FOR RELEASE JULY 26 — Scrappy metalcore newcomers Heal the Hurt have dropped the new song “Ruin” alongside the announcement of their upcoming self-titled debut EP. You can get “Ruin” now at https://bfan.link/ruin-hth. The band has also released an accompanying music video by Reese Media and John Fleischmann, which you can watch below.

“Heal the Hurt is not a band name: it is a statement,” Heal the Hurt architect and vocalist Trevor Tyson shares. “This collection of songs will always be special to me because they commemorate dark times that I don't want to go back to. Hopefully, people can listen to each song and feel a sense of strength, feel a sense of valor, and maybe gain a glimpse of hope inviting them to step into the light and be who they were created to be.”

Although the songs are informed by Tyson’s own deep faith, they’re also honed by his experience as a mental health speaker and podcaster, influenced deeply by the sense of solidarity he has experienced through heavy music. Fittingly, the metalcore vocalist partnered with experienced musicians to launch his fledgling band. 

Josh Sturm (Lacey Sturm) recorded much of the project in his own studio, with additional recording by Alec Gregory (AsFireFalls) and Patrick Shekut (Convictions). The EP was mixed and mastered by Ryan Leitru (For Today). Different tracks draw on the production prowess of Patrick Shekut, Nick Gregory (AsFireFalls) and Joel Issler (Cliffside). Many of the tracks were co written with Michael Felker of Convictions. Alec Gregory, Kenzie Coyne and Josh Bramlett (The Protest) supplemented with writing support.

The full EP will be available on all major streaming platforms on August 23. You can connect with Heal the Hurt at https://bio.to/healthehurt.
