Hard rock act Hillhaven has shared the music video for its newest single, “Out of Spite, Out of Mind.”
With a nostalgic, 2000s-born edge, the song looks at the internal confrontation with the voice in your head that shows up when anxiety stalls your own ambition. It’s a track about catching yourself mid-spiral and choosing to fight instead of freeze. Big hooks, bigger riffs, and a chorus made to be shouted back.
“On this week’s episode of ‘Chris’ Inner Monologue,’ this one really just comes from spending too many nights being annoyed at myself,” vocalist Chris Kelly said. “All too frequently, I wind up having these internal battles where anxiety winds up stalling out all ambition, all progress, all productivity. Even as it’s happening, it feels so stupid. Like ‘why am I basically afraid of my computer right now?’ I was having such a bitch of a time finding the topline that, eventually, the struggle for lyrics became the actual lyrics. Ultimately, it’s become something of a mission statement to myself, and a big ‘fuck you’ to the parts of my brain that try to stifle me.”
Previously, Hillhaven shared the video for the new single “Dead Doesn’t Hurt,” which premiered earlier over at SiriusXM Octane.
Hillhaven will play a few live shows later this month and has partnered with ADA Music for all upcoming releases.
Tour dates:
10/18 — Pittsburgh, PA — Preserving Underground
10/20 — Minneapolis, MN — 7th St Entry
10/21 — Chicago, IL — Avondale Backline
10/22 — Cleveland, OH — Mahall’s
Hillhaven emerged in April 2024. By May 2024, the band was a regular feature on rock music’s premiere radio station, Sirius XM Octane, which has put seven Hillhaven singles into rotation to date. The band made its live debut at the annual metalcore festival, Christmas Burns Red, sharing the bill with August Burns Red, The Ghost Inside, The Devil Wears Prada and more. Soon after, the band partnered with Sound Talent Group and Grandview Music. Now, freshly signed to ADA Music and with a new body of work on the way, Hillhaven is ready to continue its ascent in the world of hard rock.
