“We decided to release this song to show fans how much a song can change during the writing process,” vocalist Jesse Hasek says. “‘Baptized in Fire’ turned into what is now known as
‘Tightrope.’”Check the song out below, along with the video for the album’s lead single, “Backlash,” and let us know what you think in the comments.
