The band recently released their latest studio effort, Mysterion, a collection of songs that showcases the band's broad vision and versatile sound. Independently published by the band, the album isn't only a sonic showcase, but also a testimony of the band's thought-provoking lyricism and conceptual depths. From the imperative opener "Callous Heart" to the aptly titled final track "Goodbye", the band delivers a diverse and heavy playlist where melody and energy are essential in equal doses. Mysterion topped out at #1 in Alternative on Amazon within the first day of the release. Each song has seen consistent popularity among listeners on iTunes, as well as helping push the band to a Seattle ranking of #10 on ReverbNation.
Along with playing as many shows around the Seattle area as possible, Hidden History is rapidly widening its scope of influence throughout the Pacific Northwest. Hidden History has been gaining a lot of very strong support from its closest followers, as well as building up a fan base; both of which are bolstering the band's accelerating momentum, day by day. The band is on the bill for Warped Tour in Portland, OR this fall, as well as The Seattle Hempfest and XFest in early September. Aiming to leave the dregs of their 9 - 5 jobs and hit the west coast, the band aims to begin full-time touring, writing, creating, and producing new music in 2016. Creating something out of a sense of deep-rooted passion for the art of making music and standing for something meaningful is what Hidden History is all about, and it's an exciting chapter in the band's - ahem - history.

Hidden History Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you cannot wait ‘til you're not afraid
‘cause the fear will always be there
fight to keep a fire burning inside
with every intention to keep it alive
Fight until you're black and blue,
until you're black and blue
don't concede defeat so easily
like medals on your chest
fight to keep a fire burning inside
with every intention to keep it alive
until you're black and blue
don't deny your scars give hope,
so fight…
fight until you're black and blue…
until you're black and blue
Bridge
you find yourself pressed by an endless tide
in a sea of dread
you find yourself running again,
a never-ending evasion from threat
Woa - oh
Woa - oh
Fight to keep a fire burning inside
With every intention to keep it alive!
so fight
until you're black and blue
don't deny your scars give hope,
so fight…
fight until you're black and blue…
until you're black and blue
Black & Blue is an inspirational song that encourages listeners to not give up when faced with fear and challenges. The opening verse tells us that we cannot wait until we are no longer afraid to fight for what we want. Even though fear may always be present, we should resist the temptation to run away and instead find a way to keep the fire in us burning. The chorus repeats the phrase "fight until you're black and blue" emphasizing the idea that giving up should not be an option. The song suggests that by fighting through the pain and hardship, we can wear our scars as medals of honor, signifying our strength and resilience. The bridge talks about being in a hopeless situation, with an "endless tide" of fear and threat. However, the song reminds us that we should keep fighting because it is the only way to keep the fire inside us burning.
The song's message of perseverance and courage has resonated with many listeners. It is not only an anthem for people facing personal struggles but also for those fighting for social justice and change. The song has become particularly relevant now, at a time when the world is grappling with a pandemic and social unrest.
