Rise Against today release their tenth studio album. "Ricochet" features some of the most powerful and invigorating songs of the band’s career, arriving at just the right moment in a world saturated with constant stimuli and rage-bait algorithms.
Rise Against urge their listeners to question who truly benefits from all this division and collective discontent. They call on us to open our eyes before we leap, to consider how our actions might affect others while positions of inciting power remain protected. "Ricochet" is an album rooted in unity, delivering a massive sound while exploring the small aspects of the psyche that can ultimately spark the greatest changes. It all begins with yourself.
On "Ricochet", Rise Against also explore themes of comfort found in community, the chain reaction of words and deeds, how pain can be reversed, and the fight for a better existence that doesn’t start with blind allegiance, but with unpopular minority opinions. While much of the world feels like it’s in a constant state of emergency, Tim McIlrath (vocals/guitar), Joe Principe (bass/vocals), Zach Blair (guitar/vocals) and Brandon Barnes (drums) call on us to come together – not just to survive, but to save ourselves.
GRAMMY® Award-winner Catherine Marks (Boygenius, Foals, Manchester Orchestra, St. Vincent) produced the album’s twelve tracks, with mixing handled by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers).
