Dear River is a song about journey, it is a longing for the unfamiliar, where the journey itself becomes a home. However, the more I travel and experience, the more the river calls me back and I start longing for what I knew: those first landscapes, those first loves

Beyond Dishonor Release Breaking Bad Inspired Video for ‘Heisenberg’

If you love your metalcore, but also have a fine appreciation for AMC’s Breaking Bad, then you should absolutely love this new video for Beyond Dishonor’s ‘Heisenberg‘.

Complete with the yellow lab suit’s that you’d expect from a Breaking Bad inspired song/video, Beyond Dishonor’s ‘Heisenberg‘ also happens to be an absolutely brilliant piece of music, so definitely gets two thumbs up from us as both an offering of metalcore and also as a homage to one of the best TV series’ to have been released in the past decade.

The band’s lead vocalist Reese Dunlap had the following to say about the decision to dedicate a song to the popular TV series:

It’s an obvious homage to one of our favorite pieces of entertainment, but it is wrapped around a stronger metaphor – just as Walt perfects the formula against his better judgement, so too are we forced to find and perfect the formula for notice and respect in this tumultuous industry and genre. That theme is referenced throughout the song, and goes one step further in the video, where we are, in a sense, a victim of this formulaic control. It is only when we have ‘perfected the formula’ that we can finally escape mediocrity.
