser underwent surgery for a vocal polyp, and themes deal with “the aftershocks of stress and anxiety” he went through at that time.
“After my vocal injury, I almost gave up and left my band. I was in the worst mental state of my life and felt like everything we worked for was over,” he stated on Instagram last month.
He added, “Early last year though, I told myself that if we were going to get back and write another record it needed to be done OUR WAY. No label telling us who to work with, or what our music should sound like. No negativity coming in from outside sources. No cookie cutter BS. Just us and our producer @tylersmyth making songs that came from a place of 100% authenticity.”
In addition to the new album, I Prevail will embark on a headlining North American tour with support from Issues and Justin Stone. Dates can be seen below, with tickets available here.
