Rise Against - Hero Of War

As controversal as ever, catch Rise Against's video, 'Hero Of War' from their latest album, 'Appeal To Reason'.

Never ones to shy away from topics, Rise Against's 'Hero Of War' finds the band as always tackling issues that other bands tend to shy away from. Here is what the band had to say about their latest offering:

"We've just completed our new video for the song 'Hero Of War' off of our record, 'Appeal To Reason'. 'Hero Of War' is the story of one soldier, not all soldiers, as he battles not just the war around him, but the war that rages within. Inspired by true events, we were given the choice to either document the tribulations of these times as they unfold around us, or ignore them. To ignore these problems, in our opinion, is letting down the brave men and women who risk everything. 'Hero Of War' is our attempt to lift the stigma that surrounds everything from the skyrocketing suicide rate of troops, torture, internal sexual abuse, an under-funded VA, and the growing number of military personnel fighting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as they return home. We hope this song and this video help the simmering dialogue about these problems evolve into a rolling boil".
