In years gone by Montreal had become known as a sort of breeding ground for bands influenced by the likes of Union of Uranus and Rorschach.

So with the idea to create a true HARDcore band, Fred found similar thinkers in vocalist Nick Racicot and drummer Ben Dussault, recruited Max Jenniss and Phil Marchand from In Dying Days and began writing. Within months the band had recorded and released a 3-track demo that established them a solid fan-base in Europe, Canada, Japan, and the US.

Following the release of their MCD, ”Gods Final Descent”, on Ontario's Sounds Of Revolution/13th Day Recordings, ADFES went out on the road and began laying waste to the east coast, sharing the stage with the likes of Death Threat, Buried Alive, Throwdown, All Out War and Hatebreed. With their debut full length set for release in winter 2002 and the addition of guitarist Carl Bouchard and bassist Ben Trepanier, ADFES is stronger than ever and have vowed to bring destruction to dance-floors worldwide.

Born to Lose
A Death for Every Sin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've failed in love again
Will I ever win?
All the pain and suffering
Born to lose, accept my fate
Looking back I hate myself for the scars I've left
I have become my nightmares
I have become my fears

Everything I've touched has rot away
Can I redeem myself for the pain I've caused?
Filled with regrets
My heart in my hands
To love is to lose, to hope is to die

In the end I've lost everything I had
I live this life with guilt in my heart
