In the beginning of 2000 they booked a local studio and their first demo “Use Your Fist” was recorded. In March 2001 they went back to the studio to record their second demo “Hate And Anger”. The year turned to 2002 and instead of making a third demo they decided to send their latest recording to a bunch of record-labels. Within a week Rage Of Achilles offered the band to release their demo as a vinyl 7”. The deal also contained a release of one full-length album. A Rage Of Achilles compilation album called “Conquest For The Empire” was out in April, featuring Facebreaker among with other new signings on the label. In September Jonas quit the band due to lack of time. Fortunately they knew a guitar-player named Mika and a line-up change took place. Their vinyl single “Hate And Anger” was released in June 2003. In July the band entered Black Lounge Studios to record their first full-length album “Bloodred hell”. “Bloodred Hell” was released in the beginning of 2004.
Consumed
Facebreaker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The line has been crossed, plague has spread
Gathered to eat, they cut through your meat
Razor sharp teeth, moving in for a bite
Consumed by the dead, an unholy rite
Rapturous slaughter, they eat you alive
Brutally butchered, there's no escape
Bodies crawling back from their tombs
Inhale your last breath, the sun will die
Total annihilation, blood sprays the sky
Gathered to eat, they cut through your meat
Razor sharp teeth, moving in for a bite
Consumed by the dead, an unholy rite
Rapturous slaughter, they eat you alive
Brutally butchered, there's no escape
Bodies crawling back from their tombs
Zombies ripping the flesh from your bones
The lyrics of Facebreaker's "Consumed" describe a gruesome scene of zombies rising from their graves to attack and feast on the living. The song almost reads like a horror film script, with the imagery of festering bodies and razor sharp teeth cutting through flesh. The line "the sun will die" adds a sense of finality and doom to the chaos, as if to say that this zombie outbreak is not just a temporary inconvenience, but a true threat to the existence of humanity.
One interpretation of these lyrics could be a commentary on the fear of death and the unknown beyond. The idea of the dead coming back to life and wreaking havoc on the living is a common theme in horror, and it represents a fear of the unknown or the afterlife. The song's description of the zombies' insatiable hunger and merciless slaughter could also be seen as a metaphor for how death itself consumes and destroys life.
Overall, "Consumed" is a brutal and intense song that paints a vivid picture of a zombie apocalypse. While the lyrics are certainly not for the faint of heart, they are a testament to the power of storytelling and imagination in music.
