Alt-Metal group Fire From The Gods has released new track “Double Edged Sword” that tackles “modern day society’s self-righteousness and insincere leanings.” The Austin,TX-based band has collaborated with vocalist Jayden Panesso of NYC Metalcore outfit Sylar on the track and have also released a lyric video.

The song will appear on forthcoming digital deluxe version of 2022’s Soul Revolution titled Soul Revolution Deluxe: The Collabs.

Vocalist AJ Channer says about the track:

We live in a world of illusion these days. The world at times doesn’t even seem real. If you don’t want to play the game everyone looks at you like you’re crazy.

Channer adds:

We are viewing our world through a very narrow scope. We are out of touch with reality or what real life looks like. Some don’t understand it nor want any part of it. When you don’t want to join the proverbial party you get treated like a pariah. Then everyone comes up with a cheeky buzzword to describe you which causes further division. Double Edged sword.

Due May 31, 2024 via Better Noise Music, the new album will include five new tracks: a cover of Rage Against The Machine’s “Guerilla Radio” and four “refreshed” fan-favorite tracks with featured guests including Nate Vickers, Corey Glover (Living Colour), Yung Mo$h, and the above-mentioned Jayden Panesso (Sylar).

The album was co-produced by Erik Ron (Godsmack, Motionless In White, Panic! At The Disco) and Fire From The Gods’ drummer Richard Wicander.

The band have toured the nation with acts such as Sevendust, Of Mice & Men, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth and Norma Jean, as well as appearing on festival stages including Vans Warped Tour, Rock On The Range and Shiprocked. Catch them live this month at Welcome To Rockville (5/11) and Sonic Temple (5/16).
