Cage The Gods, the sensational new British rock band that fuse together rock ‘n’ roll culture from the four corners of the UK in a thunderously blues-inspired fashion are pleased to announce their debut EP release on 24th November and an opening slot on the forthcoming The Answer UK headline tour with very special guests, Tracer.
Irish vocalist Peter Comerford and Scottish guitarist Jam formed the band in the summer of 2012 to record and release material they had already begun writing. Before long, the pair crossed paths with 6’7” Welsh bassist Mitch Witham. Young English drummer Colin Jones is the most recent addition having replaced original drummer NJ who in true rock n roll fashion went on a booze fuelled week in Vegas with a 38 year old glamour model, got married by Elvis in ''The Chapel Of Love'' and hasn't been seen since.... Thankfully Jones was able to step up to the mark and solidify his place within the band after a charismatic debut performance supporting US-rockers Filter!.
The band spent most of 2012 writing, producing, recording and mixing their debut, as yet untitled, album due for release in early 2014. Not content with just making a great record they then mastered it, designed the sleeve, manufactured a limited edition fan version and proceeded to set about procuring management and live agents without a second thought. Spin forward into 2013 and they had secured all the above and more with international management, major promoters and UK & US booking agents all in tow.
Their self released debut four-track EP “FAVOURITE SIN” will be released on November 24 in both the UK and USA and will support their opening slot on The Answer’s UK/Irish tour . The EP is backed with “From the Start”, “Wake Up” and “Sacrifice (acoustic)”. "We all have that one thing...that taboo...that guilty pleasure...the forbidden fruit that we know probably isn't good for us but is just too goddamn enticing to ignore! Well Favourite Sin is about leading the innocent down that path...showing them the hidden bliss within their darkest guilty secret!".
The band have already found support from Classic Rock magazine which profiled them in a full page article in the September issue “these British rockers could be huge”.
Having recently supported the Radio One play listed Heavens Basement and Classic Rock best new band winners Tracer, Cage The Gods are set to play many more dates in 2013.

Sacrifice
Cage The Gods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has left me blinded
I don't feel any younger
I'm finally getting over
That woman
I call you
I ain't giving just cause you want it
Well does it scare you
Now thatI'm being honest
I've had enough of your lies
All my sacrifice
Has left me blinded
I don't feel any younger
I'm finally getting over
That woman
I call you
I've been thinking
That someday you'll follow me
Times gone by now
I can't live my life through this misery
How long is it been you took everything
Got trapped by the world
You're living in
Had enough of your lies
All my sacrifice
Has left me blinded
I don't feel any younger
I'm finally getting over
That woman
I call you
I contemplate
Some kind of way
To get you off my back
All my sacrifice
Has left me blinded
I don't feel any younger
I'm finally getting over
That woman
I call you
The lyrics of Cage The Gods's "Sacrifice" express a feeling of regret and disillusionment about the sacrifices made for someone who was not worth it. The singer feels "blinded" by all the sacrifice made and realizes that it has not made him feel any younger. He finally admits to himself that the woman he called his had been lying to him, but he had been too naive to see it before. He is now done with her lies and deceit and is ready to move on.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how he had hoped that the woman would follow him someday, but now he sees that it is just a dream. He is tired of living in misery and being trapped in her world, where she takes everything from him. He contemplates finding a way to get her off his back and move on with his life.
The chorus repeats that all the sacrifices have left him "blinded" and not feeling any younger, but he is finally getting over the woman he called his. The song ends with the singer contemplating how to move on from the past and start anew.

Cage The Gods - Sacrifice
Un brano da urlo con un giro ritmico semplice, armonioso e facile al ricordo...
"Far vincere una squadra non è questione di quanto grande sia il giocatore, o i giocatori.
Devono tutti essere disposti a sacrificarsi e a dare qualcosa di se stessi, pur di diventare campioni."
