WATCH: Of Mice & Men premiere epic new song 'Back To Me'
They keep up the ante after the excellent 'Unbreakable'
Of Mice & Men have premiered their second song since Austin Carlile’s departure due to his ongoing health issues.
After receiving almost blanket acclaim for ‘Unbreakable’ last month, the quartet have now unleashed the towering anthem ‘Back To Me’.
The song was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (Sepultura, My Chemical Romance), mixed by Grammy winner Chris Lord-Alge (Deftones, Muse) and mastered by Chris Athens (Drake, Ozzy Osbourne).
"‘Back To Me’ is a very meaningful song for us,” says vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley. “When going through major life changes, whether it's loss or growth, it's incredibly easy to feel like you've lost a part of yourself—and like you'll never be yourself again.
“I've come to believe that we can never truly lose ourselves. I believe we persist through these changes, and that if you can discover, tap into, and ignite your true passions, you'll always be able light the way back to you.
“We really wanted to put out ‘Back To Me’ as the follow up to ‘Unbreakable,’ because we wanted to reassure and encourage ourselves and others to press on when times get tough. ‘Let hope be everything that you need...’"
Capturing the band in their live glory, the accompanying high-octane video melds footage of the band’s performances at Welcome To Rockville, Carolina Rebellion, Fort Rock and Las Rageous Festival this spring.
