Light Yourself on Fire combine hardcore and death metal on Intimacy, their second release. Ex-Reversal of Man vocalist Matt Coplon gives us notes on his lyrics, which draw from writers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Kierkegaard. It's always a bonus to get insight into the thoughts behind an album. The six song long release lasts only seventeen minutes, but its length doesn't feel too short. Since their self-titled EP, Light Yourself on Fire hasn't changed their sound much at all. If you think you'd enjoy "hardcore kids growing up in the death metal capital [Tampa, Florida] and being influenced by early 90's noise," check out Intimacy.
