Bryan Adams has released the video for his brand new track ‘War Machine’, the highly anticipated second single from his newly launched independent record label Bad Records.
The new song follows the previously released track ‘Rock And Roll Hell’, and like its predecessor, ‘War Machine’ was initially penned by Adams, Jim Vallance, and Gene Simmons for the 1982 KISS album Creatures of the Night.
The song's signature riff was developed from a bass riff played to Adams by Gene Simmons, “The title came to me quickly, being the other song we’d written was about hell, War was the obvious theme to coincide with it,” says Adams.
Adams expresses his eagerness to finally share ‘War Machine’, noting that the current global climate makes it a fitting time for its release.
“I aimed to create something monumental for the ‘War Machine’ video, and I’d been collaborating with CGI director Ben Ib on a peace-themed video entitled ‘What If There Were No Sides At All’. To contrast the peace message of that video, I proposed to Ben that we develop the ‘War Machine’ video showcasing chaos and destruction. In the video, the tyrant that is leading the war ultimately faces consequences for his actions.”
Both new tracks, ‘War Machine’ and ‘Rock And Roll Hell’, mark the launch of Bad Records, with a special 7" vinyl single out August 30th, when ‘War Machine’ will also become available on all streaming platforms. The 7” single is available to pre-order now ahead of its release here.
Throughout his career, Adams has achieved numerous accolades. He's topped charts in over 40 countries and received prestigious honours including a Grammy, 18 Juno Awards (Canada), 3 nominations for Academy Awards and 5 nominations for Golden Globes. He’s been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, cementing his status as a global music icon.
