Modern Mimes Debuts New Single, ‘Seek & Hide,’ Companion Video

Courtesy: O’Donnell Media Group

Modern Mimes debuted its latest single this week.

The trio — Adi Elcida Hernandez, Ernesto Paez, and Justin Perez — debuted its new single, ‘Seek & Hide‘ Friday, along with its companion video. The song and its video come more than four months after the debut of the band’s then latest single, ‘Karmic Fortune‘.

The video for ‘Seek & Hide’ features the band performing its new single in a darkened studio setting. Imagery, such as a pile of keys is also incorporated into the video. While no information was provided in the press release announcing the single and video’s debut, it would seem that the imagery is used to help translate the song’s lyrical content.

The lyrical content featured in ‘Seek & Hide’ seems to touch on the familiar topic of concerns with a personal relationship. That is just this critic’s interpretation and should not be taken as gospel.

The musical arrangement featured in the band’s new single is a heavy, melodic composition. It will appeal to fans of Evanescence and it front woman, Amy Lee.

The Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion Festival is one of North Carolina’s biggest annual music festivals if not the biggest. And this year, the festival will celebrate an important anniversary when it returns to the Rock City Campgrounds at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 2nd and 3rd.

This year, the Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion Festival celebrates its fifth anniversary with one of its biggest lineups to date. The fifth annual festival will feature no fewer than thirty-six acts over two days. The acts tapped to perform this year include some of the biggest names in rock’s past, present, and future. Those names include the likes of: Slayer, Slipknot, Queensryche, Hatebreed, Cheap Trick, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Rise Against, Jackyl, In Flames, Periphery, and many other major names. The current lineup for this year’s festival is listed below.

Saturday, May 2

Korn, Marilyn Manson, Rise Against, Sammy Hagar & The Circle, Chevelle, Cheap Trick, Papa Roach, Bush, Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts, Jackyl, Of Mice & Men, Live, Motionless In White, Periphery, Beartooth, Young Guns, Marmozets, Islander and more.

Slipknot front man Corey Taylor discussed the band’s addition to the bill and playing alongside other great names in rock in a recent interview saying, “We are very excited to be headlining Rebellion this year! We’re honored to be playing in the company of Cheap Trick, one of my all-time favorites, as well as playing with such good friends like Korn, Halestorm and Slayer!” Korn front man Jonathan Davis explained that the Carolina Rebellion festival plays a very important part in that band’s history as it served as the point of reunion for the band with guitarist Brian “Head” Welch in 2012. “Three years ago, we reunited with our brother Head on stage at Carolina Rebellion. Since then, we made a new album and toured the world together,” he said. He went on to note that the reunion means even more as the band plans on playing its debut album in its entirety at this year’s festival. And now we’re back to perform our first album in its entirety.  Rebellion is going to be a really special show for us,” he said.
