Tremonti: Dust Review - 10 Phenomenal Tracks Reviewed & Ranked

7. Catching Fire

In my notes for this song, I simply wrote down "BREAKDOWN RIFF", which should tell you all you need to know about which part took my face off.

That's not the only thing, Catching Fire marks one of two tracks that features a defining vocal intro alongside an increasingly heavy progression. With Tremonti in full-on vocal showcase mode, it's a more fun-sounding track, with repeated shouts of "You just let it go!", the whole band kicks in underneath, contributing to a lung-emptying chorus. I'll gush about Mark's vocals in Dust and The Cage, but Catching Fire puts his sheer power to a faster-paced use.

That riff breakdown though, holy Myles is that good. Beginning as a muted, descending piece that sets the tone, the actual passage itself bursts out the speakers like the mouth of Hell itself letting loose an epic roar.

Mark, Eric and Wolfgang go hell for leather on their guitars as Garrett backs it all up by smashing the living daylights out the kit. Like being baptised in the fires of heavy metal, it's quite the religious experience.
