Never Gonna Die is the first full-length album of new songs with singer Jim Lindberg, guitarist Fletcher Dragge, drummer Byron McMackin and bassist Randy Bradbury in over a decade. The album's title track is a furious look into “the seemingly immortal practice of handing down our ancient biases, prejudice and religious dogma from each generation to the next.”
“The goal of the song is to try and get young people to finally say enough, and that the system isn’t working,” Lindberg adds. “It’s going to take a massive evolutionary shift in consciousness to change it, starting with the youth, because unless we do, we’ll just have more of the same carnage we’ve seen happening all over the world reincarnated with every new generation.”
