Southern Gothic Rock band Wailin Storms have previously announced their upcoming fifth album and first for Season of Mist, titled The Arsonist. They have now released the single and video for album track “Dead End.”

Wailin Storms vocalist Justin Storms says about the track:

‘Dead End’ is about seeing yourself after you die. It’s the first song on The Arsonist and one of the first that was written for the album. It flowed out of me while I was messing around with my Strymon El Capistan guitar pedal. It sets the tone by jolting you straight into a fever dream that’s filled with cryptic messages from beyond.

Wailin Storms are taking the stage this summer with a headline U.S. tour. The band will perform “Dead End” and other songs off The Arsonist for the first time, along with favorites from across their discography.
