Bad Religion have posted a new track.
The Profane Rights Of Man is the second standalone single to arrive from the band this year, following this summer's The Kids Are Alt-Right. It's release has set tongues wagging that there's a follow up to 2013's 'True North' just around the corner.
According to a statement from vocalist Greg Graffin (via Stereogum), the track was inspired by the 1789 document, The Universal Rights of Man.
“Since we’re a band that has a longstanding tradition of championing the enlightenment, we wanted to emphasize that our society is based on a profane rather than a sacred theological justification for human rights. In sum, the song is about Bad Religion’s belief in a secular basis for the protection of human rights for all people.”
Clocking in at just over two minutes, the track is textbook latter-era Bad Religion and explodes from the blocks before a half-time break that nods to some memorable moments on 'The Empire Strikes First'. Throw in some oozin aahs for good measure and, well, you get the picture.
