Illinois thrash titans MISFIRE are pleased to unleash their new video for “Born To Die.” The ferocious track comes by way of the band’s Product Of The Environment full-length out now on MNRK Heavy. Directed by Edgar Castro-Salazar and edited by the band’s own James Nicademus, the live performance video captures the band at their most volatile.

The band comments, “We’re very excited to be doing our first ever headlining run with our friends in Raider. This set will feature songs from the first two albums as well as some special surprises. Stay heavy! See you all soon!”

Declared Metal Hammer Germany upon the record’s release, “anyone who loves the thrash genre in its original form will happily add this album to their collection.” Heavy Music HQ concurred, “Product Of The Environment proves to be the sound of a new toxic waltz.” Added Dead Rhetoric, “Product Of The Environment contains a lot of the sinister power that put the original Bay Area movement on the map along with a modest amount of modern angst and sophistication to appeal to second/third generation followers of this movement.” 

The record features cover art by Rick Zesati and is available on CD, LP, and digital formats.

While RAIDER is known for their sheer unbridled savagery, the overarching theme of their music is deceptively positive. “Life is hard the whole way through and each and every one of us has our own personal hell to contend with in order to find meaning,” the band elaborates. “We want to be a voice that is in your corner of the ring for the battles we face together, and the battles you face alone. That being said, there is no rule that facing life’s challenges should make us perpetually miserable and that is what our live show is all about. We want people to feel welcome no matter who they are or where they come from, and to have FUN with us. If we can bring people joy and empower them even just a little bit to take on the next big thing, we have done our work.”
