The other day I get a message in my inbox to check out this artist named Ren and pointed me to listen to his latest single “Hi Ren”. The words used to describe was how mind blowing it was and it is beyond anything done before. With words like that, I knew it was worth checking into. And yeah, mind blowing does not even begin to describe it. The song is an over 9 minute...
Let’s dive into this sludgy, hard rock song and get to the bottom of what it all means. Curtain Call Records recording artists Nocion are based in San Juan, Puerto Rico formed in 2001. “The Grave” talks about the spoils of war, mostly the death of young, innocent children whose voices can’t be heard, mostly b/c of their age (babies). The Grave They made their graves Deaths in vain They killed them all A...
On this week’s A Look at the Lyrics, we have an Electro-Punk-Rock band hailing from Minneapolis. Follow along as Andy of VERSION 5 gives us the meaning behind Absolute Zero. Enjoy the ride. We were inspired to write the lyrics after a few all-night caffeine and alcohol-infused writing sessions in the heart of a bitterly cold Minnesota winter. The vibe of the song had a Space-rock feel to it. We thought it’d be cool to...
Wicked Earth – “Light the Shadow” “Light The Shadow is about the Spirit of 1776. A modern interpretation is the awakening of men to the political powers that be, that doesn’t necessarily have our best interests at heart.

The story behind “Shine Again” is very personal. In 2015, my band at the time had grown to its biggest stature in its 10-year history. We were playing to capacity crowds, our latest album had been positively reviewed internationally, and we were writing the best songs of our time together. However, in December 2015, both of my parents became extremely ill. My father nearly passed away from pneumonia and my mother’s weight had dwindled near...
On this weeks “A Look at the Lyrics” we give you an inside view to the meaning behind Conflict Cycle – Dark Days Ahead “Dark Days Ahead is about the messed up political and social environment we currently live in. We are repeating similar mistakes made throughout history, like the whole tactic of “bread and circus” used by the Roman oligarchy to distract people from the ensuing collapse. Today, instead of bread and circus, we...
On this weeks “A Look at the Lyrics” we give you an inside view to the meaning behind The Anxious Hearts “Sadness“. “The story behind this song is that Jordan, the founder, guitarist, and singer originally wrote it with his ex wife about a troubled relationship.
