Steeped in a hard rock swing, brash punk energy, metallic bombast, and a healthy helping of death rock, these three musicians—Jimmy Calabrese [vocals, bass], Bobby Calabrese [vocals, guitar], and Davey Calabrese [drums]—established a diehard following and garnered immense critical praise outside of the traditional system, emerging as underground luminaries from their native Phoenix, AZ.
Tastemakers from Alternative Press and Guitar World to Metal Hammer, Rue Morgue, Fangoria, and Rock Sound have featured them, while the trio has shared the stage with the likes of Tiger Army, She Wants Revenge, Strung Out, Nekromantix, and more.

Flesh and Blood
Calabrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll see me eyes, burn like a flame
And I love
Your flesh and blood
I will play your game
Well, your love
Is like an animal
Until the end of the world
Yeah, your love
Is like an animal
And the world
Is just an animal
Down
Way down below
You know you're the one to hold
Digging deep
Into the dirt
You make me move, move, move
Rattle and hurt
Well, your love
Is like an animal
You are mine
Until the end of the world
Yeah, your love (Yeah, your love)
Is like an animal
And the world (And the world)
Is just an animal
Well, your love
Is like an animal
You are mine
Until the end of the world
Yeah, your love (Yeah, your love)
Is like an animal
And the world (And the world)
Is just an animal
The lyrics of Calabrese's song "Flesh and Blood" paint a vivid picture of intense passion and desire. In the first verse, the singer compares the wildness of their love to wolves in the rain. The fiery intensity of their eyes burning like a flame represents the powerful emotions they feel. The phrase "Your flesh and blood" refers to the physical and emotional connection they share. The line "I will play your game" suggests that the singer is willing to engage in any kind of challenge or pursuit to be with their lover.
The chorus further emphasizes the untamed nature of their love. The comparison of love to an animal suggests that it is raw, instinctual, and uncontrollable. The declaration that "You are mine until the end of the world" exhibits a possessive and deeply committed love. The line "And the world is just an animal" implies that in the grand scheme of things, the world is insignificant compared to the intensity of their love.
In the second verse, the lyrics delve deeper into the physical connection between the singer and their lover. The line "You know you're the one to hold" implies that the singer's partner is the only one who can truly satisfy their desires. The use of the phrase "Digging deep into the dirt" suggests a raw and passionate encounter. The phrase "Rattle and hurt" conveys the intensity and possibly even pain that can come with this kind of relationship.
The final chorus repeats the earlier sentiments, highlighting the animalistic and possessive nature of their love. The repetition of the line "You are mine until the end of the world" reinforces the idea of an unbreakable bond. The repeated phrase "And the world is just an animal" reinforces the insignificance of the rest of the world compared to the consuming love they share.
Overall, these lyrics depict a passionate and intense love that transcends societal norms. The imagery of wolves, flames, and animalistic desires convey a relationship that is fierce, consuming, and unyielding. It explores the depths of physical and emotional connections, emphasizing the power and significance of their bond in comparison to the rest of the world.

We were listening to a lot of moodier, darker bands when we wrote “Flesh and Blood.” Lots of Sisters of Mercy, early Cure, the droning and atmospheric stuff that builds on being simple and effective. We wanted to go for a kind of somber vibe, a bleak mix of heavy rock and post-punk. Type-O-Negative is a big influence on that straightforward riff. We filmed it during the recording of ‘Lust For Sacrilege,’ something we’ve never done before. We liked the idea of going for something with a Doors-meets-Danzig feel, something to capture loneliness, desolation, misery. We think it caught the attitude of the song perfectly. Turn out the lights and enjoy. -Bobby
