Anti-Flag Share New Single With Killswitch Engage Frontman

Anti-Flag have joined forces with Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach to unleash the spirited new single Modern Meta Medicine.

Modern Meta Medicine is a scathing attack on the US healthcare system and big pharma and blends Anti-Flag's typically in-your-face punk styling with Leach's powerhouse vocal feature.

Speaking about Modern Meta Medicine via a statement Anti-Flag revealed the inspiration behind the song. 

"Modern Meta Medicine looks to trace back the origins of capitalism’s takeover of our health as global citizens, the Reagan era policies that allowed for billionaires to flourish off of the suffering of so many." “Healthcare is a human right, and we need to steal our rights back from a machine that sees us as commodities and profit margins, however we can.”

 “Let’s be honest, in a world and cultural climate that reaps division and sows a void of nuance in our conversations, writing a record that challenges a healthcare system that puts profit before people can be scary. But an opioid crisis, miracle cures for our weight, our skin, the hair on our heads, a limp dick, and then the simultaneous denial of access to healthcare for the bodies of pregnant people, the poor, Black and immigrant communities is a stark contrast that must be discussed.”

Built around a soaring chorus, Modern Medicine arrives accompanied by a video that blends video footage, cartons, facts and exploitative advertising that show the problematic link between big pharma and politics and healthcare and profit. 

Modern Meta Medicine arrives ahead of Anti-Flag’s forthcoming album, Lies They Tell Our Children which is due to drop on January 6. 

Recorded, produced, and mixed by Jon Lundin, Lies They Tell Our Children features a collection of notable guest features including Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath, Silverstein’s Shane Told, Bad Religion’s Brian Baker and many more.
