Rising Insane's fourth studio album Wildfires takes an in-depth look at the consequences of our collective abstinence from empathy, and challenges listeners to ignite their inner flame for change. It is an urgent call to break out of the darkness.
"Fortunately, a lot has been done in recent years to create a much higher awareness of mental health and the more the topic has been brought into everyday life, the more people have opened up to talk about mental health," comments singer Aaron Steineker. "When one of my best friends told me about his depression, it tore me up inside. From that came the lyrics to 'Lighthouse', which was initially called 'Friendly Reminder' - a reminder that you are not alone and that there are friends who will willingly walk with you through the darkest times. At the same time, the song is also meant to encourage everyone to lend a hand where it is desperately needed."
While Rising Insane remain true to their post-hardcore and metalcore roots on Wildfires, the band have evolved both collectively and individually, which is clearly reflected in the new and fresh sound.
Rising Insane singer Aaron Steineker comments on Wildfires: "Over the last two years, I have felt that there is a huge source of strife lurking around every corner. All we have to do is pick up our cell phone and we're immediately thrown into a hate-filled sea of conflict, there's so much hate everywhere. You get the feeling that the world around us is on fire when you add war, global warming, inflation and depression to the mix. That's how this album got the title Wildfires. Each song on the album is about a specific trouble spot, themes and stories that have weighed on me while writing. Our goal is to create awareness through our music of how much we burden ourselves and each other instead of focusing on things that connect us and create positivity."
