The band has been featured on numerous radio shows such as Denver Colorado’s KBPI, XM Radio’s Unsigned Bands and Mayhem & Rage Radio from Florida. Another Black Day has recently recorded a full length CD at Bieler Brother’s Records (Skindred, Non-Point) in Sunrise FL. The long awaited full length was produced by A.B.D and Matt LaPlant (NonPoint, Sikth). The music is comprised of aggressive complex guitar work, thought provoking lyrics, awe inspiring drumming, powerful vocals and cohesive songwriting wrapped up into one unique package. Each band member contributes his own style into the music, which in turn, breeds an unmistakably original musical creation.
The A.B.D live show is a force to be reckoned with. Another Black Day pours all of their energy and aggression and musical prowess into a wall of kinetic energy. Angel’s drumming is dead on, Haas’s bass lines are tight and powerful, Matt’s vocals are earth shattering and coupled with blistering guitar work he forces the crowd into the A.B.D onslaught. Put all of that together with constant movement on stage and you have the Another Black Day's live show…Excitement…Energetic…and Flawless.
Awakened
Another Black Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is it something I'll change? I'll wait.
Give me a sign before I fade.
I've wasted my life. I've wasted my time.
I am awakened by my disease
Don't be mistaken its what I need
Or is it hopeless to find?
Can I find anything good in me? Or am I blind?
I've wasted my life. I've wasted my time
I am awakened by my disease
Don't be mistaken its what I need
Awaken me!!!!!
Yeaaaaaaaahh
I am awakened by my disease[awakened..my disease]
Don't be mistaken its what I need.
I am awakened by my disease[awakened..my disease]
Don't be mistaken its what I need.
The lyrics to Another Black Day's song Awakened convey a sense of desperation and introspection. The first verse questions the worth of fighting, whether it will lead to a real change or not. The singer seems lost and uncertain, asking for a sign before they fade away. The repetition of "I've wasted my life, I've wasted my time" emphasizes the singer's feeling of hopelessness and regret.
The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's disease, which seems to be the catalyst for their awakening. They wonder if there is anything good left in themselves or in the world, or if they are too blinded by their disease to see it. The repetition of "I am awakened by my disease, don't be mistaken it's what I need" suggests that the singer has come to terms with their illness and the effect it has had on their life. The final "Awaken me!" is a plea for something to change, for a new path to be revealed.
Overall, the song explores the themes of regret, self-reflection, and acceptance. The disease mentioned could be a literal sickness or a metaphor for a personal struggle or addiction.
