Black Light Burns "Lie" (official video) from CRUEL MELODY

The first single and video from "Cruel Melody" the first album from Limp Bizkit's Wes Borland new band.

[@Underdogrecording]

This is fucking brutal. How wasn't this more well known?

[@zenvultra]

I have no idea because Cruel Melody is a masterpiece. My best guess is that the subsequent albums departed too much from what they established with CM, although they were still good in their own right. That along with the fact that there hasn’t been any new material from BLB since Lotus Island.

[@JeffAri498]

@@zenvultra I think might have also had something to do with the fact that Wes was definitely more well known for Limp Bizkit

[@thenothing2786]

Wes sounds like the hatechild of Fred Durst and Trent Reznor.

[@franklinriley7074]

You have a weird definition of brutal.

[@TastySnackies]

This type of music was on its way out of radio stations, at the time. It got some play time, but it was riding the edge of some 00's ideas that had been overplayed. It's aged well today, as a 00's metal song.

[@DougW2012pro]

Wes Borland is one helluva vocalist for being known as guitarist!!! We all love you Wes!!!

[@TheShadowX8X]

SHIIIT! a decade to find this song FINALLY!

[@killuminatianonymous5551]

I didn’t even realize this was Wes singing for a second. This is awesome.

[@ShellshockedRadio]

What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-ce5iKhsmAgck Very well done!

[@joeseymour4073]

1:08 The moment when you think “here it comes” knowing something heavy is about to happen but you had no idea how hard they go.

[@bisclimpkit]

its my favourite part in the song. it’s so expected but then your like woah there’s no way that just happened

[@1996svt]

Wes was easily the best part of Limp Bizkit. The guy is definitely talented

[@wwmediaio]

He holds more talent in one finger than Durst possessed at all.

[@marcmccourt843]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fred was the voice of the band and also has one of the best voices in metal.

[@bettaplayitkool3817]

In my opinion John and Sam are equaly good. Bizkit has great musicians.

[@vgm9897]

I didn't know Wes sings, he's got a great voice

[@siamesewarrior7248]

He did backing vocals in Limp Bizkit

[@qderrelldeal9146]

I wrote a model composition for Wes with Groove Pad using Techno Serum sound kit

[@SuperCrazyPsycho731]

He has another band called big dumb face

[@joehunter3jh]

Yeah he is really talented

[@davidnissim589]

He did a lot of the backing unclean vocals in Limp Bizkit

[@jhamilton1007]

This sounds like if NIN and Stabbing Westward had a baby.

[@TtTt-qx3hz]

Jason Hamilton more like a miscarriage

[@occulta_apparentia]

I absolutely love BOTH of those bands I hope they are still doing things I would love to hear some more stuff from them

Good song by a underrated band

[@jonathanpoole3767]

Aron lewis loves wes borland . Not . This is a good band of borlands . 1st album is the best .

[@bilal59446]

That guitar is the sound of early and mid 2000s that's been missing for so long. Those were the days.

[@taylorbivens8546]

The bridge and outro riff is completely fantastic. One of my all time favorites. Wes is such a unique riff writer.

[@geekverve]

I just wish he were playing them. Man I've loved watching him play.

[@beak_on_bong]

Cruel melody is one of the best albums of all time. Like just straight up.

[@ottoback5375]

so true, i am still to this day mourning that this band stopped

[@beak_on_bong]

@@ottoback5375 Tis a shame

[@Timliu92]

Wes Borland is way more than just Limp Bizkit. This man is very creative with his rhythms and usage of unique sound textures on the guitar.

[@SlimJayDizzle]

feels like 90's manson, NIN and few others! I love it!!

[@metaphor239]

Sounds like a song that belonged in Queen of The Damned

[@jeremyschiesser7086]

Jay Bojorquez much of this stuff was on the Underworld soundtrack. So yes basically.

[@coreyfellows9420]

Dude you nailed that one.. It totally does have that same vibe.

[@vedoremelianenko6049]

Another under rated band from awesome guitarist..

[@rzander_]

Wes should make a song with Reznor, that would be amazing

[@aaroncody6231]

He (wes borland) turned down guitar spot with nine inch nails to rejoin limp. Also turned down touring guitar for a perfect cirlce

[@courgeonaute]

+Aaron Cody what a fool

[@Mlotshaw1]

And a short stint with Combichrist

[@jefhow5912]

I completely agree, it's also crossed my mind. Wes's voice over Trent's genius!? ( not taking anything from Wes, Cruel Melody was a catalyst for me and still continues to be.

[@captainhowdy8897]

If he did it would sound exactly the same.cause I'm petty sure that is Trent reznor.

[@user-qs6rz5bs8q]

This song and the whole Cruel Melody album are a blast!

[@angrybrowndude]

Fuck yeah ... love the sound, it has that 90's style metal that makes me want to rock out

MY GOD. HOW COME I NEVER SEEN THIS!!!. ❤❤

[@j.j..jurado1429]

Wes Borland is, by far, THE BEST LIMP BIZKIT GUY, and he proves it by making this kick-ass music, with this awesome band

[@rightwhay]

I like what Wes is doing here, and I know people may not agree with me, but he is a good guitar player. So he could be playing the guitar too and create more power .

[@gringochucha]

[@shatteredsquare]

i wish all the modern metal bands recorded with this production technique, it would actually sound killer. modern music is so processed and messed with it all sounds like little clicks and white noise, this music actually sounds like a band, like a pissed off harley taking off from a red light, not like R2-D2 working a cash register

[@thejadedgeisha]

Oh My Gods, I love how you stated this! Thank you!

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

Can we highlight the fact that this is even industrial rock/metal, which is supposed to have electronic elements? There's a way to make music sound sound human, even industrial metal. The human touch is one of the largest factors in making most music sound good. When you start auto tuning and quantizing, that human touch is gone, and its "perfection" sounds boring. Take Killing Joke for example. They're credited with inventing most industrial rock and metal, and their music at the same time is so tribal and raw.

[@ronniestyles1347]

Man I have to fight in my band to keep the soul in it. My guitarist is hellbent on making everything sound "perfect", where I feel like it should sound like us playing music.

[@MusicTrespass-TV]

This is Incredible!!!

[@thenothing2786]

I’m as a songwriter, both composer and lyricist I have a super high standard for what I consider great lyrics. Even though heavy music is my favorite style, most of its lyrics kinda suck. They basically just straight forward communication that rhymes. “by the time I get home you are already stoned you turn off the tv and. You scream at me. I can’t wait for the day when I leave this place”. Lie definitely stands above most in its genre. It early expresses a relatable feeling and situation but it’s done in such an intentionally brilliant way that you are only meant to relate to it if you are intelligent enough to understand. Genius.
