The album serves as a manifesto for finding meaning in an increasingly chaotic world, symbolizing the era of its creation.
It confronts daily societal challenges, touching on human rights, climate change, and the universal experience of loss. The album also explores the chaos and anxiety of daily life. Joel De La Garza, lead vocalist and songwriter, captures the record’s energy. He says, “This record is about making a choice and taking a stand…will we succumb to all the meaningless chaos that surrounds us, or will we wake up every day ready to fight to keep the wolves at bay?”
Rival Waves use A Meaningless Chaos as a rallying cry against despair, hopelessness, apathy, and fear.
Creating The Album
The recording process united the group around a shared vision. Guitarist Marc Schulz says,“Going through the process of recording and writing songs for this album really changed our perception of what this band can be – what this band is.”
A Meaningless Chaos captures a live, raw immediacy addressing current themes. Producer Frenchie Smith remarks, “Being melodic, heartfelt, AND dangerous adds a level of edge that might just rattle people.”
The band honed this edge through powerful performances. This preparation, combined with the producer’s bold approach to the recording sessions, infuses the album with palpable energy.
The outcome? A compelling collection of songs addressing love, loss, anger, fear, and release.
