Get ready to ignite the revolution with Acid Snot’s scorching new single, “RISE.” Returning to their roots with an in-your-face blend of skatepunk and melodic hardcore, Acid Snot delivers a sonic punch that resonates with urgency and purpose.
“RISE” is a call to action in a world plagued by the echoes of neoliberalism and the alarming ascent of alt-right political ideologies. Drawing inspiration from the harrowing legacy of Franco’s dictatorship, which cast a shadow over Spain for decades after the Spanish Civil War, Acid Snot thrusts the dangers of colonialism, imperialism, and fascism into the spotlight.
At its core, “RISE” confronts the insidious nature of oppressive discourses and challenges listeners to confront the reality of our socio-political landscape. Inspired by the profound philosophies of Hannah Arendt and Achille Mbembe, the song delves into the dichotomy of violence and virulence, highlighting the nuanced perspectives that dictate their condemnation or acceptance.
With blistering riffs, thunderous percussion, and raw, impassioned vocals, Acid Snot delivers an anthem for the disenfranchised, the disillusioned, and those who refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice. “RISE” demands attention, sparking a flame of resistance that refuses to be extinguished.
In an era defined by uncertainty and upheaval, Acid Snot emerges as a beacon of defiance, channeling the spirit of rebellion into a sonic juggernaut that refuses to be ignored. “RISE” is more than a song; it’s a manifesto for change, a rallying cry for those who dare to challenge the status quo and forge a new path forward.
