It's that time again, where I pull a song out of one of my favourite albums ever to feature. Indestructible was the soundtrack to my second half of 2008, and it seriously never gets old. Thoughts of Disturbed can come and pass, and the band may never get back together, but as long as we have evidence that this masterpiece was created, we have nothing to worry about. There is a holy trinity of songs in this album, starting with "Criminal" and "The Night," and being eternally completed with the inclusion of "Haunted."
"Haunted" really is haunting, and its melodic nu metal feel really cements it as one of my most favourite songs ever recorded. It begins with a guitar-heavy-thunderstorming intro that's about a minute long, but it isn't long before Mr. Draiman arrives to steal the show. The lyrics are aggressive, but it's also artistic. The images you get from lines like you're angered, so am I, a thousand fires burn, a land of darkness from which I cannot return are striking, nearly as striking as this song as a whole. "Haunted" is somewhat sad tale of having trouble forgetting the past, but you won't be forgetting this one any time soon. Few songs can be called a forever fave of mine, but Houston, we've got a winner.
