The New Jungle Rot Song May Turn You Into a “Burning Cinder”

If you’ve found this week’s latest round of political and ethical catastrophes to be as depressing as I have, here’s a good way to blow off some steam: Jungle Rot’s new song, “A Burning Cinder.” Not only is the music all kinds of killer (DAT RIFF!), but vocalist Dave Matrise says he wrote the lyrics specifically as a fuck you to Trump and his hordes:

“The US Administration, taking a cue from the President, have exposed themselves as the blind leading the blind. I needed to write something demonstrating that there will be retaliation and revolt, ultimately ending up with mass global war and the earth charring into a burning cinder.”

I don’t know if there will be a mass global war that turns the earth into a burning cinder, but I do think there could be a revolt at some point; I mean, history shows that few dictators die peacefully in their sleep. Regardless of what does or does not happen, though, this song rules.
