HOPESFALL RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘HALL OF THE SKY’
Melodic hardcore legends Hopesfall have returned with a hypnotic and haunting new single and music video ‘Hall Of The Sky’, directed by Drew Tyndell of Computer Team.
“The song is about the plight of an activist or a revolutionary – the danger of standing up against institutions that are bigger than they are” the band explains. ‘Hall Of The Sky’ is the follow up to Hopesfall’s latest album ‘Arbiter’, which was released on July 13th, 2018. Hopesfall formed in 1998. Over the next decade, the band would undergo numerous line-up changes but always drew from the same core group of lifelong friends to source new members. The bond between the group was so strong that even after disbanding in 2008, members of the band continued to get together on Wednesday nights to work on new music despite having no plans to release it. It was during these jam sessions that the music that would eventually find its way onto ‘Arbiter’ first began to take shape. ‘Arbiter’ has a decidedly unique bend to it, but Brigham points out that it is built off of the same principles as Hopesfall’s previous catalog – “big riffs and dark melodies”. Forrest adds that the driving message of ‘Arbiter’ remains the same as well: “Hopes fall. Tragedies happen. But that doesn’t mean you should give up or not stay the course”. With the release of ‘Hall Of The Sky’, Hopesfall has welcomed back Ryan Parrish, reuniting the lineup that created ‘The Satellite Years’ seventeen years ago. His return is a testament to the strong bonds formed and the depth of the Hopesfall brotherhood.
