How does Issue.3 present the song?
In Issue.3, Hero Of War by Rise Against appears as the third of four songs in the Chords section. The edition presents only the band name, the song title, and a Spotify link. There are no quoted lyrics or commentary about the song.

Rise Against returns in Issue.11 with The Eco-Terrorist In Me and in Creative.11, where the author speaks about the band.
What does the Chords section say?
The section opens by saying that, with so much talking about creativity, it would not feel right to end the issue without sharing some music: ideas do not come out of anywhere, and inspiration comes from consuming artistic expressions. It adds that new ideas tend to come from new references, that always listening to the same old music is like being stuck in a box, and that what is metamodern captures the essence between what is nostalgic and what is new, so we need both. The edition does not comment on the songs one by one.
