"New Dark Ages" comes off New Maps of Hell, Bad Religion's 2007 album, with Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz sharing the words and the music. Graffin sings lead, and the guitars come three deep, Gurewitz alongside Brian Baker and Greg Hetson, with Jay Bentley's bass driving underneath.
Joe Barresi produced, engineered and mixed it, and he gives the band a heavy, dark-hued punch without sanding down the melodic snarl: a pounding punk-rock march with a chorus built for a roomful of raised fists.
