Background
[edit | edit source]Deron Miller, while recognising that it was "the song that sold the record", suggests that "Familiar Realm" was "the wrong choice" for the lead single from An Answer..., instead favouring "The Way You Lived" and, as a second single, "Don't Hold Your Breath".[2] Drummer Jess Margera has revealed that the song is his least favourite to perform live, suggesting that "it just doesn't come across live anywhere near as smoothly as the record."[2]
Music video
[edit | edit source]The music video for "Familiar Realm", the only to be produced for a track from An Answer Can Be Found, was directed by Matt Lenski,[3][4] the first not to involve Bam Margera. The video has many of the bands gruesome themes including references to Assault, Suicide, and Murder. The bands Frontman and Guitarist, Deron Miller described the music video as "a pretty sick vid".[2]
