The Embattled Hearts is Canadian band Veal's third album. The album was released in 2003. It was the reintroduction of lead singer Luke Doucet into the band since his comparatively more successful solo career. The album also marked the first with their new bassist, Nik Kozub, who had more of a punk-rock background.[1]
The recording was made in February 2002, but label negotiations delayed the album release until June 2003.[1]
The Edmonton Journal described the album's sound as "rockier" compared to the band's "proggier" two previous albums.[2]
