Losing All

Losing All

Day of Fire’s third album returns the Nashville-based group to the music biz wars with a brace of grunge-steeped rockers and rough-cut ballads. On this well-realized effort, the foursome sticks to its proven formula of chunky rhythms, lacerating riffage and menacing (yet redemptive) lyrics. Singer Josh Brown continues to demonstrate greater restraint than many of his throat-shredding peers, striking an insinuating stance on tracks like “Lately” and “Light ‘Em Up.” He’s well-matched by guitarist Joe Pangallo, who gets nasty when it counts (especially on “Hey You” and “Landslide”) but also knows when to use finesse along with raw force. With songwriting contributions from Chris Daughtry, Losing All tilts slightly towards the pop marketplace, getting positively catchy on “Hello Heartache,” “When I See You” and “Airplane.” Brown alludes to his survival of a near-fatal overdose in “Cold Addiction” and casts himself in a personal passion play in “The Dark Hills.” Throughout, Day of Fire never loses sight of its fervent commitment to God, even when churning its way through troughs of smoldering hard rock.
