Californian post hardcore band A Skylit Drive have released a new song from their upcoming LP, entitled ASD.

This is the second release following recent line-up changes, the departure of Brian White and Cory La Quay and the addition of Michael Labelle (ex-Of Reverie) on guitars and Brandon Richter (ex-Motionless In White) on drums.

Their new album is set to be released on October 9, 2015.

Cleans like that are just unbelievably awful and so gay (I hate saying that but this is so shit). Probably the worst thing I've heard all year so far

There was a nice riff going on there for one moment but I can hardly hear it with this peter pan ball pinching motherfucker going to town

Chorus: The Song

in all seriousness, they don't need the clean vocalist at all. they'd be much more interesting if they just kept the screamer

This band used to be my favourite when I was 14 - stuff like this makes me sad.

Some of the worst cleans I've heard in this genre.

Guy makes the clean vocalist from In Hearts Wake sound like Freddie Mercury.

'Cleans like that are just unbelievably awful and so gay (I hate saying that but this is so shit)'

While I agree that the cleans are poor (terrible actually) and prevent any enjoyment I could have got from this song, you don't have to use that term if you 'hate saying it'.
This isn't YouTube, you're not 14 (I assume), please be critical rather than scathing for the sake of it.

This is just so.. uninspired.. its so generic.. first Bullet and now A Skylit Drive.. I don't mind a bit of Skylit but this is just dull. And that intro riff.. oh god that was pathetic.. the rest of the 'lead' is okay but the intro is so boring and lacking any umph at all

The cleans are nice. I can't believe how many people still ride the dick of screams / roars on this site.

I don't think it's merely that there are cleans that grates on people, it's just they sound too weedy comparatively.
May just be me.

Well at least they made that transition from painfully mediocre to undeniably awful that they've always been promising.

Clean vocalist's haircut is worse than his vocals.

And why does every metalcore song coming out this year have the word "war" in its title lol

They've put out some fun, catchy songs, but this band has been on a steady downward spiral for about seven years.

Wires... and the Concept of Breathing still rules and "Rise" is a great song.

"The cleans are nice. I can't believe how many people still ride the dick of screams / roars on this site."

I don't see a problem with enjoying harsh vocals, or disliking really poorly done clean vocals.

He's a great vocalist surely always the shining spot of this band but the mixing and production is awful they completely smothered his voice in this song I don't get why? I really don't like it much.

Song is alright. I actually can't wait for this, hoping the drummer will bring some 'Creatures' vibes to this album.

Came for the comments, was not disappointed. Wouldn't expect anything less than trite, formulaic ___-core shite at this point.

Post-hardcore/metalcore at its worst. Even the vocals seem to be computer-generated.

This band could be pretty good if they'd capitalize upon their guitarist's competency and axe the clean vocals.

Doesn't surprise me that they lost two members considering that they're A) a really poor band and B) haven't done anything in a few years

Second that the singer looks like Tilda Swinton, the thumbnail is a ringer.

"I don't see a problem with enjoying harsh vocals, or disliking really poorly done clean vocals."

Yeah, that sounds nice when you put it that way, but what it translates to is "I love screams. I have a very, very limited framework for what good cleans are, and I'm going to tell everyone all about it every time I hate a clean singer. And it's going to be really, really often."

You're certainly assuming a lot with this comment.

Durrzo, I should clarify, in my experience, that's what it USUALLY means.

I think it's a bit much to say there's a limited framework of what makes good cleans - but the trend of Tom DeLonge and Claudio Sanchez making helium babies who sing about war and being threatening is getting a bit old.
As well as ridiculous.

What in particular makes high pitched voices is ridiculous? And if you're tired of it, that's your issue, it's not a commentary on the inherent worth of the pitch of a voice.
