Death Audios' intense tunes will plague your brain and the insane stage presence will have you head banging in a state of frenzy. The birth of death audio was a labor of love that brought together five talented musicians; Will Borland (guitarist), Bulldog (drummer), Josh (vocalist), J.K (guitarist) and Az (bass & vocals).

Will Borland, fraught, searching for an outlet for his passion for music, consistently in and out of bands for years decided to shift his focus to the business side of the music industry. During the past two years alongside playing music, Will built and continues to run a successful event management business which puts hundreds of local Australian bands onstage, exposing them to the public and discovering new talent.

In early 2007 Will met Bulldog whilst playing in the local Melbourne band. On tour together the boys discussed the possibility of starting up a new band. The idea was up in the air as Bulldogs heart was initially in moving overseas for work – but before they knew it, deep in the rehearsal rooms of the Jam Tin in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne – Death Audio was born, and nobody was going anywhere! From the first rehearsal the Jam Tin shook like it had never shaken before. Bulldog resigned his idea of working overseas, and Will cut his workload in half to commit to the band.

Stepping into the band next was Josh, starting off on bass Josh brought aggressive melodies to kill for along with J.K from his former band. With a full band line up without vocals, Death Audio held auditions week after week in search for the vocalist that would rip the ears off the crowds, not knowing that the talent was standing in the room with them - behind the bass. After some time Josh decided to leave the band due to his growing lack of interest in playing bass, he didn't want it to destroy the band down the track if he lost anymore interest in it.

After two months Death Audio was still writing and rehearsing songs, and not anywhere even remotely close to giving up on the music they created. It was around then that Josh called in and said he missed the band and that he'd like to try vocals instead of bass as he thought that vocally, he could offer the band a lot more. Josh stepped into the room after months of absence, impressed by the progress and development of the new music he let his voice rip, and just like that Death Audio discovered the strong aggressive vocals that drive the band.

After weeks of writing, Death Audio needed to complete the backbone of the band with a tight bass player. Will knowing a mate from a past project called upon Az and invited him to a rehearsal, and the punchy tones of the songs were an instant hit. The addition of Aaron helped create the entirety of Death Audio by bringing in awesome bass talent and golden backing vocal tones.

Eight months in the making and Death Audio has already launched their first attack on Victoria touring with the mighty Frankenbok, pushing their ability to create a massive fan base. The Death Audio Epidemic will not be contained, keep an eye out for an outbreak in a town near YOU.

This Moment
DEATH AUDIO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run through the hills screaming murder, can’t escape what you can’t see.
We live in murderous times, run through that house with a vengeance,
You know what they get, consequence was the last thing on my mind.
Cause you will pay, with your lives, you’ll fucking die. Die.
Keep running your mouth cause you will pay, vengeance is mine.
Cause I’m shutting you down, yeah you will pay, vengeance is mine.
Run through that house with a vengeance, you hold no regrets.
Consequence was the last thing on my mind, cause you will pay, with your lives

You’ll fucking die. Die. Keep running your mouth, cause you will pay.
Vengeance is mine, I’m shutting you down, yeah you will pay, vengeance is mine.
You better watch out, cause I’m calling you out and knocking you out.
In this moment, the life slips from you and I can’t figure out just what we both fight for.
I tear out your heart and I throw it away, you lean the hard way when you’re
Smashed into pieces and spread out all over the floor. Murderer, you murderer.
Don’t look back cause I’ll smack you down these are the murderous times.
Don’t look back, to me.
In this moment, the life slips from you and I can’t figure out just what we both fight for.

I tear out your heart, crush it and throw it away, you lean the hard way when you’re
Smashed into pieces and spread out all over the floor.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "This Moment" by DEATH AUDIO depict a scene of violence and revenge. The chorus "Vengeance is mine, I’m shutting you down, yeah you will pay, vengeance is mine" is a threat to those who have wronged the singer, and he intends to make them pay for their actions, no matter the cost. The verses describe a situation where the singer is running through a house, screaming murder, and ending in a bloody fight where he tears out someone's heart and throws it away. The repeated phrase "murderous times" suggests that the singer believes these actions are necessary in the context of a violent world.

The song's lyrics are both aggressive and pessimistic. They illustrate a world where revenge and violence are the only possible responses to wrongdoing, and where death and destruction are ever-present threats. The singer is shown to be consumed by his desire for vengeance, to the point where he is willing to kill and destroy. The song's overall message is disturbing, but it speaks to a feeling of impotence and frustration that many people may feel in the face of a world that often seems to be spiralling out of control.
