HOLLOW FRONT release new single ‘Will I Run?’

Ahead of their new album ‘The Fear of Letting Go’ which is set for release on the 27th October, one of modern metalcore’s brightest sparks HOLLOW FRONT have shared the latest taste of it in the form of single and video for “Will I Run?”. Speaking on the single singer Tyler Tate says:“‘Will I Run?’ is a song about the struggle of fighting your inner demons, who tell you’re not good enough, and resisting the urge to turn around and run away from your problems when things get hard,”

“[Guitarist] Lee [Albrecht] actually wrote a majority of the lyrics on this song. He struggled with depression and self-doubt when his daughter was being born. Wondering whether or not he was going to be a good dad or if he was going to fail, so that’s where he was coming from with the lyrics. And I think this is a very relatable feeling. When I first became a dad, things were terrifying. I didn’t know anything and that made it even scarier.”

He continues, “I think this song can be interpreted many ways. ‘Running Away’ from our last album had a similar message. You can’t always run away from your problems, regardless of how badly you want to. This was also the first song we’ve written where a majority of my parts are singing, instead of screaming. That’s definitely a change for us, but we want to be able to write whatever song we want, and losing Dakota left that box unchecked, so we decided to experiment with my voice. I think the results were better than we expected and the fans of our more intimate and emotional songs will really enjoy this track.”

Speaking on the album the Tyler says: “The album is a journey out of feeling helpless in a situation I don’t have control over… I’ve realized the only thing I have control over is the choice to move on and keep going. That’s all I’m doing. I’m not ready to give up yet.”
