Nashville natives Idle Threat have released a new music video for their song “No Turning Back,” from their debut full-length album, Blurred Visions. Since their start in 2014, the band has built a reputation for weaving hope within the walls of daily struggles, a theme they continue to embrace in their latest release.
A Hometown Crew production, the video captures Idle Threat’s burning passion for human connection in its rawest form through poignant delivery and ardent storytelling.
For the video’s premiere, vocalist Ernie Fabian told New Noise Magazine:
“It was based off of The Pilgrim’s Progress, a story about a man on a journey across all kinds of terrains (struggles of life) to a place of joy and freedom. Our buddy Zach acted as the man who chooses to face his fear—not turning back—to jump from the literal and proverbial cliff into what ultimately would bring him life and freedom. In the video, you can tell he’s afraid to take that leap with his future, but after physical and internal struggle, he relinquishes control and dives in.”
Inspired by everyday anxieties and the volatility of a global crisis, Blurred Visions — and “No Turning Back” — are about control: the illusion of control, a lack of control, and finding peace without having control. The album highlights the dynamic nature of the band by including both their heaviest and lightest songs to date. Their most aggressive instrumentation juxtaposes acoustic tracks, reminding fans to expect a fusion of genres.
