The Glorious Rabbits have returned with We Own It All, the opening strike from their upcoming fourth album, Cauldron of Madness, set to land in early 2025. After their inaugural release, The Glorious Rabbits Conquer the World in 2017, and two impressive records in 2023 (Rabbits 2.0 and The Year of the Rabbits), they now lay fresh claim to rock’s most cerebral edges.
Penned by David N. Straight, recorded at Primetime Studios in Akron, Ohio, and finely tuned by Jeff Williams and mastering engineer John Beres (Artistone Entertainment), this track melds theatre with damnation.
We Own It All paints the devil not as a mere emblem of evil, but as the dark hand on society’s steering wheel, dragging us all through chaos that reigns harder year after year. The narrative’s sardonic swagger intensifies with each boastful lyric until the titular “we” gives way to the ego’s isolated roar: “I own it all.”
Sonically, it’s as if someone siphoned the ashes of a Sisters of Mercy vinyl and set them alight—gothic atmospherics swirl into a rock opera-fuelled storm, its histrionic edges sharpened to a gleaming point.
We Own It All isn’t content with predictable riffs or hackneyed theatrics; it grinds its parable into your psyche, forging a damning vision that’s as meta as it is merciless.
We Own It All will be officially released on February 2nd; find your preferred way to listen by heading to The Glorious Rabbits’ official website. Keep up to date with all the latest album news via Facebook.
