Ignite Bleeding on Video

PR reports: "Bleeding" is the first video from IGNITE's new album "Our Darkest Days" that was released on Century Media Records in Europe May 15th, 2006. IGNITE 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 he 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. 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). See full story to check it out. - Click Here for the Full Story
