Produced by longtime collaborator and multi Grammy Award-winner \u003cstrong\u003eDave Cobb\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDarkfighter\u003c\/em\u003e is led by the explosive single “\u003cem\u003eNobody Want to Die\u003c\/em\u003e”. The track notably marks the first new music from Rival Sons since the release of 2019’s \u003cem\u003eFeral Roots\u003c\/em\u003e, which earned the band two GRAMMY Award nominations. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegarding “\u003cem\u003eNobody Wants to Die\u003c\/em\u003e,” vocalist \u003cstrong\u003eJay Buchanan\u003c\/strong\u003e shares, “You live your life knowing that the sword of Damocles is hanging over your head by a thread. You’re fully aware of the impermanence of your existence, but you can’t think about it all the time—or it’ll fuck your life up.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI used to work in a mortuary as a service advisor for a few years, driving and opening the hearses. I’d attend three funerals per day. Sometimes, they would be filled over capacity. Other times, it would just be me, a priest, and a hole in the ground. It doesn’t matter who you are; the great equalizer is coming. I was thinking of this because the music sounded like pursuit.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eElaborating on the genesis of \u003cem\u003eDarkfighter\u003c\/em\u003e, Buchanan notes, “\u003cem\u003eDarkfighter\u003c\/em\u003e represents the cultural mitosis of isolation, the Pandemic, and the national fabric of the US getting looser and looser. When I say ‘\u003cem\u003eCultural Mitosis\u003c\/em\u003e’, there are lines being drawn constantly. We’re so divided, and you can’t step over the lines without offending someone. It certainly informed my writing. We recognized a responsibility to put a good word on people’s ears so there’s a good word coming back on their tongues too. We missed the joy of the live show and that magical interaction. When it was taken from us, that made me want to sing about topics that were important. There are strong themes on this record of loss of identity, preservation of joy, and beholding light and shape again.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLead guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eScott Holiday\u003c\/strong\u003e added, “Records are a healthy form of escapism. I hope this one takes you as far away as possible. Our intent was to create a cinematic body of work. As soon as the doors shut behind you, you’re enveloped on the ride. This is the sound of us really coming into our own. We’ve gotten further from our influences and gotten closer to what we are. \u003cem\u003eDarkfighter\u003c\/em\u003e sounds like the Rival Sons.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parlophone","offers":[{"title":"LP - Gatefold Clear Vinyl","offer_id":42906516062369,"sku":"SDZ-29650","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/products\/Rival_Sons_-_Darkfighter_-_LP_Clear_Vinyl.jpg?v=1677516822","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/rival-sons-darkfighter","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
