Starting off the year with a lethal right hook to the chin of the system, the track’s roaring bark is a call to action, imploring us all to fight back against injustice.

Vocalist David Rodriguez says of the new song:

“We’re getting stomped by the world, by the government, by the bad news. We want systemic change, total transformation, degradation to the state. ‘People over Power’: It’s as simple as it sounds.”

It’s a protest song through and through,” drummer Marc “Meggers” Eggers adds. “We want the vibe to be: You listen, get angry, get your crew together, and get out on the streets.
