SEVEN HOURS AFTER VIOLET Premiere Music Video ”Float”

Los Angeles, CA – Following the success of their recent single “Radiance,” which broke into the Top 20 on Active Rock Radio, Seven Hours After Violet — the electrifying project helmed by System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian — unveils the powerful new music video for “Float,” released just in time for May’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

Watch the Official Music Video for Float, which premiered exclusively with Revolver Magazine, BELOW!

“Float” is a standout track from Seven Hours After Violet’s self titled debut full length album out in October 2024. Directed by Glen Matheny (Four Four Entertainment) and co-directed by Shavo Odadjian, "Float" arrives as a deeply contemplative and metaphorical visual exploration of mental health struggles.

Serving as both a reflection and a lifeline, the video captures the weight—and occasional peace—of being submerged in the emotional currents of anxiety, depression, isolation, and hope.

“The song speaks to the threat of suicide, but more than that, it’s about hope—the push and pull between pain and recovery,” shares Shavo. “We want this track to be a beacon for anyone battling those inner wars.”

Vocalist Taylor Barber shares, "Float is about the feeling of waking up with depression rooted deep inside you. Feeling like a ghost in a shell — existing, but not living. It’s about being consumed by the weight of the world without confronting the inner battles. It’s important for us to express our emotions and let people know they’re not alone.”

The video supports the non-profit, To Write Love on Her Arms, a movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.

The group weaves a dynamic blend of sonic textures, creating a culmination of heavy yet vulnerable musical flavors. Seven Hours After Violet brings together a powerhouse collective featuring Shavo Odadjian (System Of A Down) on Bass, vocalist Taylor Barber (Left to Suffer), guitarist/vocalist Alejandro Aranda (Scarypoolparty), guitarist Michael Montoya (Morgoth/Winds of Plague), and drummer Josh Johnson (Winds of Plague). The group has graced major stages at Mayhem Fest, Knotfest and more, alongside heavy hitters like Tom Morello, Baby Metal, TOOL and more.
