Art Of Anarchy have returned with a new lineup consisting of guitarist Jon Votta, drummer Vince Votta, guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (Sons Of Apollo), and bassist Tony Dickinson (Soto, Trans-Siberian Orchestra). The band’s new album, “Let There Be Anarchy,” will be released in February 2024 and a video for its first single, “Vilified,” can be found below. Notably, the clip stars Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. and it features “news narrations” from former Queensrÿche frontman Geoff Tate. Gooding said the following:
“‘Vilified‘ is not a song, but a statement, a message, and a warning. It is a reflection of the many issues that are being brought to the forefront within our society. Mental illness, mass shootings, institutions, people being demonized without proper information or due process. ‘Vilified‘ will no doubt be one of those culturally significant rock songs that will speak to generations to come. Because in the end, we must fight against the urge to Vilify what we do not understand!”
