In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, melodic hardcore band Vera Revive have shared their brand new single ‘Faint’, which features Dana Willax of Kingdom of Giants.
The new single draws from vocalist John Lockwood’s battle with body dysmorphia and aims to raise awareness for eating disorders.
“After learning more about eating disorders, as well as our vocalist John Lockwood speaking out about his battles with body dysmorphia, we were inspired to write a song for Mental Health Awareness month that could be used for individuals to reach out and ask for help” The band share.
They go on to say “We reached out to Dana Willax to see if he would be interested in helping contribute on this track. He was an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with. We hope that any listener struggling with any form of disorder, eating disorder, body dysmorphia, etc… will understand that there is help there. We are trying to create a voice for those who sometimes aren’t strong enough to speak out alone.”

In addition to the single raising awareness for eating disorders, and in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Vera Revive will also be donating 10% of all merch sales for the month to Heart Support.
Founded by Jake Luhrs (August Burns Red), Heart Support is an online community dedicated to helping those who are struggling brave their wounds, find purpose, and discover healing.
Formed in 2020, Vera Revive demonstrates a balance of heavy instrumentation with a melodic atmosphere, all while lyrically addressing topics such as human rights, the unjust or prejudicial treatment of others, mental health & the loss of love and oneself.
