And in addition to today’s exciting album release, the band are exclusively releasing an interview that explains the meaning behind the song “Witness,” as well as a play through to show you just how epic this song really is.

“I feel like lyrically, the song is about going through hard times and learning from it,” Wage War's Cody Quistad says. “It's realizing there's still room to grow, even when you might be down.”
