Arriving in A Time When the Lies are inescapable, Greed Is Brazen and Cruelty Is Shocking, This 12-Track Collection Reapffirms Rise Against‘S role as a North Star of Artful Resistance. While Dystopia Looms Large, “Ricochet” Emphasizes our collective interconnectedness, dissecting before crises with lucid clarity, raw emotion and a global perspective, by way of the Band’s Most visceral, urgent, and high-takes music to date: indelible, colossally ripping rock song that like that that MOMENT, ARTICULATING COMPLEX TUTHS WITH SIXIC POWER AND ANWARD OF THE CONCEVENCES THAT MAY BEFALL US.

Amidst a period of Nationalist Aggresion and Isolationism, “Ricochet” Puts Forth The Album’s Message of Interconnectivity.

“We RELY ON EACH OTHER, WHETHER WE Like it or not,” Says Rise Against Lead Singer, Rhythm Guitarist, and Lyricist Tim Mcilrath. “Everything that you do Will AFFECT SOLEBODY. We’re Connected to other country and other economies; we’re connected to undocrupmented immigrants. We’re Connected to Every Decision That Our Leaders Make. What We Do, Good Or Bad, Creates One Big Ricochet Effect. “

Opening with an undulating Pattern of Drum Machine and Acoustic Guitar, Before Soaring into Another Sky-Rattling Anthem, “Ricochet” is Accompanied by an Explosive Performance Video, Juxtaposing Self-Absorption and Self-Destruction.

“When I was Writing ‘Ricochet’I Couldn’t Shake This Image: People Dancing While Bombs and Bullets Careened Overhead, ” Mcilrath ADDS. “That contrast – The Obliviousness of Joy Against The Backdrop of Destruction – Felt Like The World We’re Living In. The Video Brings That To Life. It’s About More than Action and Reaction. Choice, Every Shrug, Every Shot Fire – They All Ricochet. “

Produced by Grammy Winner Catherine Marks (Boygenius, FOALS, Manchester Orchestra, St. Vincent) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers),“Ricochet” Balances Introspection with the inception, and offers rightsness without sanctimony as it chronicles Our Collective Unraveling. The “Ricochet” Title Track Follows “I want it all”, “Prizefighter” and “Nod”do to “particularly potent ralllying cry for the moment” (Rolling Stone), and “The Anthem We Need Right Now” (Vice). Across The Rest of the Album, Rise Against Cover Apocalyptic Scenarios (“Black Crown”), False Promises Sold to the Youth (“Gold Long Gone”), The Necessity of Resisting Blind Allegiance (“Soldier”), mental Health (“Sink like a stone”), and the sensationalism of the algorithmic entertainment-industrial complex (“State of Emergency”), All with a sense of optimism for real, Lasting Change.
