Releasing singles from a concept album is often times challenging because the isolated songs lose their context. The aptly named band “bridges” the gap between modern-day hard rock and classic 80’s heavy metal in a way that few, if any, in the genre can match. The dual guitars of Mark Tremonti and Kennedy featured on Fortress are as good as it gets in hard rock today. Fortress is not only the band’s heaviest album to date it is one of the heaviest hard rock albums to be released this year. Alter Bridge has taken the opposite approach. Many bands start out heavy and then mellow over the course of time. In a day and age where heavy guitars often go hand-in-hand with guttural growls, Kennedy’s vocals take you on a journey back in time to the heyday of 80’s heavy metal, while still remaining current. The infectiously melodic guitar and driving rhythm perfectly set the tone for Myles Kennedy’s brilliant vocals. The first single off of Alter Bridge’s long-awaited album, Fortress, gets your blood pumping from the first riff and never lets up.

Click on the hyperlinked songs below the playlist to read the full Hard Rock Daddy Reviews that were featured on the site during the year. The Top 52 Songs of 2013 featured on the playlist below can also be found on the Hard Rock Daddy Network (HRD’s YouTube channel). Many of the songs on the list were heard throughout the year on SiriusXM’s Octane, however, the list also features a handful of tracks from hard rock artists that don’t fit Octane’s format, or are still flying somewhat under the radar. However, two bands, Five Finger Death Punch and Stone Sour, each released incredible double albums, which is why they both have two songs featured on the list. To give the Hard Rock Daddy audience the greatest possible variety of music, the decision was made to feature only one song per album. Many of the top hard rock bands in the world released new music during the year, which made it incredibly difficult to narrow down the Top 52 Hard Rock Songs of 2013. It can be argued that this time period is as good as any that the genre has ever experienced. The hard rock music genre continued to reach new heights in 2013.
