Official music video for \"Drowing, Fading, Falling\" from Meshiaak's debut 'Alliance Of Thieves' which has been released by Mascot Records on August 19.
LYRICS:
I've walked an empty road
Many have walked before
Chosen to embrace all death
With a mouth that's full of war
All the things of the past
Become a constant test
The only way out of pain
Is to welcome it
I've walked a violent path
I wish I'd never known
Screaming pain surrounded me and
The king of misery left his throne
My vision becomes the
Very thing I need
The patriarch overcomes
My shattered enemies
Your final war
Self righteous and egotistical
Turn my back on you all
I just couldn't take it anymore
I see you drowning
Fading
Falling down
Turning point of our lives
Are held in contempt
Needle prick in your side when
You're reminded of it
Ignorance on display
The coming of the end
Tale a bow to the crowd
And all your plastic friends
Your final war
I just couldn't take it anymore
I have bled for you all
In this life
Good things die
All the things of the past
Become a constant test
The only way out of pain
Is to welcome it
Your final war
Self righteous and egotistical
Turn my back on you all
I just couldn't take it anymore
In a world where thrash has blended with metalcore, black metal, and NWOBHM, its hard justice a band of brothers has come together to champion songwriting, performance, and production this straightforward. Meshiaak bestows upon the scene an egregiously confident, old soul record that evokes the magic of Ride the Lightning, Rust in Peace, South of Heaven and Burn My Eyes.
Formed in Melbourne, Australia by 4ARMs Danny Camilleri and Teramazes Dean Wells, the band is rounded out by bassist Nick Walker and major rhythmic weapon Jon Dette (Iced Earth, Slayer, Testament).
Throughout the sonic and emotional peaks and valleys of this expertly paced and sequenced record, it becomes obvious that all four of these guys have spent a lifetime soaking in the best of metal music and woodshedding it outward onto tape. The listener comes away with rock-solid confidence in the band as stadium-level songwriters capable and worthy of anchoring... lets call it the next next four somewhere down the line generationally speaking past the original eight to ten thrash bands that wrote and then executed this well.
This style of music gets you pumped up, and so we just want people to feel what we felt during the time that we wrote it. Its exciting music and I think metalheads are really going to dig it. Its the perfect soundtrack for punch-ups with your mates.
