Canadian melodic death-thrash quartet Raider released their latest studio effort Trial By Chaos today and to celebrate the occasion, they’ve released the title track and accompanying music video.
As you’ll hear once you hit play on the song below, “Trial By Chaos” is a ripper. Its an unrelentingly fast and heavy track that the band says deals with life’s chaos despite our best laid plans.
“Life is hard the whole way through and each and every one of us has our own personal hell to contend with in order to find meaning.
“We want to be a voice that is in your corner of the ring for the battles we face together, and the battles you face alone. That being said, there is no rule that facing life’s challenges should make us perpetually miserable and that is what our live show is all about. We want people to feel welcome no matter who they are or where they come from, and to have FUN with us.If we can bring people joy and empower them even just a little bit to take on the next big thing, we have done our work.”
Trial By Fire is available today. Next week, the band will embark on their “Trial By Chaos” tour. For more information, be sure to check out the full list of dates below.
