Like Light to the Flies

"Like Light to the Flies" (or "Like Light", as it is often referred to) is a song by American heavy metal band Trivium and is the first single and music video from their 2005 album, Ascendancy.[1] The band originally considered using the song "Ember to Inferno" as their first single but changed their minds after recording this song (along with "Blinding Tears Will Break the Skies" and "The Deceived"). "Like Light" was released in January 2005 and features a mix of screaming and singing. The song contains two guitar solos which are played nearly consecutively to sound as one longer solo; a small interlude is played in the middle of them. The music video features original member Brent Young, and the version of the song used in the video is not the album version but rather the demo version, found previously on the MTV compilation album MTV2 Headbanger's Ball: Volume 2. The song can be heard in the 2007 film Smokin' Aces. also heard in the video game The Sims 2, in Simlish, and was featured in the 2005 video game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown.
