“A Wise Man”, the new video from New York hardcore legends AGNOSTIC FRONT, can be seen below. The song is taken from the band’s eleventh album, “The American Dream Died”, which was produced by MADBALL singer Freddy Cricien and engineered, mixed and mastered by Paul Miner (H2O, TERROR). The record, which features guest appearances by Cricien, Toby Morse (H2O) and Lou Koller (SICK OF IT ALL), was made available as digital download, on vinyl as well as on CD. A limited bundle with an exclusive t-shirt was also on sale.

In a recent interview with RockSverige.se, AGNOSTIC FRONT singer Roger Miret was asked at what point the American dream died. “You know, that’s just a statement from me,” he responded. “I’m just stating that, little by little, this country is leaning towards losing its values, Americans are losing their constitutional rights. You see it happening, and it’s no secret; it’s out there and you can see what’s going on.”

He continued: “The main focal point to why we call the record ‘The American Dream Died’ and how this all started is the collapse of the housing market. When that collapsed, and you saw what followed with the banking collapse and then the world’s banks collapsed. Everything went to hell all over the world pretty much, and that’s when I clearly was making that statement, but it followed through.”

Roger added: “It’s a little bit of everything. You watch all of the corruption on all these higher levels. Police corruption and all this police violence going on. Everything just escalated. I’m not saying the American dream when it comes to cars, apple pie, baseball… it’s all there and anybody can come to America. You can buy a home, but you won’t own it for 30 years. America is a beautiful country, but the government is just so corrupt, it’s destroying your dreams.”
