Protest The Hero have uploaded a new song from Volition called “Drumhead Trial for you all peeps to hear. Listen to it below
Although it was not our initial intention to release this song next… we have put up an official copy of “Drumhead Trial” for you guys to hear. We heard a bunch of terrible versions of this on youtube after it aired on radio in the US. If you had the misfortune of hearing one of these monstrosities - our sincerest.
Hopefully you can at least rip your heartless comments on a version that sounds a little better. I hope you are all happy - the people have won this round ha! This song features our friend Kayla Howran ripping some vocals toward the end! It also features Ron Jarzombek destroying Luke in a trade-off guitar solo!
Enjoy.
