Behind The Tracks: Riotous Indignation - Indoctrinate (Single) (2024)

Riotous Indignation’s new single “INDOCTRINATE” addresses how people are easily manipulated are often used by those in positions of power.

With only 12-weeks passing since their last single Wheel of Misfortune premiered on Decibel Magazines website, Riotous Indignation has just released another single.

The new single, titled Indoctrinate, sets its lyrical focus on how the divisive, manipulative, and corrupt nature of Americas failing political class has a deliberate and negative effect on the country’s citizenry.

“With a pending U.S. presidential election coming in the next few weeks, I wanted to get this single out because I feel that it will touch a lot of people who are completely disgusted by what is currently happening in our government, but who may not be willing to discuss these things publicly. For those people, I hope they can find their voice in this song.” – states Mike Repel, the band's frontman and lyricist.

Musically the track has some strong elements and a catchy melody that make it memorable yet haunting at the same time. It also contains two guitar solos, the first featuring Scare Crow (Berator, Never We See) who also contributed solos to the band’s prior releases Lords of War, and The End.

Scare Crow stated that:

“This new song touches on how a lack of moral compass can affect people in power. Newer generations are being born and raised with a sense of underlying slavery to the government and other components of our society which seem to inhibit free speech and seem to be controlling our every move. With crushing riffs and cunning lyrics, this new release takes you through a depth of how we as a society must break free from what destroys our true will.”
