Editor's note

Wes Borland's personal industrial rock project

The Limp Bizkit guitarist's darker, more atmospheric side project.

For a good sense of what this project does, try 'Stop A Bullet' from that first album. Their 'Hungry Like The Wolf' cover is also worth hearing, it's not what you'd expect from a Saw movie.

Black Light Burns gives Wes Borland space for music that's more personal and less polished than his work with Limp Bizkit. Songs like 'Stop A Bullet' from the debut album 'Cruel Melody' show the project's industrial rock leanings with electronic textures. Their cover of Duran Duran's 'Hungry Like The Wolf' even landed in the Saw III soundtrack, which tells you something about the mood.

The project started with 2007's 'Cruel Melody,' featuring collaborations with musicians like Josh Freese and John 5. Later albums like 'Cover Your Heart' and 'The Moment You Realize You're Gonna Die' continued exploring darker themes, with tracks like 'Blood Red Head On Fire' blending heavy guitar work with atmospheric production.
