Letlive have made their track Another Offensive Song available to stream.

It’s taken from the band’s upcoming fourth album If I’m The Devil, released on June 8. They previously made the politically-motivated track Good Mourning, America available to stream.

Frontman Jason Butler tells Rolling Stone: “We can no longer be afraid – in a world where we can be shot in the back with unarmed hands up, a world where we must face ridicule if we identify or fall in love with the wrong gender and then must fight to reform mandated law in order to marry that person, or a world where we continue to let policies perpetuate the disenfranchisement of minority groups for fear of being accused of conspiracy or an ‘unrealistic and utopian liberal approach.’

“People may read this and think of it as some overly righteous left leaning bullshit. That’s cool. This ain’t for you. This is a song for those that want to rid themselves of the aforementioned burdens. This is a song for those that want to be free.”

Butler is a guest on the current episode of the Metal Hammer: In Residence show on Spotify, on which he discussed his lyrical motivation and took aim at rock fakers.

The second episode of Metal Hammer: In Residence is available on Spotify now, and also features interviews with Gojira and WWE star Triple H. A Spotify Premium account is required to hear the interview segments.

Letlive launch a US summer tour next month.
