Prophets of Rage release new music video for ‘Pop Goes The Weapon’

PROPHETS OF RAGE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Pop Goes The Weapon, is the brand new song from the revolutionary musicians. The new song puts a sharp focus on the dire consequences of America’s never-ending gun violence epidemic.

Actual ‘American Carnage’ is powerfully depicted in the track’s gripping video. A comprehensive list of 2019’s mass shootings (so far), including the date, location and number of those killed and injured unspools over scenes from America’s gun-obsessed culture and the blood-stained headlines generated in its aftermath. The video ends as the names of those lost recently in Gilroy, CA, El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH scroll silently by. The three mass shootings all happened within less than 10 days of each other.

“Pop Goes The Weapon reflects the ongoing gun violence happening in America,” states vocalist B-Real. “Guns are both the subject of religious worship AND huge profits in the United States,” adds Tom Morello. “Combined with emboldened white nationalism, the recent epidemic of massacres is little surprise. Pop Goes The Weapon channels our “thoughts & prayers” through Marshall stacks & microphones.”
