BornBroken Premieres New Song ‘Anger of The Day’ on MetalUnderground.com; New Album ‘The Healing Powers of Hate’ Out June 4th

From L-R: Simon Savard – Guitar | Jesus Salazar – Vocals | Tommy Vaillancourt – Bass | Mike Decker – Guitar | Jonathan Ménard – Drums

Unleashing their debut album ‘The Healing Powers of Hate’ on Tuesday, June 4th, Canadian death thrashers BornBroken are premiering their latest track ‘Anger of The Day‘ on MetalUndeground.com at the following location here.

Through the sounds of beating skins, metal strings and broken chords,BornBroken plays out not only what life gives them but also what they want to give back: truth, integrity, perseverance, loyalty and faith in humanity’s struggle for equality.

After months of writing and hours spent in the studio, BornBroken managed to take every emotion they felt, put it to music, build off of past battle scars and create a record where listeners will feel they are part of the storyline.

On this debut, ‘The Healing Powers of Hate’, the band keeps with tradition and bring back a true dry metal sound, upfront loud guitars, drums in your face and a singer that can be distinguished from the rest to deliver an experience where the broken shall rise.
