This one’s for everyone who decided they knew what Left To Suffer was supposed to be better than we did.”

Comeback Kid have shared an official music video for the title track of their new album “Chosen Hell.” That effort will be released on November 6. Vocalist Andrew Neufeld commented:
“The theme of the title track ‘Chosen Hell’ on our new album touches on morality and ethics. Something as simple as right or wrong. Good or evil. Healthy or unhealthy, and our ability to make a choice. Often, we are incapable of choosing the right thing, and we find ourselves in situations that we know hold us back, therefore affecting our own well being. The outcome is what we make of it.”
