Wolves is the upcoming eighth studio album by the American melodic hardcore band Rise Against. It will be released on June 9, 2017, and will be released through Virgin. The album's lead single, "The Violence", was released on April 20, 2017. During the writing process, the album was to be titled "Mourning in America", however after the American 2016 presidential election, the title and the song's lyrical theme no longer held true. Vocalist Tim Mcilrath started in an interview with The Shrine Auditorium that "Wolves isn't about creating a safe space, it's about creating a space that's dangerous for injustice".
The lyrics in Wolves follow the band's usual theme, being politically based, however this time around the band tackles the 2016 American presidential elections. Songs likes How Many Walls, Welcome to the Breakdown and the title track oppose the views of Donald Trump (just as they did George W. Bush, during his time in office), while tracks like House on Fire and Politics of Love are more personal, however retain some political leanings.
