Rebel Noise has Coilguns covered. Here’s my review of the band’s 2021 EP, and here are some others—“Coilguns Unleash New Album Odd Love with Explosive Single ‘Generic Skincare’!” from 2024 and “Coilguns Unleash New Single ‘Carbon Magic’ Ahead of Upcoming Album” from a few days ago.

Now comes “Peace Trader,” a new single about testing a country’s values and you not seeing that most people don’t care to live up to them.

The song starts with an octave chord and quieted drums. At 10 seconds, the sound goes big, raw, and passionate. It feels like good Deftones. A few chords swing back and forth to screams of “Tell me, what have we done with our history of peaceful force? Yet, we still have hopes!” Then the bass and a guitar drop out, the intro is recalled—octave chord and drums pushed back in the mix so the almost spoken message can be heard:

Still thought that our land would export dialog instead of weapons
Still naive enough to support what we thought was our main goal
International help and solutions for a solidar world
But you’ve traded it all and pretend to be forced now to cope

Then the sound explodes again. The most effective part comes at 2:40 with a falsetto mourn followed by the realization, however fleeting, that "No one’s land here, but a place to die; we will mourn them all, we will mourn them all.” Then belief in life after death returns.

Unlike migration flows, Coilguns runs tight.
