Following the acclaimed release of their latest album Wild Dogs Unchained, via Massacre Records, legendary US heavy metal power trio THE RODS have unveiled the new video for “Tears for the Innocent.” A haunting and emotionally charged track, which stands as one of the most poignant moments on the record.

Written and sung by guitarist/vocalist David “Rock” Feinstein, “Tears for the Innocent” is a heartfelt reflection on the devastation of war and the human suffering it leaves behind.

“This song is about senseless war, and the innocent people that die because of it,” explains Feinstein. “We cry for those innocent people and feel sorry for what they have lost. Their homes, their land, their lives.”
