Witness a Rebirth is the fourth full-length album by the Californian hardcore band Strife. It was released in 2012, marking their first album in over a decade, since their 2001 album Angermeans.

Background

The band traveled to Brazil to record the album.[3] Guitarist Andrew Kline commented the album would be "more along the lines of In This Defiance". It was also revealed that Igor Cavalera, formerly of Sepultura and Cavalera Conspiracy, would be handling all drum duties for the album. Also contributing to the album were members of fellow Californian hardcore band Terror.[4]
