Hillhaven, the project featuring Chris Kelly (ex-Ice Nine Kills, ex-Galactic Empire), Maty Madiro (From Ashes To New), Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills), Jimmy Bennett (From Ashes To New), and Jaime GoWell, have premiered a new video for their new song “GAPS.” You can check that out below:
Kelly commented:
“This song was quite literally the conception of Hillhaven. I had originally written it for another project, but when that didn’t work out, I sent it to Maty and, almost immediately, the conversation became one about starting something new. The thought was exciting, but terrifying at the same time.
I had never been a frontman, I was VERY new to writing lyrics, and this was going to involve a level of vulnerability that would surely push beyond my comfort zone. Still, though, it was a no-brainer — having the chance to make something fresh with guys at this level. A lot of Hillhaven’s lyrics are deeply cathartic, covering darker subjects as a way of healing. This is one of the hopeful songs.
It’s got a little more of a ‘feel-good’ vibe than the last two songs we’ve put out and I think listeners are gonna dig that. The usual ‘doom and gloom’ lyricism in rock and metal can be a little numbing at times, so it’s nice to throw some positivity into the mix.”
