Founded in Florida yet now based in Atlanta, Georgia, Moodring is a nu-metal x alt-rock project led by dynamic frontman Hunter Young.
The band’s 2022 debut Stargazer captured attention from the tastemaker crowd, including a 4 out of 5 star review from Kerrang! Now, newly signed to SharpTone Records, the band has dropped the video for brand new single Half-Life.
Half-Life is an incredibly personal (and intense) song, as it addresses the many changes in Young’s life and in Moodring‘s configuration. With Young now unable to actively tour, Moodring became a concept that is malleable and can morph and take different shapes, and with different collaborators without defined borders and boundaries.
“Half-Life was one of the first songs written after I received a life-changing medical diagnosis and was forced to grieve losing the person that I thought I was and had identified as for most of my sentient life,” Young shares, laying his cards face up on the table with no hesitation. “It was a devastating blow to an already-tarnished nervous system. This song and sub-sequential songs were my way of coping and writing an obituary for the person I lost in that doctor’s office.”
He continues, “But when looking at Half-Life through a broader lens, I believe anyone who’s ever been forced to face realities or truths they cannot change can relate in ways that weren’t the original intention.”
Stay tuned for more from Moodring.
