Finnish metal band Battle Beast has released a music video for title track from its upcoming fifth studio album, “No More Hollywood Endings.” The record will be released March 22 via Nuclear Blast.
Directed by Markus Nieminen and produced by Oy Routafilmi AB/Tuotantoyhtiö Legenda, the video can be seen below.
“The song tells a story about living up to other people’s expectations and becoming a kind of a sidekick in one’s own life,” keyboardist Janne Björkroth said. “Hollywood conventions and media set unrealistic expectations and narrow ideals about such things as beauty and happiness, and it’s easy to get lost while trying to fit the mould. The song claims that there isn’t a universal pattern for happiness, but everyone has a right to be respected as they are and live a life that suits for themselves. It’s a hymn to individuality.”
