The song was the first to be written for the The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here album. It was penned by singer-guitarist Jerry Cantrell in 2011 before he went into hospital for a procedure to repair a damaged shoulder cartilage. He told Grammy.com:
Music video
The lyric video for "Voices" was released on the Internet on July 25, with the official video following on September 5. Both videos were directed by Robert Schober, also known as Roboshobo.
Of the music video, on-line music magazine Loudwire commented:
Audio mixing is the process by which multiple sounds are combined into one or more channels. In the process, the source signals' level, frequency content, dynamics, and panoramic position are manipulated and effects such as reverb may be added. This practical, aesthetic, or otherwise creative treatment is done in order to produce a mix that is more appealing to listeners.
Before the introduction of multitrack recording, all the sounds and effects that were to be part of a recording were mixed together at one time during a live performance. If the mix wasn't satisfactory, or if one musician made a mistake, the selection had to be performed over until the desired balance and performance was obtained. However, with the introduction of multitrack recording, the production phase of a modern recording has radically changed into one that generally involves three stages: recording, overdubbing, and mixdown.
MIX, often branded on-air as Today's Mix, was a channel on XM Satellite Radio playing the Hot Adult Contemporary format. It was located on XM 12 (previously 22) and plays a mix of hit songs from 1980-present day, except for urban music. MIX was one of 5 channels on XM's platform that plays commercial advertisements, which amount to about 3–4 minutes an hour, and are sold by Premiere Radio Networks. The channel was programmed by Clear Channel Communications, and was Clear Channel's most listened to channel on XM Radio, in both cume and AQH, according to the Fall 2007 Arbitron book.
KMXV ("Mix 93.3") is a Top 40 (CHR) station based in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. The Steel City Media outlet operates at 93.3MHz with an ERP of 100kW. Its current slogan is "Kansas City's #1 Hit Music Station". It is also one of two Top 40's competing in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, the other being KCHZ. The station's studios are located at Westport Center in Midtown Kansas City, and the transmitter site is in the city's East Side.
The station was sold off by CBS Radio to Wilks Broadcasting in November 2006 as part of a nationwide reduction of radio stations by CBS. On June 12, 2014, Wilks announced that it is selling its Kansas City cluster (of which KMXV is part of) to Pittsburgh-based Steel City Media. The sale was approved on September 26, 2014, and was consummated on September 30.
History
The station began in 1958 as KCMK-FM (Kansas City, Missouri/Kansas), a classical station, but had several format changes (primarily country) over the next sixteen years. County DJ Jack Wesley "Cactus Jack" Call was at the station (from KCKN) for one week when he was killed on January 25, 1963 in a car crash. Singer Patsy Cline sang at a benefit for him at Memorial Hall (Kansas City, Kansas) on March 3, 1963. She was unable to leave Kansas City the next day because the airport was fogged in and was killed in a plane crash on March 5, 1963 en route from Fairfax Airport to Nashville.

DEAD RECKONING (FEAT. FIT FOR A KING) LYRICS
I GAVE UP EVERYTHING
WITH BOTH MY FEET IN THE GRAVE
SOMEHOW I FOUND MY STRENGTH
BEFORE MY SOUL HAD DECAYED
REDEMPTION CALLED MY NAME
BUT IT WAS SCREAMING IN VAIN
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD HAS STAINED
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
MY SHAME WAS CRUSHING ME
POISONED REALITY
BURIED UNDER THE WEIGHT WITH A COUPLE GRENADES
BUT NOW THERE’S BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RISING FROM THE FALL
BREAKING DOWN EVERY WALL
NOW THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
BETTER RING THE ALARM
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
STARING DESTINY IN THE FACE
MAKING SURE IT REMEMBERS MY NAME
YOU WILL NOT DESTROY ME
DEAD RECKONING
THROUGH THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT, THE SACRIFICE
I'LL BREAK THROUGH THE WALL NO MATTER THE PRICE
THROUGH THE PAIN, THE HURT, THE HEARTACHE
TEARING DOWN THE SKY MY SOUL TO RETAKE
