Phoenix, Arizona band Common Wounds has released the music video for new single "Mile Marker," one day ahead of the song's release on all digital platforms. Stream the "Mile Marker" video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IiiCAHIMgA
"Mile Marker" appears on Common Wounds' debut full-length album, All Night Blood, coming October 18th on Protagonist Music. Pre-order the album, here: https://allnightblood.com/
Common Wounds vocalist Ian Lanspeary states: "'Mile Marker' is a song of hope and a reminder to ourselves that we are capable of weathering the storm even when it feels like we are at our lowest."
Common Wounds bassist Matt Martinez says this about the song's video: "The video is a collage of a journey through our city, highlighting the buildings and environments that were used for the album artwork. This imagery portrays neglected and decrepit structures. These structures and locations possess a beauty and character that only age can provide. Sadly, these locations are usually leveled and replaced by modern monstrosities."
Martinez' involvement in the Phoenix underground goes back to the 1990s when his band Suicide Nation was playing DIY venues with the likes of The Locust and releasing splits with Yaphet Kotto and Creation Is Crucifixion. From there, he founded Landmine Marathon, a death metal unit that broke out of the Arizona scene, toured the world, and landed on the cover of Revolver Magazine. Lanspeary notably played guitar in Phoenix hardcore favorites Run with the Hunted.
In Common Wounds, Martinez and Lanspeary, along with guitarist Corey Rial and drummer Steven Campbell, deliver soul-stirring, bone-rumbling post-hardcore. World-weary vocals and wistful melodies ride atop freight train-heavy rhythms, calling to mind the likes of Jawbox, Unwound, and Young Widows. Decibel Magazine has described the sound as "pointed and burly, pulsing with the honesty of emotional hardcore and the swagger of noise rock."
All Night Blood was recorded by Zachary Rippy (Power Trip, Wristmeetrazor), mixed by Scott Evans (Thrice, Samiam), and mastered by Carl Saff (Modern Life Is War, KEN mode).
