Goth rockers Synical give fans a blast from the past with new track “Homesick” from upcoming album This Will All Happen Again out July 21. “Homesick” has all the feels of classic, ’80’s new-wave rock; check it out below.
Singer and songwriter Brian Haught comments:
“’Homesick’ is about the monster that is inside of us all and how it is cleverly disguised as love. So many times, you blame others for luxuries and disappointments, when in reality the monster creating the pain and hurt is you. The song also reveals that feeling of deja vu when you are looking and searching for something or someone. A longing to be somewhere else, someplace better. Homesick for a place you’ve never been, but realizing after time drags on, where you are at now is as good as it’s ever going to get in this life.”
The video was shot on cold winter’s day in a giant field, where Brian Haught found an abandoned barn to use for the shoot. He hired a “real life pyromaniac with no formal training or safety equipment wearing a giant top hat” who eventually ended up setting the organ, trees, and a few band members on fire with a homemade flamethrower. The fire was extinguished by a downpour of freezing rain which stopped it from spreading.
