Hail The Sun Release New Single, "Maladapted"

Progressive post-hardcore act Hail The Sun has released a brand new single titled “Maladapted”. The intense new track comes from the band’s forthcoming new album, Divine Inner Tension, which is set to be released on Friday, August 11th via Equal Vision Records. The single, along with the entirety of the new album, was produced by Kris Crummett.

In a press release announcing the new song, vocalist Donovan Melero stated the following about the meaning behind “Maladapted”:

“Through this fight for control my whole life, I have experienced intense OCD for as long as I can remember,” My mind is on endless loops. And a therapist put it best a couple of years ago – that it was a maladaptive way to give me the illusion of having control over things I didn’t. Purely noise. A distraction. Letting go brings an even greater sense of relief when I can get to that mindframe and do it..”
