BPMD was conceived in the summer of 2019 when Ellsworth, Demmel, Menghi and Portnoy teamed up to record an album featuring covers of 1970s songs, titled American Made. In a January 2020 interview on The Blairing Out with Eric Blair Show, Demmel revealed that the project would be called BPMD, in reference to three of the members' last names as well as Ellsworth's nickname Blitz. About the project, he said: "It's all cover tunes from American bands of the '70s. It's called American Made, and it's got songs from ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, James Gang, Aerosmith, Grand Funk Railroad — all these cover tunes that we modernized them and not really thrashed them up, but we made kind of metal versions of them. And we think we found maybe a label home, and we're looking to put the record out here probably at the end of the first quarter, maybe beginning of second quarter. It's all up in the air right now."
American Made was released on June 12, 2020 through Napalm Records, and includes ten song covers.[
Evil
BPMD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone
Something just ain't right
That's evil
Evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya brother
Well, long way from home and
Can't sleep at all
You know another mule
Is kickin' in your stall
That's evil
Evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy home
You better catch him
'Cause somethin' wrong
In your home
Well, if ya call her on the telephone
And she answers awful slow
Grab the first train smokin'
If you have to hobo
That's evil
Evil is goin' on wrong
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy home
If you make it to your house
Knock on the front door
Run around to the back
You'll catch him just before he go
That's evil
Evil is goin' on
I am warnin' ya brother
You better watch your happy home
The lyrics of BPMD's song "Evil" speak to the idea of being away from home and sensing that something is not quite right. The opening lines suggest that when we feel uneasy and unable to sleep, we should pay attention to our instincts and take action. The mention of using the telephone as a means of communication is an interesting nod to the modern world and how we can stay connected even when we are physically far from home.
The repeated refrain of "evil is goin' on wrong" underscores the idea that danger is looming and we need to be cautious if we want to protect our homes and loved ones. The lyrics introduce the concept of a "mule" who is intruding and causing harm, and warns us of the need to catch this threat before it's too late. The song also highlights the importance of swift action and not hesitating when we suspect something is amiss.
Overall, "Evil" is a song that reminds us to pay attention to our intuition and take steps to protect ourselves and those we love. It's a cautionary tale that speaks to our need to be vigilant in uncertain times, and a call to action for anyone who senses that something is not quite right.
