Prior to the release of the highly anticipated recording, the band is offering the lead single and upcoming music video, "Born This Way," as an Instant Grat Track download beginning today through an exclusive album pre-order campaign at iTunes.

Born This Way" hit the Christian Top 30 at Rock even before the song's official add date, and moves to No. 18 as the No. 1 most added single on the chart this week.
Thousand Foot Krutch are back, and strike strong with their brand new single," says Evigshed Magazine. "'Born This Way' is a stellar combination bluesy rock groove with a heavy metal flavor…It is a perfect anthem, incredibly inspiring, delivering a strong message for people who are tired of being someone they're not…These guys know how to rock."

Born This Way" and other new hits from OXYGEN:INHALE along with fan favorites while on the road. Hitting Creation Northwest, Unity
