First thing's first, Mark certainly gets my vote as the most improved vocalist of the past decade...
He's come a long, long way even since All I Was!

As for the single... It's finally here and it's phenomenal! The vibe is so different from anything this band has released.
I hear pieces of Flying Monkeys, Proof, Dust, Fall Again and maybe some Never Wrong...
Those strings really give off huge Skillet vibes.
The bridge sounds straight from The Last Hero playbook. What a stomper of a breakdown!
The vocals and that outro solo are 100% Tremonti and I can already tell I'll be overplaying this one for the next month or so! :headbang

I'm still not entirely convinced that this isn't a sequel to A Dying Machine...

The latter half of their current material has sided more to the anthemic AB-style stuff with a little twist, rather than a more retro speed or thrash inspired atmosphere.
I think he hit a great balance on ADM, some of the best properly heavy stuff he's done alongside stuff like Desolation, which is to my eyes one of the best songs he's written full stop. Whereas on All I Was, I felt like a lot of the time it was just wedging a metal riff in as an intro/pre-chorus of a standard song.

Definitely interesting to see where the new drummer takes things, this song probably isn't the best sample of what he'll be like. The teaser sounded tasty though.
For all of the hope that it brings...

The ADM heavy stuff was heavy but in a different way. The stuff that vibed with me most was 'classic' sounding riffs on earlier releases like 'You Waste Your Time', 'Last Mistake' and 'Radical Change'. GW always found great ways to get a skank beat or some great double pedal stuff in there too.

This is very 'modern' which is cool but I live the classic stuff too.

Anyone got any thoughts on song meaning lyrically?

This was in an interview shared a few pages back; "It was one of my favorite tunes from the get-go," he explains. "At first listen, you might think it's about someone who loves another person. In my brain, it's clearly about being overly obsessed and overzealous in their care, like a stalker."

Might be the best music video of Mark's entire carreer. But this does not mean too much if you look at the Creed and AB music videos. :D

That part is cool, but it's not really a guitar solo exactly. And it's one of those things that is perhaps less impressive technically than what it sounds like to someone who does not play the guitar.

I think he's done much cooler, unique, and tasteful stuff on the guitar than that.

Not feeling this one at all. It's leaning far too heavily into the pop/modern metal sound for my tastes, which is disappointing because I felt with ADM (especially the title track) that Tremonti had really matured in terms of writing metal music. I am also worried about the loss of Garrett on this album, ngl.

Yeah, it's a rather standard legato pattern with open strings. Not really impressing on a technical level. Sounds cool tho. AC/DC built a whole song around such a riff (Thunderstruck).

Hmmm, not super impressed upon my first listen. Quite a comedown from the track he previewed last month.

Just listening to this in the car now. Better speakers.


I see Tanner snuck into the mixing room and cranked his bass volume all the way up lol. I like it. Wish the drums had some more “pop” though. They really have this noise I’m not loving in the car, the drums. Loud war maybe? I don’t know.

As per usual with Elvis - I can't hear much in this mix especially with the crashes blasting all over the place.

I think I need to get my ears checked - I'm seeing lots of people here say it sounds like Cauterize/Dust and not ADM - but it sounds EXACTLY like ADM to me! Maybe it's the lyrics...

Cool song though, I like it but I don't understand why it was chosen as the lead single. Nothing about it sounds like something that will get played much on the radio, even Octane. Gotta give some love to that chorus though - normally something that short and simple won't do it for me but that vocal melody is just so good.

I agree. Definitely more if a ADM sound/vibe from it IMO.

Totally agree. It sounds exactly like a ADM song.
