"Battle Royale" became such a favorite on tour that the band re-recorded it for Deceiver. The EP received critical acclaim and the band hit the road constantly to support the release and build anticipation for Deceiver, their first full-length album. Taken from their 2009 EP, Empire, "Battle Royale" announced the arrival of a fresh, new face on the scene. Our late-'00s musical journey ends this week with "Battle Royale", the debut single from The Word Alive. It’s a genre-defying track with several styles to keep you on your toes.
The song includes some very difficult drum parts and a fun breakdown midway through. "Caraphernelia", written about Fuentes' ex-girlfriend, was the first single released from Selfish Machine and features a special guest appearance from Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember. The album reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and was followed by a lengthy tour to promote the album. By the time their sophomore effort, Selfish Machine, was released in 2010, the band had built up a sizable following. Brothers Vic & Mike Fuentes formed Pierce the Veil in 2006 and released their debut album the following year. "Caraphernelia" from Pierce the Veil is the third track from the Southern California-based band to join the Rock Band 4 DLC library. There’s a grinding, chunky breakdown where you can catch your breath before diving into the intense finale. All instruments are a challenge - guitars are particularly tough in this one. "Lemon Meringue Tie" has become a live favorite and has frequently been the band’s encore song of choice.
Their unique mix of musical styles showcased their individual skills as instrumentalists. Our first release this week, "Lemon Meringue Tie" from Dance Gavin Dance, comes from the group’s debut album Downtown Battle Mountain. Rising from the ashes of several bands, Dance Gavin Dance released their debut album in 2007 to critical acclaim. It’s hard and heavy this week as signature songs from Dance Gavin Dance, Pierce the Veil, and The Word Alive come to Rock Band 4!
