“‘Carousel’ is one of the songs on Wildfires that carries the most traces of the last 10 years of Rising Insane, and it’s important to us to bring up something from those traces,” comments vocalist Aaron Steineker.
“This fact and the lyrical part of the song form an analogy: no matter how much we fight against it, in the and we are driven by the perceived mistakes or misbehaviour of others, to make decisions that trigger a new series of conflicts. It’s a perpetual cycle, like a carousel, until we consciously choose to be a change.
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.
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.“
