In a teaser video posted today on their website, Rise Against announced a July 15th release date for their eagerly anticipated seventh studio album “The Black Market“ on Interscope Records.

“The Black Market” focuses on the cost of self-awareness. “Rise Against has always been a political band, but also a personal band,” says Tim. “We’ve always had songs that have a foot in both worlds. This album is a lot more introspective to me.” The intensely melodic strains of the first single: “I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore” is a case in point, riding a huge chorus and speaking of universal themes of entrapment and escape.
After 15 years, and six incendiary albums, Rise Against have become one of the most successful, challenging and revered punk rock bands on the planet. Rise Against have sold four million albums globally across their last four releases – with 2011’s Endgame debuting at No. 1 in Germany and Canada, and No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard album chart.
Rise Against have already announced several new shows in support of “The Black Market” including performances at all three Riot Fests in Toronto, Chicago and Denver and the Made In America festival in Los Angeles. More tour dates will be announced soon. For the most up to date information visit the Rise Against website.
