BRANDAN SCHIEPPATI NEEDS SOME AUTO TUNE, PRONTO

Saw this video, for Bleeding Through’s “Line in the Sand,” for the first time over the weekend. I’m all for big schmaltzy power ballads with treacly lyrics and overwrought guitar solos, but dude, you need singing lessons, or, barring that, to start working with the same producer that does Atreyu. Either that, or stick to screaming. And P.S.: could the strings owe any more to Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet’s score to Requiem for a Dream?
