As much as hardcore and thrash metal feeds off of aggression and challenging societal norms, Hyderabad, India-based NYHC influenced band R.A.I.D would pleasantly alter this belief with their Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) based ideology.
Beyond their PMA based lyrical content, the band brings together relentless double-bass drumming, groove-laden guitar work and the occasional breakdown. Following their sophomore album Imperium released in 2019 through Rottweiler Records, the hardcore/crossover thrash band has released a new song called ‘Alpha.‘
Frontman Rueban Issac says about the track:
“The song Alpha is based on a quote by Muhammad Ali; “Don’t quit, suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” A real alpha man/woman will do whatever it takes to achieve his/her goals, even if it means standing alone.”
Alpha is the first single taken from the band’s upcoming album “Defiance” which will be released March 25 via Rottweiler Records.
Tracklist:
1. Defiance
2. Shattered Beliefs
3. Alpha
4. True Wisdom
5. I Against I
6. Fearless
7. From The Ashes
