I’m not the biggest fan of the Resident Evil films. The first one was fun, the second was better, and then they started to get bad. Like, really really bad. The storyline got lost, the creatures made no sense, and the action dull and frightfully boring.

But something that potentially gave a little bit of enjoyment was the music, especially when it got nice and heavy, pumping shot after shot of adrenaline into a scene. It was moments like those that made me enjoy the popcorn munching flicks that these movies were intended to be.

With that in mind, and with the awesomeness that is Resident Evil Week going on here, I wanted to focus on the licensed music of the first three films. I wanted to dive in and think about which soundtrack I’d put on my mp3 player to go on a zombie slaying frenzy, all while avoiding the T-Virus, B.O.W.s, and whatever Tyrant or Nemesis gets thrown at me!

So, let’s get to ranking the licensed soundtracks of the first three films!

Hard rock band Flyleaf has released an official video for “Call Me Out”, which comes off their latest album New Horizons (review). The video is entirely animated in black and white with tons of shading that brings to mind the video game Limbo. The story revolves around a bear that captures a town of bunnies while destroying the buildings. While he is dragging them off, a murder of birds (I dont know if they’re crows but the ‘murder’ part definitely applies), a fox, and I think some deer stalk the bear, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and release their hippity-hoppity pals. Check out the video below.

When news broke that Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm was leaving the band mere weeks before the release of their latest album New Horizons, it was a complete shock to fans and even casual listeners. After all, how could we, the listeners, go into this without feeling sadness, even a sense of betrayal?

But what other choice is there? I can sit back and complain, saying that I’ll never listen to the album. But what’s the point? Why would I deprive myself the opportunity to hear Lacey’s final (for the foreseeable future) offering? And so I hit ‘Play’ to see if her exit was one with grace or if it left a sour taste in my mouth.

The album opens with “Fire Fire”, which begins far more innocently than it probably should. An arpeggiated 7/4 guitar riff that sounds almost like a piano opens the track, followed by Lacey singing gently and soft drums tapping out rhythms. Suddenly, everything stops for two beats and the song bursts into life. The song ends with Lacey and a throng of people chanting, “Fire! Fire fire! Fire from the tongues of liars!” It’s a perfect beginning to the album, mixing heavy with soft, confident with pleading, subtle with forceful.

The production of this album is near spot on. There are slight imperfections here and there but that only serves to give this album a very human, organic feel.

Some of my personal favorite tracks on the album would be “Green Heart”, which is the most “metal” offering this album gives. Then there is “Call You Out”, which is meant for stadiums, thousands of people chanting the chorus while jumping up and down. “Bury Your Heart” is perhaps the most emotional song, mixing a desperate chorus that has roaring guitars underneath with hypnotic, tribal-esque verses.

The Final Word: New Horizons is a bittersweet experience. It’s a fantastic album that marks the end of Flyleaf’s history with singer Lacey Sturm. This is something that she can look back upon with confidence, knowing that she gave it her all and then some.
While it is difficult trying to see a future without her as part of the band, there is, as the feel of the album suggests, always hope. It’ll be interesting to see what the band does next.

Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm has announced that she will be departing the band, effective immediately. The band has also announced that ex-Vedera vocalist Kristen May has stepped in for all future tour dates supporting the upcoming album New Horizons, which comes out next week on Oct. 30th.

“When listening to New Horizons, I would hope that fans would be able to lose themselves in the story of each of these songs and form their own connections to them—as we have in the band,” remarked bass player Pat Seals. “There is a great deal of our souls laid bare on this record, and I feel like it really comes through on the tracks.”

Read on for more statements. Also, make sure to check out our interview with Pat here.

Seals also commented on Lacey’s departure, “As Flyleaf begins this new cycle to introduce our third record New Horizons, we feel our fans should know that Lacey has stepped down as lead vocalist of the band. Her statement below expresses her reasons for leaving. In order to continue on with New Horizons, Sameer, Jared, James, and myself have selected Kristen May, formerly of Vedera, to assume lead vocal duties for future tour dates. We are excited for this new chapter in the history of Flyleaf, and hope that our fans will accompany us as we continue on this journey to bring hope and inspiration through our music. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years and we are looking forward to playing for you again soon.”

Lacey commented on her departure, “I have been beyond blessed to be in Flyleaf for the past ten years, touring with 4 amazing men and the Flyleaf crew, whom I love like my flesh and blood family. They have all given so much. It took everyone on our team to make the beauty in Flyleaf possible. I am honored to have met so many wonderful people who love Flyleaf music all over the world. Your incredible stories continue to inspire me. I am very thankful to have recently become a mom to one of the greatest blessings of my life, my son Jack. You may have also heard that we recently lost our brilliant sound engineer, Rich Caldwell, in a devastating car accident. Now, more than ever, I understand the phrase Memento Mori. I understand that, for me, living life to the fullest in this season means to step down as the lead singer for Flyleaf. I wish the best to Jared, Pat, Sameer and James and I know that as I continue to pursue the highest heights of what I am created for, it will free them all to pursue that for themselves too.

The guys will continue to tour and write music together. I’m so very grateful that they are able to do what they desire and that there is a beautiful and talented, warm hearted girl like Kristen May to sing for them. Because of this, you will all get a chance to see a new Flyleaf show and support the new album.

As I take this first step on a new journey, I pray that each one of you would pursue your highest calling with reckless abandon as well, understanding that sometimes the fullness of life comes in doing things that are only understood by you, God, and the special people God has put in your life that truly love you for you… not for what you do, but for who you are. I love you guys so much and in many ways, I will stay in touch. May God bless you all with healthy hearts, full of courage to weather the journey to your own New Horizons.”

Although there isn’t a set release date, New Horizons, the third studio album from hard rock band Flyleaf, is slated to be out soon (sooner than you’d think). In anticipation of this impending release, we caught up with bassist Pat Seals to discuss the new album and what fans can expect as well as the changes the band has made since their last album, Memento Mori. Read below for this exclusive interview!

You can snag the single on iTunes.

Bloody-Disgusting: How’s it going?
Pat Seals: Good, Jonathan, how are you?

BD: Doing well, thanks! What’s new and exciting these days?
PS: New Horizons is on our plate. I guess that’s the most exciting thing going on these days. There’s a good mixture of emotions going on in the camp but we’re definitely very anxious to see how our fans will receive the songs because we’re real proud of these. I think this is our favorite record so far.

BD: I wanted to ask you about a quote you released regarding the song “New Horizons” where you said it was one of your most “joyful songs”. Was this positive attitude something that was planned or did it just come out naturally?
PS: It all just kind of happened. The song opens up with this awesome guitar riff that our guitar player Jared [Hartmann] wrote. And it was reminiscent of old Third Eye Blind songs that we’d listened to high school and I think that sort of happy vibe in the music informed [vocalist] Lacey [Sturm]’s voice when writing.
The end result is definitely one of the happiest Flyleaf songs. I kind of feel like a lot of our catalog is just gloomy songs but this is kind of a breath of fresh air, I guess.

BD: Tell me a bit about the album and what it means for you personally.
PS: It’s just sort of a new time, an embracing of the future in a way maybe we haven’t approached before, if that makes sense. Opening oneself up to what you don’t know and saying, “Thank you” in advance and hoping for the best instead of cowering, which, in the zeitgeist of now, everyone is freaking out about the end of the world, I think in this way it is just something we need, something we can open ourselves up to and something that can be awesome.

BD: It’s interesting that you say it like this because, it seems, in our society that people are far more nervous to say something positive right away instead of something negative. You said that the previous catalog was more gloomy and that New Horizons was more positive and yet you seem more nervous about that approach.
PS: Mmhmm! I think so. Maybe the increased nervousness is because there’s a wider spectrum of things to look for where when you look for the negative in everything and worry, which is kind of our kneejerk reaction of our culture. The added nervousness might be that hope for success and hope for fruition of what you’ve been working for.

BD: New Horizons is scheduled to come out almost 3 years exactly after Memento Mori. What’s changed in those three years for the band?
PS: It’s kind of a cliché thing for any band, especially out band, to say, “We’ve done a lot of growing in the past blah blah blah”. But I think that these three years we’ve had time to examine ourselves and examine this music and have a real long time with it. I think, those things combined pushed it forward.
I can’t speak for everyone personally but we’ve had a great deal of time to examine the music and you really hear more growth on this album, I would say. Musically and lyrically, there is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears as far as experience has gone into the making of this. I guess you’re hearing some grown ups whereas on Memento Mori and our debut you were hearing a teenager band, even though we were in our 20’s.
I kind of feel like this is a very adult record, not in terms of explicit content but rather the viewpoint. We’re looking at life in terms of birth to death instead of just inhabiting the second, which often makes the songs we hear.

BD: Talking about the three years difference, it’s amazing how those three years have made an impact when it comes to social media and the music industry. How do you feel that has affected Flyleaf?
PS: I don’t know if there’s a term for this but if there was, it’d be like stepping out of a time machine and having culture shock, we’d be having that. Twitter and those types of things were really coming up during the making of Memento Mori, that was the new thing then and now it’s even more so. People from around the world tweeting in and everything is ubiquitously online now, more so than ways in the past. You really specifically exist in people’s consciousness via that than before and keeping up with how people do it now because it’s been a real challenge and tackle going into this new record.

BD: What kind of touring plans are in the works to support New Horizons?
PS: Right now we’re looking at a couple of radio shows. We haven’t nailed down anything yet that we can announce but coming soon we’ll be able to update our fans on where we’ll be and when.

BD: Making a bit of a jump, Flyleaf contributed a song to the Nightmare Revisited Soundtrack. What connection do you or the band have with horror? Are you fans?
PS: I would say out of the band I’m the only one who likes any horror movies. Maybe Jared would like a couple. It’s not something that I would watch scary movies all day every day, but, yeah, I think, depending on the movie, I’ll definitely get into it. Like Shadows Of The Vampire might be one of my favorites.

BD: Pat, thanks so much for your time. Best of luck to you and the rest of the band!
PS: Thank you Jonathan. I really appreciate your time!

Flyleaf will be premiering their music video for “New Horizons”, the first single from their upcoming album of the same name, this Tuesday, the 4th, on Fuse. The album still has no release date but that will apparently be coming out soon. The teaser can be seen below.

Now, I know that the whole teaser trailer for a trailer is already a big thing with movies but do we really need this in music videos? It’s slowly becoming more and more popular and I really don’t see the point. It’s the same concept as with movie trailers. Why do I want to get a 30-second clip for something that lasts a total of 2:30 to 3:30? Seems kind of unnecessary.
