Onyx, the third album from Michigan rockers Pop Evil, came out on May 14, 2013, with "Trenches" out ahead of it as the first single that February. Johnny K produced it, Jay Ruston mixed and Paul Logus mastered, with Dave Bassett adding vocal production. Leigh Kakaty sang, Dave Grahs and Nick Fuelling handled guitars, Matt DiRito played bass and Chachi Riot sat behind the drums.
It's slick, heavy, radio-ready hard rock, chunky alt-metal riffs under Kakaty's big, anthemic hooks. "Trenches" went all the way to the top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, and "Torn to Pieces" followed it onto the countdowns. It entered the Billboard 200 at number 39, selling 10,000 copies in its first week, and had moved 122,000 in the US by July 2015.
