Greg Graffin described Requiem For Dissent as one of the most uplifting songs on New Maps Of Hell. He expressed that living in this world can often lead to a pessimistic outlook, but deep down, we still hold onto that same hopeful belief we had as passionate and rebellious teenagers. We hope that when people hear this music, they will be inspired to take action and think, “This is not right, and I’m going to make a change.” The concept behind Requiem For Dissent is to awaken the spirit of the rebellious individual from their metaphorical grave. Additionally, guest musicians Vanna, who were previously signed to Epitaph Records, contributed their vocals to the song.

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
