In the above exclusive video, we get a really cool fly-on-the-wall perspective on how the video was shot, and a bit about how to collaboration came to be during a pandemic, and with both bands an ocean apart.

Unprocessed guitarist/vocalist Manuel Gardner had this to say about the collab:

Making this song with Tim and Clay was not only a very exciting musical endeavour for all of us, but also a very interesting and intense project to work on during quarantine. We are so happy with how it turned out and feel like we’ve created something truly unique and powerful with our best buddies overseas”.

I studied music on both coasts (Berklee and SSU) and now I'm just trying to put my degree to some use. That's a music degree, not an English one. I'm sure you noticed.
