Rise Against Announce New Album “The Black Market”

Rise Against have announced their seventh studio album, “The Black Market”, will be released on July 15th through Interscope Records. An announcement of the album, as well as a preview of a new song “I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore”, can be seen at the band’s official website. A statement from lead vocalist, Tim McIlrath can be seen below. The lead single, “I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore”, will be released next Tuesday, June 10th.

The Black Market focuses on the cost of self-awareness. “Rise Against has always been a political band, but also a personal band.  “We’ve always had songs that have a foot in both worlds. This album is a lot more introspective to me.” The intensely melodic strains of the first single: “I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore” is a case in point – riding a huge chorus and speaking of universal themes of entrapment and escape.” – Tim McIlrath
