Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [5/4 – 5/10]
Amerakin Overdose Shares New Single “My Endless Battle” [Video]
Amerakin Overdose is no stranger to bending the rules and defying expectations, and with their latest single, they have done just that! “My Endless Battle” is a song that delves into the darkness that many people suffocate under every day, shining a light on that reality, both educating and offering hope to the hopeless.
In the vein of being raw and open, the band shed their masks and filmed an appropriately solemn performance clip to accompany the release. The acoustic-led track was produced by and boasts a feature from Spineshank frontman Jonny Santos.
You can stream the song on your preferred service and watch the video below.
