WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
Without having the lyrics in front of me for "Weight Of The World", it's hard to tell exactly what the song is about. I took a few listens but the vocalist's accent makes it a little hard to get all the words. The song title suggest dealing with some sort of pressure or dealing with something that's heavy emotionally. So that's all I got!

MY THOUGHTS ON BASTARDS ON PARADE:
Bastards On Parade formed as a band back in 2007, hailing from Spain. The band released four EP's between 2008 and 2012. Their debut full length album dropped in 2011, titled "Tales From The Death Shore". This album was self-released by the band. In 2013, the band signed a deal with Wolverine Records to drop their sophomore effort, "Empty Bottles & Broken Things". The band's most recent release, 2019's "Cara A Liberdade", is the band's first release sung in their native language. In 2022, Bastards On Parade supported Bad Religion on their "40 Years +2" tour. Bastards On Parade plays a brand of Celtic punk made popular by bands like Flogging Molly and my hometown boys, Dropkick Murphys. I'm not sure if I found out about these guys on a Celtic punk compilation album or if I heard about them through DyingScene.com. Either way, this is a good Celtic punk band. They may not stand out like some bands of that ilk, but nonetheless, Bastards On Parade are a solid band. I hope one day they release their "Cara A Liberdade" album in English. We'll see.
