“VENGEANCE” – new single is out now! The album will be released soon!
BORN A REBEL
BORN A REBEL blends rap and progressive metal into a rare, intense fusion that will explode in your ears! Politically left-wing, their lyrics champion freedom of expression while denouncing racism and authoritarianism.
Strong driving drumbeats mixed with fat baselines and punchy bright metal guitars create an ear popping blend of heavy hitting metal music that will get you hooked and keep you coming back for more.
Through their politically charged lyrics the band openly moves against mass surveillance, state terror, greed driven warfare, racism, social disparity and actively stands up for social equality, free speech, whistleblowers, civil rights and world peace.
BORN A REBEL is a symbol of the unity of nations and their people. The band roots itself in multiculturalism with its members coming from different parts of the globe.

COVER STORY
The cover picture shows a scene of the East German uprising of 17th of June 1953, which began with a strike action by East Berlin construction workers. They protested against the bad economic conditions in the German Democratic Republic in the postwar area of World War II and the political decision of the communist government to raise work norms and work quotas.
The strike turned into a widespread uprising. More than one million people all over East Germany took to the streets to demand fair working conditions, free elections and power to the people. State agencies were occupied and prisoners of the regime freed. In the end the revolt was violently suppressed by tanks of the Soviet occupation forces and Kasernierte Volkspolizei. More than 100 people were killed, others were abducted. Without the help of the Soviet military the SED regime would have lost its power, like it did years later in 1989. The date, the 17th of June 1953, was celebrated as a public holiday in West Germany up until the German Reunification.
STORY BEHIND THE NEW SINGLE “VENGEANCE”
New single “Vengeance” released on May 1st. Check it out and read the story behind the song!
The song “Vengeance” is inspired by the movie Ghost Trail – original French title Les Fantômes. The fictional drama by French director Jonathan Millet is based on true events.
The Syrian Hamid has survived the horrors of the notorious Syrian torture prison Sednaya. He flees to Europe and joins a secret group of Syrian survivors. These “shadow fighters” operate covertly, attempting to track down war criminals and torturers from the Assad regime who are hiding in European cities, in order to bring them to justice and achieve accountability. The “shadow fighters” portrayed in the film, who search for perpetrators across Europe, are inspired by real networks of activists, lawyers and survivors who collect evidence and enable legal proceedings.
The song’s lyrics go even further, extending this example to various countries where citizens and people from other nations are oppressed, imprisoned and tortured.
