Devil You Know, featuring ex Killswitch Engage singer Howard Jones, have released a video for the song, “As Bright As The Darkness,” from their 2014 debut album The Beauty of Destruction.

Howard Jones told explains the lyrics for the song:

“The moment I heard the music for ’As Bright As The Darkness,’ I knew what I was going to write. This song is about the times I felt at my lowest. I’ve been fighting depression for years and I wish I had not waited so long to get help. Those who know depression, you are not alone. Just reach out.”

The video, while pretty dark, was done in partnership with  The You Rock Foundation, whose goal is to, “serve as a safe haven for those who have suffered or are currently suffering.” Jones’ struggles with mental illness was a factor in his departure from Killswitch Engage, but thankfully in he’s doing much better, saying just last year, “I’m doing fantastic now—better than I have in years.”
