Heavy Static: "An Evil that Hides" (Punknews Exclusive)
by

Today, Punknews is please to debut the new video by Heavy Static.

Frontman Christian Patrick spoke to Punknews, "'An Evil That Hides' was my attempt to write a song about something other than heartbreak and despair. With that in mind, I wrote about two serial-killing lovers who were lamenting their final murder. The video itself is a nod to the B-movie-style horror genre and quite reminiscent of '80s classics like 'Sleepaway Camp' and 'Friday the 13th.' As I was editing the video, the story slowly changed in my mind and it was in the images that I found the true meaning of the song. It wasn't about serial-killing lovers at all! It was actually about one person's attempt to move on; to put the past behind him/her, and to "bury" the love - and even sadness - afflicting them. Though it seemed like it was two people in the story, it was actually just one. The other person is but a memory; a haunting image that plagues the mind. Sometimes we get stuck in a moment while everything and everyone else continues on without us. It's a sad reality. In the end, I failed at writing about something other than heartbreak and despair."

"An Evil that Hides" is off the band's new EP, Here Comes the Fear. Check out the video below.
