British anarcho black metal trio Dawn Ray'd have released the latest video from their forthcoming To Know The Light album. Following the anti-police diatribe of last single The Battle Of Sudden Flame, Go As Free Companions is a call for unity, to not be discouraged to in improving things, and a reminder that the point of resistance and revolution is to enable a good life for all.
Explaining the meaning behind the song, singer/violin guy Simon Barr says, "To Know The Light is an exploration of anarcho-nihilism, and Go As Free Companions is our conclusion. We have chosen not to despair in the face of overwhelming odds, but to live while time allows it. If the future is canceled, if the present is all we have, then each minute must be revolutionary; every moment counts, so live these ideas in every moment.
"It is easy to know what we are against, but we must not forget what we are for. Whilst there is joy, love, empathy, kindness, people in need of your help; we cannot give up. You may sometimes feel like it, but you are not alone and you are not powerless, there are huge numbers of us, let's find each other! Though acrid black clouds race across the horizon we must not forget: today, the sun still shines."
