It's been three years since their last album, "Here and Now," the Canadian rock band Nickelback are back in action, and just unveiled a protest-heavy new music video to their latest politically-themed single, "Edge of a Revolution," the lead single from their upcoming eighth studio album, "No Fixed Address," due out on November 4th under Nickelback's new label, Republic Records.
The rising rock radio track was described as a departure from Nickelback's original sound and it's more like a song with a political protest message that's not been part of their hit catalog to date. Nickelback have found their "anti-system" calling just like Green Day found theirs years ago in the “American Idiot” era. In the interview, the frontman Chad Kroeger stated the song touches upon "fat cats on Wall Street" and was inspired by current events such as the war in Ukraine and how the government has been treating their citizens.
Directed by ace song video director Wayne Isham - who has directed song videos for artistes like Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, KISS, Roxette and Britney Spears - the "Edge of a Revolution” visual stays true to the song lyrics and features footage from cultural and political protests like Egypt's Arab Spring and the Occupy movement, along with Kroeger and the rest of band members performing and chanting rebellious before a dark and crowd classroom full of young kids at a school class where they'll teach them to doubt the current system and fight for their own beliefs and not what society tells them to do that they ultimately decide to reject in favor of much-needed change as they pushing over classroom furniture and scattering papers in the air chanting "we want change!" As the rock band preach their speech to the sat-down younglings, footage of wars, arresting scenes of soldiers, riot police, demonstrations, and repression acts will be displayed on the wall behind them.
