The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die have announced that their second full-length album, Harmlessness, will be released on September 25 viaEpitaph.
The first song shared is “January 10th, 2014” in which the band recalls the true story of a woman in Mexico called Diana, Hunter of Bus Drivers.David Bello, vocalist of TWIABP explains:
“’January 10th, 2014′ is a song about retaliation against predators. The character in the song, Diana, is based on the story of a woman from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico who avenged unprosecuted and largely ignored sexual assaults being committed by bus drivers on their routes. The video replaces the real life Diana with Dianic Wiccans who protect themselves using hexes and their own spirituality. The male character in the video is a predator, and therefore must be destroyed.”
Watch the video at NPR: “January 10th, 2014”
