LYRICS

This is really amazing material! I hope some day more bands will start working this way like Peace of mind and Upset did in this case, because I must say they really endeavoured. Their lyrics are written in 5 different languages and beside that they enclosed also 20 pages long booklet in which members of Peace of mind and some other people contributed some of their thoughts. The booklet laid topics like communication as a weapon, our so called freedom, prison/death penalty....everything very educational and interesting to read. Ok. Let's skip to the bands now. First Peace of mind. They play some kind of convivial emo punk hardcore with male and female vocals. I wish I would heard some more songs because I like it. Their lyrics speak about friends and their separated ways, about our terms to homeless people and for the song called "Untitled" we could find an explanation in the text inside the booklet titled "Live free or die". Very widened lyrics! And on the other side Upset which musically I like more. They have a perfect name for the kind of music they play. Dark, slow, sad with desperate crunching vocal. Typical german style actually, but I like it. I hope they will release some new shit soon. I think their song called "Golden dragonheart ripped out with a knife called schwert'' talks about the fact that we have to think with our own mind and not imitating other people like sheep. They said "I do not need a scene to know who I am". But I'm not totally sure about other song called "Leaving Las Vegas'' which could have more the one meaning but it indubitably criticise out society. Support these two bands!!!
