 THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
SEVENDUST...Black Out The Sun  (2013)
Black Out The Sun is currently at number 18 on the U.S. Billboard album charts.  I personally can't recommend this album as the hard-core heavy metal is not really not my cup of tea.  The album starts off with a magnificently beautiful piece called 'Memory', but it serves as an introductory track for the album and only last about a minute and a half.  Another highlight was 'Got A Feeling,' a nice "power ballad" I guess you could call it.  It would be better for someone who's into bands like Sevendust to do this review.  Any takers?
