The Five Hundred have released a lyric video for ‘The Rush’ taken from their new EP ‘The Veil’ which is to be released 21 April on London Road Records. You can buy ‘The Veil’ on The Five Hundred’s Bandcamp page.

‘The Veil’ is the follow-up to their 2015 EP, ‘Winters’ also produced by Justin Paul Hill (Sikth, Heart of a Coward, Betraying The Martyrs) and is a collection of the band’s most haunting, heavy and darkly melodic work so far. The Five Hundred have been announced as support for deathcore outfit, Carnifex on their tour through eastern Europe, heading to the likes of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Russia.

Guitarist Mark Byrne describes the song:

“It’s a tale of euphoric misanthropy and hauntingly dark despair. The music effortlessly combines furious guitar work and painfully beautiful melody with spine-snapping breakdowns and depraved, sadistic lyrics.”

The band are expected to be releasing their full-length debut album later on this year.
