The Black Market

Rise Against

A darker, more internal turn for the band. Polished melodic hardcore that trades global protest for the heavy weight of personal cost and mental fatigue.

July 11, 2014 · Interscope Records

Find on Amazon

A heavy, introspective fatigue that still finds enough sparks of defiance to keep the fire burning.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from aggressive distortion to the somber, isolated acoustic strumming and cello on track 11
The way the bridge of track 3 builds from a rhythmic pulse into a soaring, cathartic vocal hook
The frantic, old-school hardcore drumming that briefly erupts during the middle of track 5
