A Failed Masterpiece

bmcskim This person can play guitar well! They have clearly been a student of metal from different decades. To me this sounds like Make a Change…Kill Yourself covering Megadeth. Or Gorgoroth doing early Metallica. The riffs and melodies cut through the Lo-fi distorted wall of sound and just before one can get comfortable a kick of deliberate dissonance keeps you on the edge. The atonal Sonic Youth-esque guitar scratching/feedback is sprinkled sparingly and adds to the chaos. Bring on the full length Favorite track: A Failed Masterpiece.

about

Second track off the upcoming album.

lyrics

In my darkest hour
When all hope was lost
I turned to you for help
You fixed all my problems
And then you made my life hell

My magnum opus
My greatest artwork
A portrait of my deepest self
Exposed the hurt buried beneath

On the day that I first met you
I arrived with laughter and smiles
welcoming hands passed you around
you took me into a warm embrace
put my darkest worries to rest
Showered with words of praise
Infinite bliss and endless happiness
I was torn from my roots
Transformed into a man I do not know

The clouds were there in the beginning
Chased away by your brilliant rays
But how long could you keep them away?
For even the brightest of stars
The hottest of flames
Will one day burn itself out
Until nothing is left, but longing
longing for the sweet kiss of joy

The day that the storm came
Oh, who could have known?
Through your intoxicating scent
I was all but a cripple
Crippled by my desire
To possess and cherish you forever
The beauty in life you have shown me
The pleasures that were so addicting
Has now faded away into nothingness

Who is this now I see standing before me?
And what are these unfamiliar thoughts that plague my mind?
Is this me? or is this the real me?
A man torn in two
A failed masterpiece
