12 Great Heavy Metal Deep Cuts

8. Killswitch Engage - This Fire Burns

Sometimes a track is forgotten about through no fault of it's own. Often bands release singles that never make it onto an album, meaning only the most dedicated fans will hear it. This was the case with Killswitch Engage when they released 'This Fire Burns'.

Originally for the WWE Wreckless Intent album, the track served as wrestler CM Punk's intro music for a while. The song follows the regular formula that was used by the band at the time, with a soaring chorus and technical riffing throughout the verses.

However, the song feels more refined than some of their other efforts.

'This Fire Burns' eventually made it to the re-release of 'As Daylight Dies', but the band opted to use the now infamous cover of Dio's 'Holy Diver' as the promotional single for the deluxe edition. This meant that one of the bands best performances was once again overshadowed.
