Who: Bleeding Through
Song: Faith In Fire
Why This Rocks: It isn’t often you come across bands whose sixth album is the hungriest and perhaps most intense of their career, but with The Great Fire, that’s exactly what Bleeding Through have delivered. With shorter, tighter songs (just one breaks the four-minute mark, while four clock in at under two) the album embraces the band’s hardcore roots in volatile style, scaling back on the overt black-metal influence that dominated 2010’s Bleeding Through. It’s one hell of a ride. ruthless as it gets: short, sharp bursts of metallic noise which spit in the face of those who would get in their way, before charging right through them. Brandan Schieppati’s roar has never sounded so formidable. -AP
