Pre-order the album here. Today, the band has shared the new song and music video, “Violence No Matter What,” a powerhouse duet with the inimitable Lzzy Hale.
Eckerström says, “‘Violence No Matter What’ is about one thing and one thing only. It’s OK to debate and fight and to think differently. But there is a limit, and the line must be drawn at authority held with violence, a world view that cannot survive without enemies, a promised return to a fabricated former glory.”
Hale says, “‘Violence No Matter What’ was such an inspiring piece to be a part of! Thank you so much to the boys for giving me the opportunity to express my angst against the horrors of this world through such a brilliant song!”
