Founded in Florida yet now based in Atlanta, Georgia, Moodring is a nu-metal x alt-rock project led by dynamic frontman Hunter Young.
The band’s 2022 debut Stargazer captured attention from the tastemaker crowd. Now, newly signed to SharpTone Records, the band has dropped the video for brand new single “Half-Life.”
“Half-Life” is an incredibly personal (and intense) song, as it addresses the many changes in Young’s life and in Moodring’s configuration. With Young now unable to actively tour, Moodring became a concept that is malleable and can morph and take different shapes, and with different collaborators without defined borders and boundaries.
Young shares more, laying his cards face up on the table with no hesitation:
“‘Half-Life’ was one of the first songs written after I received a life-changing medical diagnosis and was forced to grieve losing the person that I thought I was and had identified as for most of my sentient life.”
“It was a devastating blow to an already-tarnished nervous system,” he adds. “This song and sub-sequential songs were my way of coping and writing an obituary for the person I lost in that doctor’s office.”
He continues, “But when looking at ‘Half-Life’ through a broader lens, I believe anyone who’s ever been forced to face realities or truths they cannot change can relate in ways that weren’t the original intention.”
Stay tuned for more from Moodring.
