In honour of Mental Health Awareness Month, melodic hardcore band Vera Revive has today shared their brand new single and music video ‘Faint’. The song, which features Dana Willax of Kingdom of Giants highlights the true struggle of eating disorders.
“After learning more about eating disorders, as well as our vocalist John Lockwood speaking out about his battles with body dysmorphia, we were inspired to write a song for Mental Health Awareness month that could be used for individuals to reach out and ask for help,” the band shares.
“We reached out to Dana Willax to see if he would be interested in helping contribute on this track. He was an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with. We hope that any listener struggling with any form of disorder, eating disorder, body dysmorphia, etc… will understand that there is help there. We are trying to create a voice for those who sometimes aren’t strong enough to speak out alone.”
In addition to the new single, the band has announced that 10% of all merch sales for the month of May will be donated to Heart Support. Founded by Jake Luhrs (August Burns Red), Heart Support is an online community dedicated to helping those who are struggling brave their wounds, find purpose, and discover healing.
