Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has long been a thorn in the side of social activists, but their latest actions have sparked outrage across the globe.

From DNA swabbing at protests to separating families at the border, ICE's methods are coming under increasing scrutiny.

Enter Extinction A.D., a band with a history of addressing systemic injustices through their music.

Their latest single, "Thaw," is an urgent call to action against the abuse of federal power in the ICE organization.

The song's vocalist, Rick Jimenez, shares his frustration with the 'regressive back-to-the-past thinking' infiltrating heavy metal and hardcore scenes.

"The video for 'Thaw' serves as a rallying cry, bringing like-minded individuals together through music.

Extinction A.D.'s message is clear: this song isn't just theirs – it's everyone's fight against oppressive systems.
