The song appears on the band’s album Six
Following the success of their latest album Six, multi-platinum hard rockers Extreme are back with a new music video for their single “Hurricane.” The track, which features Extreme’s unique vocal interplay between Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, mixes velvet-smooth harmonies and a delicately plucked melody that mirrors facing “the storm before the calm.”
Written after the loss of a close friend, Nuno’s songwriting serves as a reflection on his own experiences. “We get crushed by losing someone,” he notes. “Time passes and we calm down, but the pain never goes away.”
“That’s where Nuno shines, man,” adds Gary. “Everyone looks at him as a guitar hero, but he’s a songwriter first. This is a beautiful piece of music.”
The video, also directed by Bettencourt features all four band members, including drummer Kevin Figueiredo and bassist Pat Badger, individually confronting losses of their own. While each faces these difficult and intimate moments throughout the video, they triumph in together finding the strength to continue on.
Extreme is extending their global headlining Thicker Than Blood Tour for a second US leg. Following an impressive run of sold out shows and high fan demand, the band will be back on the road for an additional 21 dates alongside special guests, Living Colour. Kicking off in Englewood, NJ on January 24th, the tour will see the band make stops across the country throughout the following month, all before joining the Monsters of Rock Cruise out of Miami, FL from March 2nd to March 7th.
