Overall, the song is a true metal tour de force with offbeat breakdown riffs, a typical catchy metalcore clean chorus and some insane riffs and screams. The almost 40 second instrumental is as sweet as anything that you will listen to from this four piece. The acoustic “bullfighter music” between the chorus and verse is one of the unique aspects of this song and adds something unique to the genre. The band’s latin influences come strong to the forefront on this song that once again hones in on relationships and love. The lyrics “this love was out of control, tell me where did it go?’” are my favourite from this song. The song structure lends itself to the ups and downs of a relationship and the musicianship here must be commended with distorted guitars and pounding drums giving it a unique edge. The addition of female vocals as a duet in this track adds to the interplay and theme of focusing two sides in a relationship. Fuentes really stars with his high pitch vocals taking centre stage as he truly sings his heart out on this number. The lyrics focus on love and the complications involved in relationships. This is a perfect sing along song with enough emotion to bring a grown man to tears. We begin this countdown with a slower melodic number which is one of the crowd favourites live.

Honourable Mentions: Texas Is Forever, Bulletproof Love Here is a look at some of the band’s best tracks. The band currently consists of Vic Fuentes – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, pianos, Mike Fuentes – drums, percussion, Tony Perry – lead guitar and Jaime Preciado – bass guitar, backing vocals. Vic Fuentes is also one of the most popular frontmen in the scene and his high pitched voice is one of the band’s unique factors. In essence Pierce the Veil bridge the gap between catchiness and raw aggression with superb guitar hooks, unbridled passion and a keen ear for melody. They may not fall into every metalhead’s taste as they might be too mainstream or rock orientated – still they have the ability to induce moshpits with some hard hitting tracks and clearly this steers them away from any mainstream stage. US rockers Pierce The Veil are one of the bands that evoke a lot of attention with their large fanbase and catchy tunes.
