JAKARTA - Art Of Anarchy is back after six years with a new single, Vilified. The song was taken from the band's third studio album, Let There Be Anarchy, which was released February 16 next year through Parliament Music.

The video clip of Valified, directed by Dale "Rage" Resteghini, which can be seen below, features Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr., along with former Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate.

"Vilified is not a song, but a statement, message, and warning. This is a reflection of many issues raised to the surface in our society. Mental illness, mass shooting, institution, people are vilified without information or proper legal proceedings," said Gooding Jr. about this song quoted from Blabbermouth.

"Vilified will undoubtedly become one of the rock songs that has a cultural meaning that will be conveyed to future generations. Because in the end, we have to fight against the desire to badmouth what we don't understand!" he continued.

Joining the founding members Art Of Anarchy; Jon Votta (guitar), Vince Votta (drums) and guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Guns N' roses, Sons Of Apollo) in the band's new formation are vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (Yngwie Malmsteen, Sons Of Apollo, Journey), and bassist Tony Dickinson (Soto, Trans-Siberian Orchestra).

Soto replaces the previous vocalist Scott Stapp (Creed) who replaced the band's first vocalist, Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilot).
