New Album Break The Silence Hits Stores October 29
Today, New York hard rockers Voices Of Extreme and Rock Revolt Magazine have teamed up to bring you the band’s brand new lyric video for the track “Numb.” Watch the video exclusively and read an in-depth interview now via Rock Revolt Magazine at HERE. “Numb” is cut from the band’s new album Break The Silence, hitting stores October 29 via Smash-Mouth Records.
Vocalist Don Chaffin explains how the lyrics behind the track focus on society’s relationship with the media, sharing, “‘Numb’ was written with the concept of a social ‘sped-up and fed-up’ society that leaves individuals in a disoriented state as so many different phases of the world’s conflicts and woes are being force fed via the media network channels.”
Don continues by explaining the story behind the lyric video: “’Friend of the band’ “Mike Freemantle” was kind enough to portray an average business man coming home from the hustle and bustle of N.Y. City and trying to ‘walk off’ all of the pressure that has filled his mind and thoughts during the course of his stressful day. His walk home is a ‘cleansing’ of sorts as he tries to shake off all of the imagery of social corruption in his mind while his path eventually leads him back to his guitar, finding the ultimate release in his musical environment.”
Break The Silence features some of the band’s best songs to date. Voices Of Extreme is a powerful hard rock ensemble that will appeal to fans of dynamic, harmonic metal and melodic rock. All of the members have extensive experience in the industry, as you can read below.
