Farewell From the Gallows

Farewell From the Gallows Return with Explosive New Single “Glimpse the Sun” – Out Now

After 12 years without original material, Indiana metalcore stalwarts Farewell From the Gallows are back with their first original single in over a decade. “Glimpse the Sun” is out now, marking the beginning of the band’s long-overdue full-length debut.

Formed in 2006 by Christian James , Aaron Hall , and Kenneth Brumback , Farewell From the Gallows quickly became a cornerstone of the Midwest metalcore scene, earning acclaim for their intense live shows and emotional, precise songwriting. Early EPs like Eyes to the Skies (2008) and The Brent Schindler’s List (2010), followed by the 2012 release Luck of the Draw , cemented their reputation, while 2013’s Parallels led to a deal with Red Cord Records (distributed by Victory Records). Later that year, the band went on hiatus—but hints of a comeback surfaced in 2022 with the re-recording “Day in November ‘22.”

Now fully reunited, the band channels years of experience and renewed vision into “Glimpse the Sun,” a track about breaking free from societal expectations and finding one’s inner light.

“Glimpse the Sun is a song about self-discovery in the modern age and breaking free from societal expectations to find one’s inner light and forge your own path.” – Aaron Hall, Guitarist, Farewell From the Gallows

Mixed and mastered by Aaron Hall , with additional engineering by Kenneth Brumback , the single delivers the band’s trademark heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and emotional intensity—perfect for fans of Erra, A Day to Remember, and Volumes .

After 12 years, why was now the right time to break the silence with “Glimpse the Sun”? What was the catalyst that finally brought the band fully back together?

We felt like we needed a song that was relevant to today’s society and also something that could be an anthem of sorts. The catalyst that brought the bands back together would probably be the huge response we got when we finally uploaded all of our old albums to streaming platforms for the first time in over a decade. -Aaron

We wanted a song to show everyone that, even though we’re all older, we weren’t changing up our style. I believe the catalyst that finally brought us all together was finding our notes for a concept album that we made 12 years ago. -Kenny

The song is about breaking free from societal expectations to “find one’s inner light.” After over a decade away, what personal or societal expectations did the band itself have to break free from to return?

I think the biggest thing to overcome was our own shadow per se. We accomplished a lot in our first run as a band and it felt like a mountain to climb to reach the heights we were at when we broke up. -Aaron

The biggest thing for me was not trying to change our sound in order to match what’s popular right now. We came back with our own personal sound/style. -Kenny

How does it feel to release your first original material since 2013? Does “Glimpse the Sun” sound like the band you were 12 years ago, or does it feel like something entirely new born from your experiences since?

It feels amazing! Glimpse the Sun has elements from our previous record, Luck of the Draw, but is also the first song we’ve ever done on super low tuned 7 string guitars. -Aaron

It feels amazing! This band has always felt like home to me. Writing songs together again just came naturally, like we didn’t spend the last 12 years apart from each other. -Kenny

Aaron, you mixed and mastered the track, with Kenneth engineering. What was it like stepping into that producer role for the band’s comeback? Did you have a specific sonic goal to modernize your sound while retaining its core identity?

It was nerve wracking for sure. I did the production on our last couple things before Glimpse but this song just had a huge weight to it that I knew I couldn’t let the guys down and I needed to live up to the quality of our previous record. -Aaron
