On All Hallowsโ Eve Michael Monroe releases the video for the majestically dark single, โDerelict Palaceโ, taken from the album, I Live Too Fast To Die Young, out now via Silver Lining Music.
โDerelict Palaceโ is about watching someone that you care about disappear into drug addictionโ guitarist Rich Jones explains. Musically, the track takes on a melodic sombre tone. โI had been listening to a lot of post-punk when I wrote it - Echo & The Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs, The Church - and I wanted to see if we could push the band in that kind of musical directionโ adds Jones.
Michael Monroe adds, โthe song was written about people who get a little too into drugs and before you know it, they kind of disappear from all of the people and things that they used to love. Of course thatโs sad but that said, thereโs something cool about being an outcast and not fitting inโฆ This is one of my favorite songs off the I Live Too Fast To Die Young album and it adds a nice new dimension to my bandโs sound and style. Plus, we found the perfect place to film the video for it!โ
The single is aptly accompanied with an eerie yet mesmerising video showing the band performing in a desolate, gothic, manor house, including scenes of Monroe flicking a switchblade knife gifted to him recently in Milan by none other than Alice Cooper himself.
At a time when it seems increasingly hard to remain positive, I Live Too Fast To Die Young encompasses eleven lean, mean, raw slices of rock โnโ roll joy. Even when the key goes minor, Monroeโs music always seems to retain at the very least a hopeful edge, something he ascribes to a specific Finnish quality.
