Unequivocally one of the year's most anticipated heavy-rock albums, The Blackest Beautiful has sparked a musical revolution among a new generation of rock fans with its penetrating sonic intensity, progressively dynamic songwriting and its socio-political charged lyrics. letlive.'s follow up to 2010's Fake History is immediate and impactful and further cements their place with hard rock's elite bands that paved the way before them like Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, The Mars Volta and The Blood Brothers among others.
"More than living up to their self-named genre-of-one, "soul punk" rabble-rousers letlive. rage like Rage Against the Machine and defy boundaries like Refused," says Brandon Geist, editor-in-chief of Revolver.
