The tour was the first with Aaron Pauley on vocals

The American band Of Mice & Men released the music video for "Instincts," a track from their latest studio album, Defy , released in January of this year by Rise Records.

Directed by Ben Anderson, the video shows scenes from the last tour that passed through Australia and Japan. The choice of images was due to the intensity that the track carries when performed live, according to bassist and vocalist Aaron Pauley.

Defy was the first album with Aaron on vocals, a change that was necessary after Austin Carlile stepped down in 2016 due to health problems. The vocalist suffers from Marfan syndrome, a genetic disease that weakens the body's tissue, mainly affecting the heart, lungs, ears, ligaments, and muscles.

The band is currently preparing for a European tour with Bullet For My Valentine. Watch the music video for “Instincts” below:
