DUST BOLT Raise Mental Health Awareness With New Music Video For ‘Exit’ Track
May 20th, 2020

German thrash metal group Dust Bolt have filmed a music video for the track ‘Exit’ which addresses mental health awareness. Directed by Enrique Guilhermes, the clip can be viewed below.

The band commented: “Mental health is a huge but yet often forgotten topic. Especially in these days, during a lockdown and social distancing, but also in our every day lives, many of us struggle with anxiety and mental health problems.

“A few years ago we crossed paths with Enrique Guilhermes – a talented video and film maker from Portugal, finding the right visuals to our song ‘Exit’ (released on our third album Mass Confusion). In times of all people #stayingathome we want to share this stunning video and interpretation of the song with you.

“If you deal with mental health problems, or if you know somebody who is struggling with it, we want to encourage you to know, that you are not alone. Don’t ignore the chance to get help for yourself or someone else you know who may be in crisis. This life is not about being the strongest. This life is not about fulfilling countless expectations, role pictures or competitions. This is no competition. This is no TRUMPeting of being the best, most beautiful or most wealthy person in your compass. This life is about being YOU, finding yourself and loving yourself. You are stronger than you know.”
