DEVIL YOU KNOW — the creative union of Howard Jones (ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE), Francesco Artusato (ALL SHALL PERISH) and John Sankey (DEVOLVED) has posted the video for “As Bright As the Darkness,” which comes from the band’s 2014 album, The Beauty of Destruction.
Said Jones: “The moment I heard the music for ‘As Bright As The Darkness’, I knew what I was going to write. This song is about the times I felt at my lowest. I’ve been fighting depression for years and I wish I had not waited so long to get help. Those who know depression, you are not alone. Just reach out.”
Added Sankey: “We are very honored that we can use our music to join forces with The You Rock Foundation to send such an important and positive message.”
The You Rock Foundation aims to serve as a safe haven for those who have suffered from or are currently suffering from depression — the largest perpetrator of suicide, which is the third leading cause of death among young adults aged fifteen to twenty-four. Using music as a backdrop to spread awareness, educate, and empower, the foundation seeks to pull those suffering out of the dark and show them the possibilities of moving forward with a life that thrives.
The Beauty Of Destruction was released on both physical and digital formats in April 2014 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The album was produced by Logan Mader (FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, GOJIRA, DEVILDRIVER, SOULFLY) and mixed by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (HATEBREED, SOULFLY). Artwork for the album was created by noted painter and illustrator Travis Smith (OPETH, DEVIN TOWNSEND).
