Guitarist Jon Votta also notes how the new album touches on apocalyptic themes. He says, “We took inspiration from the Book of Revelation. The bell ringing in the album’s final track, ‘Disarray,’ is supposed to usher in the apocalypse, so Let There Be Anarchy!”

Watch the videos for the hit songs “Vilified” and “Die Hard” below.

Directed by Dale ‘Rage’ Resteghini, both epic videos contain powerful scenes that leave a lasting impression.

“Vilified” features Academy Award winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. as a veteran facing his breaking point. Jon Votta wrote the song in the face of dark news. Votta had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, and one of the only things that kept his mind from his mortality was watching The Joker (2019). With guitar in hand, Votta would play along while watching scenes of the film, like he was ‘scoring’ the movie.

“Die Hard” takes you on a cinematic journey in a futuristic sci-fi fantasy world, where everyone has a Joker card in their hand to play. The video stars Charlie Gillespie as The Prince of Anarchy. Gillespie is a Canadian actor and singer known for his role as Luke Patterson in the Netflix series Julie and the Phantoms.

Art of Anarchy consists of original founding members Jon Votta (guitar), Vince Votta (drums), and guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal (former Guns N’ Roses / Sons of Apollo). In 2023, the band has entered a renaissance, welcoming the talents of vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (former Yngwie Malmsteen / Sons Of Apollo) and bassist Tony Dickinson (SOTO / Trans-Siberian Orchestra) into this new formation.
