Alexisonfire have premiered a new video for their new song “Push The River.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Bleed It,” which will be released on March 19.
The group commented on the single:
“‘Push The River‘ is an anthem for the restless mind. It is about surrendering to the bedlam of one’s own thoughts and finding peace in the chaos of the everyday task that is living and loving.”
Guitarist/vocalist Wade MacNeil also had the following to say about the album:
“We’ve always been interested in pushing the band in a lot of different directions, and our influences are all over the place. And because we’ve been a band for so long at this point, we’re capable of pulling it off.”
Vocalist George Pettit also discussed working with producer Kevin Ratterman:
“We really liked the demos. But Kevin allowed the songs to bloom and become this new thing. It’s obviously a very diverse record but he found a cohesive way to make them blend together.”
He also talked about the lyrical content:
“That’s me exploring the general existentialist dilemma of being faced by the mystery of life, and being faced by brutality, but still choosing to partake in the world around you. And then you start to see love as this really remarkable thing that exists in defiance of a seemingly brutal and uncaring world. Love is this anomaly of evolution.”
MacNeil added:
“We made the record we didn’t set out to make, which ended up being the best conceivable thing we could have done.”
