After what feels like an eternity waiting for a glimpse into the new side project Hundred Suns – which features Norma Jean vocalist Cory Brandan, ex-Every Time I Die drummer Ryan “Legs” Leger and Dead and Divine guitarist Chris LeMasters – the hard rock trio has finally decided to premiere their first-ever single titled “Fractional.”
Sounding a bit more on the “radio rock” side of things (think Norma Jean meets Breaking Benjamin), “Fractional” was the first song the three members were able to put together even though they were spread across three different cities and two countries.
“‘Fractional’ is the very first song idea Chris sent to me,” says Brandan. “I remember getting it and immediately having ideas for it. I sang the chorus over it in my closet within the week. It’s still one of my favorite songs and it’s really cool to finally drop this sucker. Everything you hear is all pretty much self-recorded from our homes. We love how it sounds but can’t wait to get into a studio and really dig in. Turn it up!”

And since we know some of you are probably going to call us out for it, this is what is sounds like when you actually combine Norma Jean and Every Time I Die.
