FOR RELEASE AUGUST 23, 2024 — Heal The Hurt has exploded onto the metalcore scene with the release of their self-titled debut EP, available everywhere at https://bfan.link/heal-the-hurt-ep.

“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 (Fighting Regress) 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.

Fans have already gotten a taste of the explosive chemistry resulting from this collaborative spirit on songs like “Withering,” “Where Our Hearts Divide” and most recently “Ruin,” which was listed in Revolver Magazine’s “6 Best Songs Right Now”. Metalcore aficionados were also treated to a collaboration between HolyName and Heal The Hurt on the searing confession “Stained Glass,” live at Rock Against Traffic in Pomona, California while attendees of Lacey Sturm’s Kenotic Metanoia Tour caught Trevor Tyson on stage in Nashville, Tennessee & Birmingham, Alabama.

With the seven track EP, listeners will be treated to an additional three blistering bangers: “Alone,” “Forgiving The Sickness” and “Thieves In the Night.” Each song refuses to hold back from the harder parts of human experience. 

“‘Alone’ is about the nights I find myself wondering if I’ll ever have a family, experience the love of a spouse, or have a child,” Trevor Tyson reveals. “It’s about learning to find peace and contentment in my faith and purpose.”

Similarly emotionally raw, “Forgiving the Sickness” offers the anguished absolution of a loved one witnessing self-destruction and “Thieves In the Night” explores the feeling of being used by an exploitative employer. 

Each track is tied together by authenticity. nticity that can only come with lived experience of the darker depths of the soul.

“I hope and pray that people can use these songs as a war cry for themselves to get out of that pit of hell and step into light,” Trevor concludes.
