Stitched Up Heart have released their mythical new music video for "Catch Me When I Fall," which is taken from the band's debut studio album, 'Never Alone,' which was released earlier this year. The dark fairy-tale themed video can be seen below.

Singer Mixi explained of the video:

"This video was so much fun. I got to be a princess for a day in a castle. I think every girl dreams of that. Plus, we had a demon that the boys tried to save me from. It was interesting watching how all the different scenes come together. For the falling in a crystal ball part, it was shot on green screen while crew members moved my dress with light sabers and blew wind in my face. It was challenging for all of us to act our parts, but we had an amazing director and crew. Everyone worked so well together and overall it was a great learning experience for us.

"The story is that I'm mesmerized by a light which is actually my inner demons. I blindly follow it as it tries to trap me and when I finally realize what it is, it's too late. The guys all are searching for me because they see that I'm in trouble. I'm falling into my demon's trap and they're trying to save me, to catch me when I fall. The message of the song is the same, it's a call for help. Knowing that sometimes you need those who care about you to help you through tough times in life. It's really kind of a breakthrough song.

"With 'Finally Free', we had a heavy anthem which grabs your attention right away. 'Monster' was a little more experimental and a bit heavier. 'Catch Me' has a little more mainstream feel to it. We think it will help us reach a larger audience and help us spread the overall message of hope. That when life gets you down, you can get back up whether through sheer will power or with the help of loved ones."

Stitched Up Heart will be performing at The Epiphone Revolver Music Awards, which will be taking place at Webster Hall in New York City on Tuesday, December 13.

Regarding the band's performance, Mixi added, "We are also so stoked to be able to perform at the 'Revolver Awards.' We found out we would be performing with the legendary Megadeth and Zakk Wylde, and of course, our label/tour mates and friends Lacuna Coil. It's such an honor to share the stage with musicians you look up to and respect. Plus, being nominated is humbling. It's so rewarding to know that we're being appreciated by our peers. We are ready to blow the roof off that place!"

The ceremony will be livestreamed via Twitch.TV. Tickets are available here.

Halestorm has teamed up with Gender Amplified to present the "Dear Daughter Remix Contest," a partnership that is intended to spotlight the hard working and often overlooked women within the male dominated music industry. In addition to raising the visibility of female music producers, the contest also gives fans an opportunity to win $1000 and meet Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale by submitting their own remixed versions of Halestorm's "Dear Daughter."

Gender Amplified is a nonprofit organization that champions women in music production. The movement's mission objective is to give recognition to female producers and other women who work within the music industry. The organization also aims to develop avenues for women so that they can become more involved with production. In addition to spotlighting and helping women in field where they aren't typically represented, Gender Amplified also hosts public events in order to create positive awareness about the role gender plays in music.

Lizzy Hale has said "My band Halestorm and I are so proud to be partnering up with Gender Amplified for the 'Dear Daughter Remix Contest.' We firmly believe that in this business it is never a matter of gender, it is always a matter of talent. Not only in the world of performance and live music, but in production, mixing and audio engineering as well. I am honored to be supporting and creating awareness, because we are more than women, we are a powerful part of the evolution of the music industry."

We are all in this for the long haul.
