PUBLISHER’S PICK OF THE WEEK (By Adam Waldman)

KINGDOM COLLAPSE – “Uprise”

In 1991, the inspirational anthem was Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name Of.”  In 2009, it was Muse’s “Uprising.”  Fast forward to 2020 and a world gone mad, and we have Kingdom Collapse’s “Uprise.”  The only difference this time around is that Kingdom Collapse’s powerful new single was written before we had ever heard the term “Covid-19,” or witnessed the cataclysmic event that spurred protests around the world.  Are they the Nostradamus of rock or merely observers of the human condition?  My guess is that the latter is true, but it doesn’t make “Uprise” any less impactful.

Channeling the palpable angst of Adam Gontier’s edgier work with Three Days Grace and current work with Saint Asonia, Kingdom Collapse frontman Jonathan Norris delivers this anthem of hope and inspiration with passion and sincerity.  “Uprise” challenges listeners to rise above all of the negativity and hate that is festering in the world by standing up for what you believe in, and to be the change that you want to see in the world.  Songs like this have a way of galvanizing people by showing them that there is strength in numbers, and that none of us is in this alone even if it feels like it at times.  “Uprise” is exactly the battle cry that we need during these times of strife and uncertainty.
