I'm honestly shocked that this is going for adds at Alternative after hearing this last night.

True. I'm just not as suprised as American Idiot that this is being sent for adds at Alt.

I'm pretty sure it's their first song to go for adds at all.

I'm not really surprised that All That Remains has charted on Alternative before. This song however is really straight up metal that sounds harder than anything I've ever heard on an Alternative station before. It just doesn't seem to fit in with everything else sent for adds there.

The section in the clip you posted is epic and awesome! I don't usually like these guys, but that was really good, enough so that I am currently checking out the rest of the song.
The chorus is perfect for active rock radio, but they'd need to pull a KSE-"End Of Heartache" and release a version to radio that adds melodic vocals to the verses. If it weren't for the first minute of the song, this would have a good shot at doing well on rock radio.
And while the comparisons to All That Remains are certainly appropriate, one must remember that before "Two Weeks", ATR was too heavy to do well at rock radio just like As I Lay Dying. So if these guys can adjust that first verse for radio, this song could do quite well.

Needing just one more listen to The Powerless Rise to put my song rankings in the books, I really hope "Anodyne Sea" is the next single. It's easily my favorite on the album.
Saw them last weekend and could hardly contain my excitement when they played "Anodyne Sea." Strangely, though they played 4 songs off the new album, "Powerless" wasn't one of them. ???

I had just typed the album title and both words are three syllables, start with P, end in S, have an R toward the middle, and an L closer to the end. :)
