Taking Dawn has just released a new video, titled, “Time To Burn” and they rock it hardcore. Okay, well maybe not hardcore, but they’re bringing back hard rock. With their Saliva-esque guitars and the sound of what James Hetfield’s vocals would’ve been like, if he hadn’t gone douche.

They’ve even taken time to poke fun at Kanye West’s VMA’s outburst, albeit a few months behind the curve.

Overall, their music doesn’t suck. Video and tour dates after the jump!
