Hard rock band RIKETS returns with a gripping new single and video “FEED,” the third release from their highly anticipated album Tales from the Construct AlphaA v.1, due later this year via Godsize Records/Symphonic Music.
Produced by the acclaimed team known as The Syndicate—Ben Schigel and Scott Rose—“FEED” is a relentless commentary on society’s digital manipulation.
The band states, “‘FEED’ taps into the construct of the system feeding the mass populace lies and propaganda thru social media and news feeds, all while the public unknowingly has AI models built of every citizen inside the Matrix. The song hides a love story within the verses, then slams the listener with a pounding anthemic chorus in true RIKETS fashion.”
With a pounding anthemic chorus—
“And now they’re feeding you lies / It’s how they run your life / So with multiple screens / You will FEED our machines”—the single delivers the kind of aggressive, thought-provoking earworm RIKETS is known for.
“FEED” was shot in stunning 8K, directed by Ben Schigel and edited by Scott Rose, incorporating unsettling flicker fusion visuals that enhance the band’s shadowy and enigmatic aesthetic. The result is a visually arresting video that lingers in the mind.
The music was produced and mixed by Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Switched, MGK, Walls of Jericho) and written by Schigel, Scott Rose, and BG Simpson (Anchored, Filter), bringing together a powerhouse of talent across the alternative and metal scenes.

RIKETS, originally formed in the early 2000s, rebooted in 2019 after a decade-long hiatus. Now sporting a reinvigorated lineup, the band is led by mastermind Scott Rose (vocals/guitar), with Nic Bell (bass – Left4Dead), BG Simpson (guitar – Anchored, Filter), Trent Mercer (guitar – Left4Dead), and Ben Schigel (drums – Switched) bringing sonic intensity and polished aggression to the modern era.
Following the success of previous singles including “Infected and Controlled,” RIKETS continues to build momentum with “FEED,” further teasing the dark, conceptual world behind Tales from the Construct AlphaA v.1.
“FEED” was released on June 20th via Godsize Records/Symphonic Music on all major streaming platforms, accompanied by the official music video on YouTube.
