The Virginmarys stream Motherless Land

The Virginmarys have made their track Motherless Land available to stream.

It’s lifted from their upcoming album Divides, due out on May 6. The record is the follow-up to their 2013 debut King Of Conflict.

The band say: “Motherless Land is a song about escape and it’s full of questions about what we’re collectively doing in 2016. It’s about striving for peace, love and truth.

Divides is the best work we have done and we can’t wait for you guys to hear it. We can’t thank you enough for your love, support and patience and we’re really looking forward to us all being united at the gigs.

“We have the best fans in the world.”

The Virginmarys released two music video formats for song Into Dust in December, also taken from the upcoming release. Video footage from the Divides artwork photoshoot can be viewed below. Further album details will be revealed in due course.

The band are set to support Shinedown on their US tour next month.
