New Single/Video Out Now! , TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT w/ Cold & Orgy HORIZON THEORY "NOWHERE TO GO"

Horizon Theory, the Michigan-based hard rock band, has released their latest single "NOWHERE TO GO" and it's a must-listen for anyone who enjoys meaningful lyrics and a heavy-hard rock music jam. The song, according to lead vocalist Josh Harrington, is about battling various struggles and the impact it has on the relationships with the ones you love.

The band's talent is evident as Horizon Theory continues to dole out notable variations and levels of hard rock with each single they release. "Nowhere To Go" leads with fresh expressive vocals, deep connecting bass, and dispatches solid riding drum beats throughout. A combination that tells a story and rocks solidly.

With Chris Black on guitars, Luen Murr on bass, Josh Harrington on vocals, and Jeff Hafer on drums you don't want to miss out on this significant and blazing single.

"NOWHERE TO GO" is now available for streaming on all

major platforms.

“To me this song is about battling alcoholism and/or suicide. Ruining relationships with the choices you've made and how it all affects the ones you love. Realizing that, but not knowing how to change so you fall in even further” - Josh Harrington, Vocals

Producer: Chris Black 

Recorded at Straight Jacket Studios

Horizon Theory Blast Off with "Astronomer"

MOUNT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN - HORIZON THEORY release their new single/video - "ASTRONOMER" Listen Here. Loneliness, Addiction, and Struggles come forth in the latest release from Horizon Theory, "Astronomer". Bringing a heartfelt portrayal of the loneliness that one can experience even in a crowded world. The song delves deep into the emotions that come with multiple life struggles we might experience from day to day.

The strength Horizon Theory brings through the voice of their music resonates with their audience - a sensational force comes in the dynamic work of their songwriting, and monster arena hard rock/metal delivery.

"Astronomer" is from the upcoming album Radio Silence

"Astronomer" is metaphorical, the loneliness you can feel even on earth with billions of other people and constantly looking for something more in life. Relationship issues, financial struggles, drug addiction, can lead to an extreme feeling of loneliness and depression. With this song we wanted to express these feelings that so many have." - Horizon Theory

The Stone Eye Announce Their New Single "Not My Circus"

The Stone Eye Release Their New Single "NOT MY CIRCUS". The Stone Eye is that spot on the sun that burns a memory into each layer of immersive sound. Not to be placed in a box, their stylistic music continues to be released with "NOT MY CIRCUS".

PURCHASE "NOT MY CIRCUS"

'"Not My Circus"  was conceived following a couple of unique events- firstly, seeing Ween live and experiencing them absolutely shred my (Steve) face-off at the Met Theater in December of 2021, and my buddy Mike Matteson telling me that "You should write more songs in four with an easily identifiable rhythm".

Experiencing Ween live, had inspired me to try and write a song that was a bit out there for us style-wise, yet have it still maintain that Stone Eye sound and feel. Mike's words definitely played a role in the songwriting process as well, as I tried not to veer too far off the deep end when it came to rhythmic experimentation within the riffs and keep it relatively grounded and (mostly) in four. Lyrically, it's a jab at the whole indie/hipster world following some heat I received for my Doordash on tour comments in the twitter-verse. It's about as autobiographical as I have ever been!" - Stephen Burdick

ABOUT

Grab a beer, throw up your legs, and let out a sigh of relief. A new era is born; or at least, something like that. Philadelphia’s premier fuzz-filled rockers are ushering in 2023 with new music throughout the year, and have arrived at their second single, "Not My Circus". Formed in 2014 by some buddies in High School with a shared love for music and endless amounts of ambition (sometimes to the point of absurdity), The Stone Eye is a band that prides itself in tackling multiple genres within one cohesive package; usually topped off with thunderous rhythm, loud guitars, and haunting vocals. It was not always this way though, and that's part of the appeal. Throughout the band's long history, musical evolution and experimentation have been at the forefront of each member's mind. What happens if you cross pop-sensibilities with traditional metal? Or maybe throw some funk in there for the ladies? Perhaps this song needs a hand pan? Why not! With every new release, The Stone Eye is providing new perspectives on tried genres, and that's... well, cool. These upcoming releases are absolutely no exception to that now-established mantra, so strap on in, grab that beer we were talking about earlier, and enjoy the ride.

"Not My Circus" is the second of four singles & music videos cultivated in a twelve-track album entitled Fata Morgana, which is scheduled for an April 28th, 2023 release. Fata Morgana and the aforementioned singles with be made available through Electric Talon Records on CD, Cassette, and Digital mediums.

Out of Brooklyn NY Comes Mag Electric with Their New Single "Thorn In My Side"

MAG ELECTRIC release their new single/video "THORN IN MY SIDE". Mag Electric plays music that can best be described as hard rock with a healthy dose of psychedelic influence. "Thorn In My Side" garners all of those motions put into place by a distinct bass and drum drive. The vocals were undeniably written and sung to fit the jam. This is a complete work formed with overtures of classic and psych rock. With their second release, it is time to give Mag Electric their due. "Thorn In My Side" is set to bring the rock loud and proud!

'"Thorn in my Side" is Mag Electric's hard rock expression of life's annoyances and problems. Brought about by daily struggles most everyone experiences in all walks of life, the song expresses a response to the thorn in your side in your own life. All wrapped up in a psychedelic hard rock package, "Thorn" figures to be song rock fans can relate to as we go through life picking thorns out of our own sides."' - William Peluso

"Thorn In My Side'' is the second single from NYC 3-piece Mag Electric. Building off the hard rock foundation the band laid with their debut "Iron Horse", "Thorn In My Side" sees the band explore more of their musical roots. The psychedelic influences of guitarist Jack Simchak are on full display, from beginning to end. In addition, the unique arrangement necessitated by the song's intro section showcases the band's appreciation of non-traditional song structures. Make sure to check out "Thorn In My Side", a song that could be an instant classic among fans of the genre.

PURCHASE "THORN IN MY SIDE"

ABOUT:

Mag Electric is a 3 piece hard rock band from Brooklyn. The band consists of Jack Simchak (guitar and vocals), Scott Meyer (bass), and Bill Peluso (drums). The three came together out of a shared love of old-school hard rock bands like QOTSA, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, and ZZ Top, as well as master musicians like Jeff Porcaro. Mag plays music that can best be described as hard rock with a healthy dose of psychedelic influence. Through each song written and performed the band strives to stay true to what they love about their musical roots while maintaining relevance to what they as individuals want to express. On the heels of their first release Roadie music mag said this about their debut single "Iron Horse", "What Jack Simchak (guitar and vocals), Scott Meyer (bass) and Bill Peluso (drums) did on Iron Horse, can be considered an immediate classic, such is the strength of its hard rock with seventies influences, but which borders on the lines of stoner rock, at certain times, showing enormous versatility in their heavy and adrenaline-filled sound, with an intense footprint and a lot of originality on the surface at all times." The band is currently gigging around NYC in support of their upcoming sophomore single "Thorn In My Side" coming out in the winter of 2023. Looking ahead you can find the band on the road touring the northeast this spring with more releases coming throughout the rest of 2023 so make sure to follow and stay tuned.

*Mag Electric will be going out on tour in late April-early May throughout the northeast going down as south as Virginia and as far north as Maine hitting many places in between. More information will be available on all band social media accounts as the dates get closer.

LA Goth Band- The God Bands Release "Black and Yellow"

THE GOD BOMBS 

RELEASE A NEW VIDEO/SINGLE

"BLACK AND YELLOW"

ft. on Lead Guitar - Chris Lorraine



The God Bombs will be opening for Orgy on 3/24 at the legendary Hollywood rock venue The Whisky A Go Go

Los Angeles, CA - '"Black and Yellow" -  is the latest video in a series of collaborations between the God Bombs and LA-based Cinematographer/Director Jason Kaplan. The truth sometimes is best conveyed through music and art, both of which this collaboration between God Bombs lead vocalist - Justin Symbol, featured guitarist - Chris Lorraine, and Cinematographer Jason Kaplan has accomplished with their single "Black and Yellow".

ABOUT "BLACK AND YELLOW":

"The video explores the horror of corporate America, where talented humans are bled of their creativity and funneled into a meaningless "hive" system of work and drudgery. The concept began with the idea to have disgruntled office workers and an overbearing boss villain who would morph into some kind of bee creature with hives sprouting out of him. I like that it weaves a horror narrative with some elements of humor in the office environment, and of course, the band rocking out in the warehouse! It was helped along by some really great extras, friends of ours who showed up for the shoot in costume! (Humberto MezaDave Leon, and more).

Make-up artist, Autumn Lee, created great beehive prosthetics, and an actor friend ended up playing the Boss in an excellent performance. I spent days crafting the custom "beehive" guitar played by Chris Lorraine in the video. Later we added a band performance scene shot in an abandoned warehouse location that Jason found, thus finalizing an incredible video!

As well, a shout out to prop mistress Nichole Carillo who designed my glowing toxic "icicle" shaped microphone! We all hope you enjoy this collaboration as much as we do!"' - Justin Symbol, singer of The God Bombs

ABOUT THE GOD BOMBS:

The God Bombs are back in LA with a new lineup and a new album being recorded. The music video for “Black and Yellow” is awaiting release while rumors spread of collaborations with other musicians and artists on the upcoming album GΩDHEAD. 

The God Bombs are known for their hard-hitting, straight-ahead electro-punk industrial sound. The band has been amassing a dedicated cult following, touring North America in recent years, including the Amerikkkant Tour supporting Ministry. Other artists they've toured with include Mushroomhead, Green Jello, The Bunny The Bear, William Control, Psyclon Nine, and Tim Skold. 

They have performed at festivals around the country including Wasteland Weekend (California), Sanctuary Festival (Chicago), Apoxeast (Pennsylvania), and Nickstock (Upstate NY). 

They've also written songs with Marilyn Manson co-founder Daisy Berkowitz, and former Beck DJ and US DMC Champion DJ Swamp. Their popular music videos total over 450,000 views on YouTube. Live footage from the Ministry tour is available on the HEX LIVE DVD. With features from some of the most unique and creative minds in music today, The God Bombs are poised to make a huge impact with their new album.

THE GOD BOMBS ARE:

Justin Symbol - vocals

West Rozen - bass

Ania Thomas - guitar

Special thanks - to Director/Cinematographer Jason Kaplan who made this video possible! I am honored by how our ongoing collaborations continue to grow and expand in scope and talent! Also to Chris Lorraine who channeled the ghost of Mr. Daisy Berkowitz with his amazing guitar leads on that fateful full-moon night in Hollywood. And of course, God Bombs bassist West Rozen, who sparked it all by writing the initial bass lines and concept for this song! Last but not least Keoki Trask, the ultimate behind-the-scenes team player who added a really cool programming and production touch that brought this song to the next level! This has turned out to be an amazing collaboration and an exciting first step toward the era known as GΩDHEAD!

107 ROCK WBRR -THE GATOR

"Interesting vocal post-metal. The gloomy Atmosphere and the well-thought-out cover were very enjoyable. A powerful composition that captivates and catches the listener." - Rate It

"The dark grungy energy really fits my mood today. your guitarist went crazy with the riffs, the mix is well-controlled between all the high dynamics of vocals and guitars." - Rate It

Fire Follows' newest single "SAY WORDS" is a follow-up to Fire Follows prior releases "Shedding This Skin" and "The Puppeteer".

Each single builds upon the other creating a power-metal force at each step! Chris Watt (Fire Follows) continues to team up with leading producers as he makes music he believes in.

This isn't your ordinary convergence of metal parts - this is an entire mechanically and passionately working entity.

Writing/Tracking/Production: Chris Watt

Mix Engineer: Landon Hook

Mastering Engineer: Chris Henderson

ABOUT:

Fire Follows is the passion project of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Watt. Located in Colorado Springs, CO, Chris does all writing and recording at his home studio... or probably more appropriately referred to as a studio home at this point. Since its inception in 2019, Fire Follows has continued morphing and evolving. Originally with just Chris, to the eventual involvement and contribution of outside musicians, and now swinging back to more of a solo project, the Fire Follows model is very fluid, and will continue to remain flexible as touring and new material will inevitably require contributions from other players. Chris's goal is very simple... get as many ears to hear the music as possible.



In Chris's own words, "There are roughly 8 billion people on the planet, right? So the goal is simple, get all 8 billion to hear the music from Fire Follows. I have no interest in making a penny from FF. These songs are literally pieces of my soul, and there is something so powerful about not only sharing that with the world but trying to create an experience that pulls the listener into the energetic space in which each song was created. I always encourage fans to listen to the songs multiple times as they are written in layers, and it takes multiple listens to really get the full effect and experience those layers fully."

Fire Follows is continuing to release new singles throughout 2023 and you will find them on tour with SMILE EMPTY SOUL AND TANTRIC.

Philadelphia Stoner/90s Rockers The Stone Eye Bring "Donora"

The Stone Eye Release Their New Single "Donora". The Stone Eye is an alternative rock band that unites distinctive musicianship with a fervor to create a sound markedly all theirs. Their music is a gradual evolutionary process that requires every note to come full circle. "Donora" certainly will entice their listeners to be ready for more.

'"Donora" is a song that began with one creative direction in mind and ended up veering off of the side of a cliff by the end of the songwriting process. That's The Stone Eye way. Initially, Stephen Burdick brought what is now the first couple minutes of the song to the band. After collectively workshopping the song around as a collective for about three weeks, we ended up with a five-minute song that stylistically jumps all over the place yet remains cohesive- which is really cool. "Donora" certainly isn't the most out-there song on the record, but it showcases the band's evolution whilst remaining true to our sound at the same time."' - The Stone Eye

"We Are Not The Same" Swim the Current ft. Marcos Leal of lll Nino

"The crushing track and slick video are further examples of why you can’t sleep on this rising band..."

Editor of GhostCult Magazine

New Jersey/New York - Tri-State Super Group - Swim The Current have come together to release their next single "WE ARE NOT THE SAME" feat. Marcos Leal of III Nino.

Swim the Current is a project founded by guitarist Greg Antine. Antine knew an infusion would be his creation and together with the professional talents of bassist - George Pond (Disciples Of Verity); drummer - Chris Moore (Ultraphonix); guitarist - Joe Gareri (Joe Gareri Project the music written, recorded, and produced would result in a rock music experience. Each single released thus far has placed a well-known featured vocalist and "We Are Not The Same" has certainly accomplished this marker again with Marcos Leal of III Nino as STC's guest vocalist.

"I’m incredibly honored to be a part of this amazing track with such incredible musicians. We're not the same was written as an Angry Anthem, as a way to help me cope with the demons and frustration of my fathers' cancer diagnosis. It helped me Channel a lot of the anger and aggression within me into something much more productive I am very proud of this song and want to extend thanks to George, Joe, and the rest of the members of Swim The Current For allowing me to be a part of such a masterpiece!"

Marcos Leal Guest Vocals

“The volume of voice measures the value that the mind puts upon the thought! How we think and feel are direct reflections of our surroundings. You are a product of your environment."

George Pond Bassist/Producer

"WE ARE NOT THE SAME"

ABOUT:

Having played in numerous bands throughout the years, Guitarist Greg Antine came to a point in his career where he wanted to branch out and write songs that had more depth and were inspired by his personal life experiences. Having grown up less than two miles from the beaches of South Jersey, The entire vibe of Swim the Current is infused with elements of the ocean and beaches of South Jersey where Greg still resides.

 

Having worked with Bassist George Pond for several years on previous projects including, Disciples Of Verity, Greg expressed his concept for Swim The Current to George in hopes of collaborating with him on this new music venture. The two began to flesh out ideas in George’s home studio and realized quickly that they were on to something special, but still needed something more to see their ideas through to complete their concepts. 

 

Greg was introduced to Joe Gareri, Guitar/Keyboards, by George during the Disciples Of Verity debut album recording sessions which Joe is also featured as a guest artist. The three of them immediately hit it off and worked extremely well together. Greg and George realized that Joe’s cinematic writing style would be a perfect match for their concepts and Joe was then brought in as a full-time member.

 

After two songs were completed and demo’d in George’s studio utilizing programmed drums, it was suggested by their friend Allyson Song River Jaynes, that they reach out to her friend, veteran drummer Chris Moore of Ultraphonix, Rock Of Ages, to see if he would be interested in working with the project. Upon hearing the strength of songwriting and musicianship of the band, Chris was all in and signed on as the fourth full-time member of STC and now the band was complete.

 

From day one Greg’s vision for STC was to feature various vocalists for each of the songs who would differentiate the sound and essence of each one, making them individually unique. Guest vocalists for the project have included: Charlie Berezansky (VEXES), Dan Caputo (Negative Sky), Chaka Malik (Orange 9mm, BURN) Jai Messina (Jai Diablo)(DragPipe, Stem), and Greg Christie (ElevenAfter, Nude Groove), and now Marcos Leal (III Nino).

 

Swim The Current’s sound is influenced and reminiscent of many of their favorite artists including, Deftones, Faith No More, Sevendust, POD, and Stabbing Westward. They continue to write new music and will have additional guest vocalists in their future releases.

Greg Antine - Guitar; George Pond - Bass; Joe Gareri - Guitar;

GEARS Wraps Up the Year with "Lost Again"

'"Lost Again" is just one of those songs that I think everyone can relate to. We have all been in that situation or those situations where it seems like we're reliving it over and over trying to find out where we've gone wrong and how we ended up, yet again, lost. We neurotically replay the whole scenario in our heads and for the life of us, we can not see exactly where it went bad and led us further into our current state. It's not all bad though. Having the ability to objectively search for a point or points where it began to go in the wrong direction should give us the knowledge and wisdom to have the ability to apply what each situation has taught us to be better in the future."' - Jimmy, GEARS

About GEARS

Rock needs reinvention. It only moves forward when a band pushes it to do so. Enter: GEARS. Finding a sweet spot between metal, R&B, hip-hop, and alternative, the Miami, FL group—Jimmy Wooten [drums] and Tripp Sixx [vocals]

—zigs and zags past all expectations and burns down one convention after another in the process. Racking up hundreds of thousands of streams and views, collaborating with everyone from members of Living Colour to Sevendust, and receiving plugs from Metal Insider and more, they usher in a new era of rock with a series of singles and their forthcoming independent debut album.

“There’s something for everyone,” observes Jimmy. “It’s heavy. It’s soulful. It’s melodic. The band’s versatility is our strength. We’ll bring R&B and hip-hop into rock, but we’re doing it in our own tight and cohesive way.”

GEARS initially began to grind back in 2014. New York native Tripp wound up in Florida and met fellow Northeast transplant, Jimmy. Bonding over shared influences such as Prince, Alice In Chains, Deftones, and more, they carefully carved out a singular style. After playing countless shows and dropping the Pride Comes Before the Fall EP in 2015, the band teamed up with Sevendust vocalist Lajon Witherspoon on “Tango Yankee.” Meanwhile, Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery contributed guitar to the latter as well as to the singles “Stronger Than Pain” and “King.” They also collaborated with the likes of Corey Lowery [Seether] and Troy McLawhorn [Evanescence] in addition to dueting with legendary Living Colour frontman Corey Glover on a cover of the classic “Cult of Personality.”

Along the way, they crossed paths with producer Chris Dawson [SAUL, Any Given Sin, Seasons After] and found the perfect production partner. Hitting the studio in 2020, they immediately uncovered undeniable creative chemistry.

“It just hit,” adds Trip. “It came together really quickly, and we clicked with Dawson on all fronts.”

With Dawson behind the board, they completed their 2021 single “Wasteland”. Airy electronics give way to head-nodding drums and chugging guitars on the track. Trip’s soulful cadence twists and turns through the beats before culminating in the catchy chorus, “Save me, locked in a cage, and I can’t get out.”

“It’s about being trapped in a mindset you don’t see any way out of,” the frontman states.

“It encompasses a lot of things,” Jimmy elaborates. “It’s easy to become trapped in continuous circles in life where you’re doing the same things over and over again. As a band, you have to reach outside of the box, work with someone new, try something different, and change the sound. Following the Pandemic, it’s like a rebirth for GEARS in a weird way, so we decided to push the envelope.”

Gears single “Wasteland” went on to achieve even greater heights as “Wasteland” hit the Top 20 Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator and Top 50 Mediabase Active Rock. They won’t stop pushing the envelope either. For as much as Gears urge rock to evolve, they elicit a classic reaction. “When you leave a concert, we want you to feel like it was worth it,” Tripp leaves off. “We want you to bop, jump, yell, scream, and do it all. We try to give listeners this gratification.” “We hit you with as many emotions as possible,” agrees Jimmy. “Maybe a song will affect you and connect on a deeper level—or you’ll be able to bounce to it simply. This is meant to spark a physical and emotional reaction.”

And Gears continues to take their listeners with them as their last single “Don’t Want To Say Goodbye” was placed on Octane TEST Drive and with the culmination was a successful shift forward. The way was clear and the opportunities boundlessly continued to develop as Gears on 8/5 released "Good Enough" and radio rotation was heavy. "Good Enough" was also in the Top 50 Mediabase and Top 20 Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator.

Now finishing out 2022 Gears wanted to give their fans a wrap-up of appreciation for all their support and blaze into 2023 with "Lost Again". Touring is on the horizon along with more Gears music - so be ready!

Fire Follows New Single: "Shedding This Skin"

"I found the drummer to be very successful and the vocal performance was also very successful, the artist captured very nice tones without tiring his voice. All the best!" - Spotify Playlister 

"This song is a banger. Reminds me of Inflames, Soilwork with some Disturbed, and Memphis May Fire." - Rate Hot or Not

"Beautiful melodic metal with symphonic elements. Beautiful arrangement, coolly recorded, and thoughtful instrumental parts. I like it!" - Rate Hot or Not

LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: "SHEDDING THIS SKIN"

Colorado Springs, Colorado - Fire Follows' newest single "Shedding This Skin" is a follow-up to Fire Follows prior release "The Puppeteer". Artist Chris Watt is creating a full sound package as he continues to build his own mechanism of music to connect.

Each single builds upon the other creating a power-metal force at each step! Chris Watt (Fire Follows) continues to team up with leading producers as he makes music he believes in. Following his last single "The Puppeteer" - "Shedding This Skin" continues his journey, and ears are taking note. This isn't your ordinary convergence of metal parts - this is an entire mechanically and passionately working entity.

Writing/Tracking/Production: Chris Watt

Mix Engineer: Landon Hook

Mastering Engineer: Chris Henderson

Fire Follows is the passion project of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Watt. Located in Colorado Springs, CO, Chris does all writing and recording at his home studio... or probably more appropriately referred to as a studio home at this point. Since its inception in 2019, Fire Follows has continued morphing and evolving. Originally with just Chris, to the eventual involvement and contribution of outside musicians, and now swinging back to more of a solo project, the Fire Follows model is very fluid, and will continue to remain flexible as touring and new material will inevitably require contributions from other players. Chris's goal is very simple... get as many ears to hear the music as possible.

In Chris's own words, "There are roughly 8 billion people on the planet ya? So the goal is simple, get all 8 billion to hear the music from Fire Follows. I have no interest in making a penny from FF. These songs are literally pieces of my soul, and there is something so powerful about not only sharing that with the world but trying to create an experience that pulls the listener into the energetic space in which each song was created. I always encourage fans to listen to the songs multiple times as they are written in layers, and it takes multiple listens to really get the full effect and experience those layers fully." FF looks forward to rolling out all new music that was written and recorded in 2022 and hopes to see all of you very soon.

Artist BlackLip Releases New Single/Video for "WHAT HAVE I BECOME" - LISTEN!

BlackLip is a solo, genre-fluid artist hailing from Indiana, USA. Growing up in a small town as a kid, and feeling out of place in his roots of Indiana, it's become a mission to become bigger than where he came from. After splitting with previous rock group In The A.M. in 2020, BlackLip hit the studio focused on making music that counts; music that will last. Wanting to branch away from the stigma of his previous music endeavor, some really beautiful, catchy, and melodic songs were the result.

BlackLip reflects, "Making music that creates a unique emotion in the listener is always my goal. I want to be memorable. Not so much because of my image, and more because of the way my songs make you feel."

A multi-instrumentalist in his artistic nature, when you hear a song, know that you're most likely listening to his guitar playing, his drumming, bass playing, and his vocals. "What Have I Become?" is BlackLip's first release from a series of singles coming over the rest of 2022 and leading to his first full-length album.

"This release has been 2 whole years in the making. Between working with 4 different mixing and mastering engineers on this song, and constantly tweaking the mix, getting 6 different masters before selecting the final one, it has been a long process, to say the least. But we've arrived at the finish line and the song sounds fantastic! This song is about people who intentionally abuse you repeatedly whether mentally or physically, resulting in a personality change that is completely against your will. The emotion behind the song comes from a dark place." - ABlackLip
