Thousand Below Release Emotional Video For "Vein"

Metalcore act Thousand Below have released the new, emotional video for their track “Vein,” which works to explore the different sides of drug abuse.

"Vein" is extremely personal for frontman James DeBerg as it sheds light upon the effects of drug abuse not only in his own life, but also in the people closest to him.

“Ketamine drug abuse is ultimately what led to the suicide of my best friend,” DeBerg tells AltPress.

DeBerg feels that abuse of Xanax and other prescription drugs have led to a toxic, widespread epidemic. "Vein" is a personal recount of DeBerg's experiences, expresses his frustration, and shares a message that is both clear and important.

“Not only did drug abuse lead to the loss of my friend and harm my own life to a certain degree, but my girlfriend who was living with me at the exact time of the loss relapsed on heroin as a reaction to the suicide,” he says. “[She] immediately fell out of my life that very month, which only led to the weight on my shoulders that was drug abuse affecting my loved ones.”

“Vein” is taken from Thousand Below’s latest, The Love You Let Too Close, which is available now via Rise Records.

Thousand Below will be on tour with Blessthefall this fall, and dates can be viewed here.
