Sacramento
based hard-rock trio Misamore have dropped their video for "Bloody
Mary" online at https://youtu.be/cQt7PRMCZOs. The track is the new single
from Misamore's brand new "Monolith".
"The song 'Bloody Mary' was written a few years before
the recording of Misamore's full-length album, "Monolith". The song
deals with the destruction of what little innocence we have and how it all fundamentally
is the same feeling that sends us in the same direction," commented
Misamore's Josh Amolsch. "Originally, the video was planned to be a woman
losing her virginity and then giving birth in the snow and bleeding to death,
but we thought that might be too graphic and "real" for people. There
was also plans for the band to be in the video, playing around burning trash
barrels in the snow. But the lyric video seemed more appropriate for a few
reasons. Those being that the listeners probably want to understand what the
lyrics are saying and the another was to focus on the story of how easy it is
to make bad decisions and how quickly they will cause things to crumble."
Sacramento, CA-based power-trio titans Misamore refuse to
rest. Misamores' drummer, Cameron Ellis, was diagnosed with a brain tumor at 20
years old which was immediately removed. Despite the struggles, music was
always a driving force while he searched for solutions. He is now healthy and
stable. Bassist Mike Dragony suffers from celiac disease, a long-term
autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the small intestine that occurs in
people with acute sensitivity to gluten and other foods that can cause severe
abdominal pain. During the making of the album "Horizon" in 2010,
Dragony was rushed to the hospital and almost died. While battling through
health scares that would cause most people to throw in the towel, Misamore has
persevered and continued to create infectious hard rock.
With fourteen years in, a five-song EP, a single and now a
full length album to tout, Misamore has proven that it will take more than a
pesky thing like a brain tumor or a near death experience from Celiac Disease
to slow them down.
Misamore's new offering, “Monolith”, is what Loud &
Heavy calls “a top to bottom solid body of work” with many peers in the
Sacramento music scene praising the release as an “evolutionary piece” and
“Flawless”.
