Hawthorne Heights haben sich mit Siiickbrain zusammengetan um „Ohio Is For Lovers“ eine neue Version zu verpassen. Die ist thematisch deutlich düsterer als das Original und kommt mit einem Horror-lastigen Musikvideo daher, bei dem unter anderem Siiickbrain mit Regie führte. Über die Zusammenarbeit erzählt Siiickbrain:
This collaboration means so much to me for so many reasons. A few years ago I was listening and singing „Ohio Is For Lovers“ in the car and discovered for the first time that I could scream. Ever since then, Hawthorne Heights has been a huge part of the music that I create and a tremendous influence to me. The concept of the music video was heavily influenced by my love for horror films. I wanted to portray a dark, distorted take on the original song, and how sometimes you feel like you can’t live without someone.Siiickbrain
Und Hawthorne Heights-Frontmann JT Woodruff ergänzt:
It’s a truly treasured experience when you get to step into someone else’s world, as they step into yours. When approached by Siiickbrain, I was flattered that a younger generation of artists had even heard of us, and to work together was divine madness. I’ve never thought of my music as having a dark side, so it’s super wild to see and hear it like this.JT Woodruff
Erst diesen Monat veröffentlichten Hawthorne Heights ihr neues Album „The Rain Just Follows Me“.
