Cruel Melody, the 2007 debut from Black Light Burns, came out on June 5 through I AM: WOLFPACK, the label run by Ross Robinson. It's Wes Borland's baby: the guitarist had walked away from Limp Bizkit back in 2001, knocked around side projects like Eat the Day and The Damning Well, and in 2005 finally built an industrial rock band with himself out front.
He had heavy company. Danny Lohner produced it and pitched in on the songs, Josh Freese pounded the drums, and Josh Eustis added his own touches. The result grinds and churns, cold machine textures clamped around real songs, and it drew strong notices from critics. "Lie" is the track that surfaced on a countdown. A covers-and-B-sides package, Cover Your Heart and the Anvil Pants Odyssey, followed the next summer.
