Silverstein unleash a new video for their single “Skin & Bones”

A music video by Silverstein for their song “Skin & Bones” was recently released. That video from the Canadian post-hardcore band was once again directed by Wyatt Clough (The Devil Wears Prada, Beartooth). Singer Shane Told offered his thoughts on the creation of the group’s most recent single.

‘Skin & Bones‘ is a deeply emotional song, written about the sudden loss of a person who was once very close to me. Everyday we’re stuck in our own heads worrying about trivial things and never thinking about just how fragile we are. Life can be gone in an instant. I lost one of the greatest people I ever knew. Recording out in Joshua Tree, in the middle of the desert, made it feel like we were starting with a totally blank canvas. Without external distractions, I found myself turning my attention inward. How did I really feel? What did I really want to say about it? And once I found that, the performance just poured out of me. Talking, singing, yelling, screaming…it’s all raw emotion in this track.

Earlier this year we ventured out to Joshua Tree, hiding away for several weeks and working intensely on our first batch of new music in 3 years. ‘Skin & Bones‘ is packed with heavy emotions and is the first glimpse of what formed in those sessions.
