Pierce The Veil have paired their first music in six years with a visual that captures the frustration and euphoria of its sentiment perfectly.
Pierce The Veil returned with their first music in six year earlier this year.
It was called ‘Pass The Nirvana’, a dark, grungy, chaotic piece of creativity and catharsis letting the events of the last few years wash over them.

Between the band making their way through the dark streets to a group of friends indulging in some chaos of their own, it’s a gritty interpretation of how it feels to be out and about in the world once more.
Vocalist Vic Fuentes had this to say about the song and its sentiment:
“‘Pass the Nirvana’ is about the many horrible traumas that the youth of America have endured over the past few years. COVID, no proms, no graduations, an insurrection, school shootings.

To me, the song represents a euphoric detachment from all of that anxiety and stress and about finding some form of peace or nirvana.”
