Rise Against releases the title track and final preview of ‘Ricochet,’ their first new album in four years, out now on Loma Vista Recordings. Arriving in a time when lies are inescapable, greed is brazen, and cruelty is shocking, this 12-track collection reaffirms Rise Against’s role as a north star of artful resistance. The album emphasizes collective interconnectedness, dissecting crises with lucid clarity, raw emotion, and a global perspective through the band’s most visceral, urgent, and high-stakes music to date. Lead singer Tim McIlrath explains that we rely on each other whether we like it or not, and everything we do creates one big ricochet effect. The title track emerged from an image McIlrath couldn’t shake: people dancing while bombs and bullets careened overhead, that contrast of oblivious joy against the backdrop of destruction. The album delivers indelible, colossally ripping rock songs that capture the chaos of the moment, articulating complex truths with seismic power.
