“Mortal Remains” The title refers to how a person can feel dead inside, the story of the song is that of someone battling with themselves as they feel their life is going nowhere. The vocal melodies highlight a person’s inner panic and the sense of having nobody or anywhere to turn to.
“Cold Act” This song could have been written in the heyday of pure 80’s glam. The song is a story of a hooker realising selling yourself is never the answer, no matter how hard times are. It highlights the initial reasoning for getting into the trade and the struggle of leaving it behind to get your life back on track.
“Rising Star” a touching power ballad that takes the perspective of a musician, who had made it in the industry and is a very wealthy man, looking back on his life realising he focused so hard on his music he forgot to live his life. Now he knows it’s too late but is determined to make the most of every moment he has left.
“Roulette” a fast paced, no room for mercy track. The title says it all for this song, the lyrics are a narrative of playing Russian roulette between yourself and another person and the internal thought battle that causes. Do you take your own life or someone else’s?
“Chains Of Hate” is a heavy but melodic song that is all about the aftermath of a heartbreak and the scars that can leave on a person. The idea of not being able to love anybody else and the struggle to see a way past loving one person
“Great Day for Dying” is a live and dangerous track that gives the band a platform to go as crazy as we like. The lyrics reflect on the tragic deaths of rock stars in plane crashes. The song blends sad story lines with themes of a rebellious rock spirit. Embodying the words live fast die young.
“Death Warmed Up” is a gritty, hard-hitting rock anthem about resilience and defiance. It tells the story of overcoming insurmountable odds, emerging scarred but stronger. Even if you return looking battered and broken, the song emphasises that survival is a triumph and music can help you rise again.”
