U.S. tour is scheduled for July and August
The Equal Vision Records signed quintet, Hail The Sun, just unveiled their new eerie song and second single, “Under The Floor,” taken from their upcoming new album, Divine Inner Tension due out on Friday, August 11 (pre-order/pre-save HERE).
The song is inspired by the tragic murders of John Wayne Gacy and is written from the perspective of his victims – basically, what they may have thought, felt, and saw.
The band also has a tour scheduled to coincide with the album release. The tour kicks off on July 18 in Phoenix, AZ, and will end in San Diego, CA on August 19. Supporting bands include Being As An Ocean, Kaonashi, and Origami Button. Tickets can be purchased here.

Hail The Sun is comprised of Donovan Melero (vocals), Aric Garcia (guitar), Shane Gann (guitar), John Stirrat (bass), and Allen Casillas (drums).
The post-hardcore five-piece had an epiphany while working on this album and realized that “inspiration doesn’t have to come from a place of despair, and letting go of the idea that an artist needs to be tortured in order to create.”
“This is the first album we’ve written that didn’t come exclusively from a place of suffering or pain,” Melero admits. “Sadness, heartbreak, and nihilism all inspire, but during the pandemic, there was a big shift, and this is more about retelling the story — retelling stories about everyday perceptions. Everything comes from within, so I thought that maybe I don’t have to suffer to feel inspired.”
