News: HAIL THE SUN DEBUTS "ENTERTAINMENT LIES" MUSIC VIDEO; NEW ALBUM OUT NOW‏

Equal Vision Records' Hail The Sun is now premiering a dark new music video for their song "Entertainment Lies". The video can be seen at Youtube.com/equalvision and comes just one day before the band is set to kick off the 2016 Vans Warped Tour. All upcoming tour dates can be found below.

Alternative Press recently premiered the band's new full-length Culture Scars, as well as an elaborate track-by-track look at the album. The exclusive feature can be seen now at AltPress.com.

Culture Scars is available now at hailthesun.merchnow.com. The first pressing for the LP is limited to 1000, with three color variations including 700 on sand colored vinyl (MerchNOW/retail), 200 on forest green vinyl (tour exclusive) and 100 on opaque white vinyl (MerchNOW).

Culture Scars is Hail The Sun's third full-length, and was recorded with producer Mike Watts (The Dear Hunter, Hopesfall, As Cities Burn). The thoughtprovoking album offers a dark mix of personal reflection and social commentary, exploring the relationships between observation vs. action and perception vs. reality - and the effect of each on human emotion and society as a whole.

Lyrically, the album also explores vocalist/drummer Donovan Melero's personal journey of overcoming addiction and reflects on his growth since that time, and the impact that getting sober (now seven years clean) has had on his perception of himself, his past relationships, and his resulting appreciation for his family, friends and the opportunity to make music and tour with his bandmates.

The quartet also recently debuted videos for "Words of Gratitude (Parents)","Paranoia" and "Burn Nice and Slow (The Formative Years)".

Culture Scars is the follow-up to Wake (2014) and two prior self-released albums: Elephantitis EP (2012) and Pow! Right in the Kisser! (2010). Hail The Sun is comprised of Donovan Melero (vocals, drums), Aric Garcia (guitar), John Stirrat (bass), and Shane Gann (guitar).
