Daiy Heavy: As Blood Runs Black - In Dying Days

This song comes from metalcore band, As Blood Runs Black, debut album, Allegiance, which came out in 2006.

I was first alerted to this song by a then-popular youtube aired music show - FPE TV - which used to showcase little known metal artists' songs, gear, or often just have extended interviews with the bands.

The then-guitarists and current bassist just ripped into this melodic but brutal onslaught, without even a click track, and this impressed me and I've been a fan of the band ever since.

The band's overall guitar and bass tone is heavily distorted and bright, but this serves well to cut through the heavy drumming and often low pitched grunts that come from the vocalist.

This song combines three main riffs with some variations on each riff, but the star here is the breakdown.

I can't imagine how insane the pit at an As Blood Runs Black show would be when the breakdown of this song kicks in.

I mean seriously: "BRING DA MUTHAFUCKIN RUCKUS!!!!!"
