IGNITE: 'Bleeding' Video Available Online

July 14, 2006

IGNITE's video for the song "Bleeding" has been posted online at this location. The clip is the first video from IGNITE's new album, "Our Darkest Days", which was recently released through Abacus Recordings. The band, who have been crafting some of the most definitive melodic West Coast hardcore over the past decade, are also known for their no-holds-barred social and politically engaging lyrics. This song and video is no different as the subject deals with the Iraq occupation by the U.S. As bassist Brett Rasmussen explains, it is about "the lies our government told us to get us into a war without taking the rest of the world's consideration into it." Vocalist Zoli Teglas, who wrote the lyrics, has a younger brother currently stationed in Iraq, where, as Zoli explains, "he is forced to risk his life driving Halliburton execs to meetings that benefit the politicians and not the people."

The performance footage of the video was shot in the blistering California desert where the band attacked their instruments. Interspersed with news footage of the war and intense images, the message is driven home by director Chris Sims (LAMB OF GOD, AS I LAY DYING).

IGNITE recently made appearances at several European festivals, including With Full Force, which had 10,000 people singing along with Zoli. The band, who are also doing European tour dates with WITH HONOR and CONVICT, will be back Stateside for late August and will be playing with the legendary GORILLA BISCUITS for their reunion tour on August 21 at The Glasshouse.
