1: Damien is a hardcore/metal-band (the expression is worn out, but it works) hailing from Karlstad, Sweden. The band was formed in early 2003 by four guys with lots of experience from other Swedish bands, some more successful than others. Originally, Damien started out as a quartet but after only a few rehearsals a second guitarist was recruited to second evolve the sound and make the live performances heavier and more massive.
After a couple of months rehearsing the band was asked to play the infamous Deadfest in Linköping (Sweden) with bands like Walls of Jericho and Undying. Damien’s performance was a complete success and the response was way better than expected. The band was of course psyched about this and went home to Karlstad to rehearse even more. This resulted in a couple of more live shows and finally a five song demo recording during the summer of 2004.
Once again the response was overwhelming and Damien was elected “Best in Sweden” (band of the month) in Swedens biggest metal magazine, Close-Up Magazine #73. This also resulted in a song (“Trucido”) on the free sampler that comes with every number of the magazine. The feature gave the band attention and a couple of record labels showed their interest in Damien, however, nothing has been signed yet.

Give Me A Sign
Damien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
look into
look into my eyes
cant you see?
I want you
the ember's in my eyes
black hearts will try to change
all I ask is try
yeah!
And should I cast my spell?
Or will you come of your free will?
I've got a fire
a burning desire
the preassure in my soul
left me scorching all alone
I know that you'll be glad
and I know that you bleed
Feel the magic rythim
I'll give you what you need
Oh...
And should I cast my spell?
Or will you come of your free will?
I' m not demanding you to be mine
Just give me a sign!
oh, baby...
I wanna make you mine
I'll give you what you need
give you what you need
give me a sign
And if you don't feel wild
about the way I'm coming on
Don't play with my mind girl
Play with my mind
Give me a sign
Yeah...
Give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
And should I cast my spell?
Or will you come of your free will?
I' m not demanding you to be mine
Just give me a sign!
The lyrics to Damien's song "Give Me a Sign" are a plea to a potential love interest to reciprocate the singer's feelings. The opening lines invite the person to look into the singer's eyes and "feel the magic rhythm" that exists between them. The singer acknowledges that there may be obstacles in their path, represented by "black hearts" that will try to change them. But all the singer asks is for the other person to try and see where their connection leads.
The pre-chorus contains a powerful statement of desire, as the singer acknowledges a "burning desire" in their soul for the other person. This desire has left them "scorching all alone," and they long for the other person to join them. The chorus repeats the central question of the song: should the singer cast a spell to make the other person fall in love, or will the other person come of their own free will? The singer is not demanding that the other person be theirs, but they do want a sign that their feelings are reciprocated.
The second half of the song continues to express the singer's desire, but with a sense of urgency. They insist that they can give the other person what they need, but only if they receive a sign that they want the same thing. The bridge could be interpreted as a warning: if the other person doesn't feel the same way, they shouldn't "play with the singer's mind." Instead, they should "give me a sign" either way.
Overall, the song captures the rollercoaster of emotions that come with falling in love with someone who may or may not feel the same way. The singer oscillates between confidence and uncertainty, desire and desperation, hope and fear. It's a relatable and raw portrayal of the human heart.

@paradisebeyond1982
@TheGoldenPS1 It's true that are determines the sound to some extent... most Metal from Germany sounds similar (Warlock, Running Wild, Stormwitch, Noisehunter, etc).
@TheGoldenPS1
@kevindrgn8 How come the majority of bands playing US power metal style were from the Northern East coast in the states and most from New York? Even if Omen/Lizzy Borden/Heretic were from L.A, Crimson Glory/Savatage from Florida, Leatherwolf from California, Vicious Rumors from San Francisco and Sanctuary/Fifth Angel/Metal Church from Seattle Washington. It's like it was the territory for power metal bands. I mean, Liege Lord and Hittman are huge acts but unfortunately overlooked.
