In anticipation of the album’s release, they have shared the official video for the new song "Bound by Silence," featuring Armored Saint and former Anthrax vocalist John Bush 

Commented Alex Skolnick: "Bringing in John Bush to sing on 'Bound by Silence' feels like a real coup. He has the perfect voice for this track musically, as well as the ability capture the intensity of the lyrics in terms of storytelling. A great addition the Metal Allegiance family."

Said Mark Menghi: "'Bound by Silence' tells the true tale of an amazing Vietnam War vet, a brave soul who told me his incredible story with only a few months left to live due to pancreatic cancer. It's a very personal song to me. I've since come to learn he recently passed on while leaving a great legacy behind. Forever bound by silence."
