There are two kinds of control. Control over others and control of yourself. Mystic Rage battles against the former to gain the latter. While society and government slip further downhill all the time, the members of Mystic Rage just want to be in charge of their own little piece of planet. Without governments and corporations doing everything they can to steal their money and their freedom. Without critics telling them what kind of art they should be making.
Mystic Rage’s music is strongly influenced by the harmonized vocals of Alice In Chains, the songwriting prowess of The Beatles, and the groove and heaviness of Pantera. Their latest release "Revolution" explores the battle for control on three levels of their lives: the government at large, the naysayers around them, and the often-uncontrollable interpersonal tragedies.
"Revolution", inspired by the recent presidential election, says that both sides are wrong. Lots of things are messed up and we need a significant catalyst to move change in the right direction. "Anarchy could work for me." It’s a step that might be necessary for everyone to realize what kind of messed up system we have and to rebuild what we’ve destroyed.
"On My Own Terms" focuses closer to home on those around the band that would rather constantly suggest what they "should" be doing instead of supporting them in the art they’re passionate about.
"Life Goes On" goes even deeper to discuss how to let go control of a situation and move on when someone leaves your life.
Mystic Rage doesn’t desire control over others, only over themselves. And when they find people that believe in their art, they’re welcome to come along too.
