Rise Against have launched The A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together), a fan-driven community initiative supporting their tenth studio album Ricochet, out now via Loma Vista Recordings. The announcement arrives alongside a new music video for the album’s title track, “Ricochet,” and a highlight reel capturing the project’s immersive kickoff event.

Built around the idea that music is a collective experience, The A.R.T. Project invites fans directly into the band’s creative process. Designed to celebrate collaboration and expression during divided times, the initiative reinforces the community Rise Against have cultivated across more than 25 years.

The campaign began with an immersive art activation in Los Angeles, where dozens of dedicated fans were invited to create original poster art inspired by Ricochet’s lyrics and themes. Those pieces became the visual backdrop for new music videos, with fans featured alongside the band as they performed standout tracks from the album. A short-form sit-down conversation filmed on-site documents the experience and the philosophy behind the project.

With Ricochet, Rise Against delivers one of their most urgent and high-stakes releases to date. The album has drawn praise from outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, VICE, and Consequence for its immediacy and emotional weight.

The A.R.T. Project marks the beginning of a series of new music videos set to roll out in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Rise Against will launch their 2026 North American headlining tour on March 3 in Providence, RI, joined by special guest Destroy Boys. The run includes stops in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Pittsburgh, Madison, Spokane, and more, before festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival.

Earlier this month, members of Rise Against also joined Tom Morello for the “Defend Minnesota” benefit, underscoring the band’s continued commitment to activism alongside their music.

Tickets for the 2026 tour are on sale now via the band’s official website.

Formed in early 2022, Townsville metal outfit Varrim burst onto the scene with their debut single Buried in the Hills in August 2022, immediately setting the tone for their signature sound: angry, heavy, and groovy, with blasts of rage, wicked hooks, and evil breakdowns.
