History:
Blood Tsunami formed in 2004 with Pete on guitar and vocals and Jay on drums. The music of Blood Tsunami was, and still is, nothing but vicious and aggressive old school thrash metal, heavily influenced by the Bay Area Scene and German Thrash Metal from the 80's. Soon Riff Randall joined on bass and Dor stepped in on the second guitar. Shortly after they recorded their first demo and on august the 24th they performed their first show. After a while Riff Randall decided to leave the band and was quickly replaced by Bosse who used to play bass with Pete in the punk/rock band called Hellride. Not many months later Jay also decided to drop out of the band. Pete soon called up Faust (Scum, Aborym, ex-Emperor) and asked him to join the band. Faust liked what he heard and agreed to give it a try. Today he is the fulltime skinbeater of Blood Tsunami.
The new line up quickly entered Lion Heart Studios and during three days in July 2005 they recorded another demo. During 2006 it became obvious that Bosse had become too busy with his other band, Brut Boogaloo, and after a while the other members had to let him go. They soon hooked up with Stu Manx, who used to play
bass in the legendary norwegian hardrock-monster called Gluecifer. But after a couple of months it turned out that Stu wasn't the right guy after all. He simply didn't have the time to rehearse. After a few days of desperation the remaining members decided to bring Bosse back to the frontline.
In September 2006 the band once again entered Lion Heart Studio in Oslo and recorded their debut album for Nocturnal Art Productions / Candlelight Records. The album, entitled "Thrash Metal", was released on the 19th of March 2007.
Torn Apart
Blood Tsunami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
compulsive morbid thoughts
Your death will be beautiful
I'm blinded by an urgent need to kill- KILL
Shred stab and slay without control
And now your body lay before me
Wounded, bloody, shattered, ripped to shreds
I've been dreaming about you,
murder, blood, sex and death
And now I get to do all of this
I'm blinded by an urgent need to kill - KILL
And violate your every orifice
And now your body lay before me Wounded,
bloody, shattered, ripped to shreds
Torn Apart - Impossible to identify
Torn Apart - Your death makes me feel alive
I've been longing for you,
I want you by my side
In pieces, shattered, lifeless
I'm blinded by an urgent need to kill- KILL
In pieces you will forever rest
And now your body lay before me
Wounded, bloody, shattered, ripped to shreds
Torn Apart - Impossible to identify
Torn Apart - Your death makes me feel alive
Decapitated - more beautiful than ever before
Mutilated - wish I could end your life a thousand times more
And now your body lay before me Wounded, bloody, raped and fucked
Torn Apart - Impossible to identify
Torn Apart - Your death makes me feel alive
The lyrics of Blood Tsunami's song Torn Apart present a disturbing and graphic account of violent, sexually charged desires expressed by an unidentified speaker towards another person. The singer confesses to harboring morbid thoughts about the person, and his or her death is described as beautiful, suggesting that the singer finds aesthetic pleasure in violent acts. The singer feels an intense, overwhelming desire to kill, describing how he or she wants to shred, stab, and slay without control. The imagery is gruesome and explicit, with the singer fantasizing about mutilating the person's body in various ways.
The second verse builds on these themes, with the singer describing how he or she has been dreaming about murder, blood, sex, and death, and now has the opportunity to realize these fantasies. The singer expresses a desire to violate the person's every orifice, adding an element of sexual violence to the already disturbing lyrics. However, the language used is ambiguous, and it's unclear whether the murder and sex the singer describes are actual events or just fevered delusions.
The final verse is the most explicit, with the singer expressing a longing for the person's body to be in pieces, shattered, and lifeless. The singer's pleasure in the violent act is emphasized here, with the repetition of the line "Your death makes me feel alive" and the reference to how the person's body is impossible to identify after it's been torn apart. The final lines add another layer of depravity to the song, with the singer describing how he or she wishes they could end the person's life a thousand times over.
Overall, the lyrics to Torn Apart are a disturbing portrayal of violent, sexualized desires and a graphic account of a murder fantasy. The language used is explicit and gruesome, designed to shock and provoke a reaction from the listener.
