Bristol, UK-based band RXPTRS - who blend rock, metal, punk, and hardcore with a seamlessness that is enviable, creating something that is unique that seethes with boundless energy - have announced their forthcoming album Living Without Death’s Permission, out June 24 via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records. To taste a piece of the new music, RXPTRS have dropped an official video for "Rock Bottom (Is A Stepping Stone)" track.

"Money and religion don’t compute," says singer Simon Roach, pulling back the curtain on the song's genesis. "I've always found it farcical when those two worlds collide. During the pandemic, I saw a millionaire televangelist asking for money - from people poorer than himself - so he could cure them of COVID. He was basically lying to their faces. I saw red and wrote this song."

Roach continues, "We knew we had to make this video and portray what this man was doing, in our own way. I think this situation and these things are some of lowest, darkest forms of our nature. We wanted to show the exploitation. As we developed the idea, it got darker and more angry. So we had to take a step back, and focus on the funnier side of it. It truly is farcical so it deserves a parody."
