Exclusive Track Premiere: Hacride’s “Overcome”

In 2009,MetalSucks’ own co-chief Vince Neilstein praised France’s Hacride for being “punishing, grooving, articulate, deliberate and beautiful” and like “Meshuggah strung out on heroin” — and if “Overcome” is any indication, the band continues that grand tradition on their new album, Back to Where You’ve Never Been. This is mammoth-sized prog metal the way it’s supposed to be played, where technicality never trumps top-notch songwriting. If you can’t get into it, there is something way wrong with your ears, brah.

But don’t just take our word for it — stream “Overcome” below! We’re positive you’re gonna love it.

Back to Where You’ve Never Been comes out April 22 on Indie Recordings.
