Ruled By Raptors release their outstanding new EP, Silent Sound, on Friday 15th July. The highly praised alternative quartet will also unveil a new single and video, “Cleftones”, in tandem with the EP. With that in mind, we asked the UK riff slingers to give us this exclusive track by track breakdown of the EP:
Waves
Our most explosive song to date, this song explores geopolitical inaction towards climate change in a big way, and highlighting how it affects us as individuals, and where it will lead us as a species. The planet doesn’t need us, we need the planet.
Dance of Wolves [video link]
A purposeful attempt to use descriptive imagery to explain the thoughts and feelings of a neuro divergent person, acknowledging the often-thankless job of our loved ones who work tirelessly to support us during our darkest moments. A song of love and devotion but from a different perspective.

Cleftones
An analogy for the rapid rise of the extreme right authoritarian and the reactant left wing anarchist of the modern era. It tells the story of the propaganda and misinformation and how much of an effect it has on society as a whole and the perilous path that extremism leads.
Oxy’s Moron
Explores the difficulties of coping with neuro divergency and the turmoil it can cause. The song deals with so called hot thoughts and compulsive thinking again from the point of view of the sufferer. An introspective look at dealing with fluctuating and deteriorating mental health; and the internal struggles we can face day-to-day keeping our heads above water.”
