The song, which deals with the political strife and Communism that has plagued Teglas's home country of Hungary, is different because "we have never used this fast beat before and it gives us a refreshing new way to play a fast song," says bassist Rasmussen. "Poverty For All" represents a sonic and songwriting shift for Ignite. It's also the band's commentary on our country's occupation of Iraq and the government's agenda. "Bleeding" sets the tone for the album, with its angry, yet melodic pulse. He pushed us to get more melodic in the songs." He's right. He made us think outside of the box and helped take our songwriting up a few notches. "He's produced great records, like the last Social Distortion and Motorhead records. "Having Cameron Webb behind this album from the pre-production steps to the mastering has brought a great new element to Ignite," reveals Teglas. Ignite have paid particular attention to melodic detail and once again, the soaring vocals of Teglas take center stage. Sure, songs like "Bleeding" and "Let It Burn" have so much energy you'd think singer Zoli Teglas, his longtime co-conspirator Brett Rasmussen, and their crew downed several cases of Red Bull before recording Our Darkest Days, but there is a depth and breadth of focused songwriting on this album. On Our Darkest Days, Ignite have progressed beyond their punk/hardcore foundation. The songs that populate Our Darkest Days will stand the test of time you'll listen to them when you've got kids of your own. But these aren't songs reserved solely for reckless, rebellious youth or the band's diehard fans. On Our Darkest Days, Ignite push forward with positive momentum, showing off a matured version of the intelligent, socially and politically aware, melodic brand of hardcore that fans have come to expect.
