“Edge of Never is definitely one of our favorites that we’ve made. It’s always a crowd pleaser when we play it live and just a powerful non-stop rocker of a song.
It definitely gets people going at our shows. There’s an energy to the song that is unique. You know when we wrote the song we we’re going through a lot of painful things in our lives and music, rock especially, has always been cathartic. I think that hectic feeling comes through the music and thank God for rocknroll, to have that outlet for unleashing is priceless. It is about time we put out a video for Edge,
something we have wanted to do for awhile! I think the video does a cool job of showing what the song is about and has that chaotic vibe that the song is kind of fueled by.
It is cut with live footage of us from various shows and festivals so it’s also a bit nostalgic for us and cool to show off the fans, that is what its all about after all. That feeling you get from rock n roll and live rock n roll is one of the best things in life to us and I think that comes through the video.” Explains front man Aris Anagnos
