After announcing last week the release of their second full-length album Harmlessness – which hits stores September 25 via Epitaph Records – The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die is making headlines again as they have just put out a music video for their new single, “January 10th, 2014.”
Now, instead of attempting an explanation for the music video, we’ll just go ahead and let vocalist David Bello take care of that:
“’January 10th, 2014’ is a song about retaliation against predators. The character in the song, Diana, is based on the story of a woman from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico who avenged unprosecuted and largely ignored sexual assaults being committed by bus drivers on their routes. The video replaces the real life Diana with Dianic Wiccans who protect themselves using hexes and their own spirituality. The male character in the video is a predator, and therefore must be destroyed.“
