Keith said it best in this video. In solidarity, we are reposting his eloquent words.
For anyone who is still uncertain about how we feel:
DRV does not support Fascism, Racism, or ANY Nazi ideology. These abhorrent views do not have anything to do with who we are and what we believe in.
Fuck The Patriot Front

Death Ray Vision's Keith Bennett talks about his band's contribution to 'The Dogs of Hope' benefit album — the song "Only Wolves Remain" — and their personal connection to the compilation's urgent cause.
Featuring new or previously unreleased music from Killswitch Engage, Snapcase, Deadguy, Orange 9mm, Quicksand's Walter Schreifels and more, 'The Dogs of Hope' was created to raise critical funds for the Randolph County Animal Shelter, a no-kill, privately run facility in rural Alabama.
“This isn’t about changing the whole world,” says industry veteran Tom Bejgrowicz, who spearheaded the comp and began volunteering at RCAS in 2020. “It’s about changing a world — one animal at a time.”
'The Dogs of Hope' is due out August 8th and available for pre-order via @iodinerecordings and, on limited-edition colored vinyl, at the link in bio.

“The Dogs of Hope” LP Now + New single “Pigs on the Wing, Pt. 1” by Walter Schreifels of Quicksand & Rival Schools.
Featuring new or previously unreleased music from a genre-defining lineup— Killswitch Engage, Deadguy, Snapcase, Orange 9mm, Jeromes Dream, Walter Schreifels, and more-The Dogs of Hope unites heavyweights from across the hardcore and punk scenes in support of an urgent cause.
The Dogs of Hope is a powerful new compilation from lodine Recordings and Tom Bejgrowicz, created to raise critical funds for the Randolph County Animal Shelter in rural Alabama-a no-kill, privately run facility that’s saved thousands of animal lives despite operating without public funding or county support.
100% of net profits from physical and digital sales go directly to the Randolph County Animal Shelter in Wedowee, AL, where a small team faces overwhelming need every day in a region with no public animal control or spay/neuter programs. The shelter has operated at full capacity since 2021—and continues to do life-saving work against long odds.
“This isn’t about changing the whole world,” says Bejgrowicz, who began volunteering at RCAS in 2020. “It’s about changing a world-one animal at a time.” The Dogs of Hope is a bold reminder that music can do more than inspire-it can save lives.
