The band consists of vocalist Roberth Karlsson, guitarists Mika Lagrén and Janne Ivarsson, basist and backing vocalist Jonas Magnusson and drummer Mikael Wassholm. Facebreaker started as an idea of a straight-forward metal act and in the autumn of 1999 the band began rehearsing. Jonas came to join the band after stopping by a rehearsal-session.

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.

The Awakening
Facebreaker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

A hopeless end, the dark closes in
Flower from hell, the dead will return
The gates are open, a final assault
Demons arise, the mortals will burn

Hounds of hell, an army of doom
No mercy shown, a pure killing spree
Pitch black eyes, in search for your flesh

Unholy butchers, pure evil will set me free

The awakening of the dead
The awakening of the dead

An endless night, the end of our world
There is no future, all will be dead
Human flesh, torn apart
Satanic slaughters, in rivers of red

The end is here, it's time to die
Guts and gore, torture and pain
Blood will ber spilled, skulls will be crushed
Bloodthirsty zombies, will feed on your brain

Rising from the darkness, legions of the dead
Rotten human bodies, waiting to get fed

The awakening of the dead
The awakening of the dead

They rise

Overall Meaning

from their graves, with nothing to lose
A hunger for blood, an insatiable fuse
The world will tremble, beneath their feet
No one is safe, from this walking meat

These lyrics are from the song "The Awakening" by Swedish death metal band, Facebreaker. The lyrics depict a world ravaged by the apocalypse where the dead have risen and are now attacking the living. Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the gory and violent nature of this post-apocalyptic world where demons and zombies are on the rampage. The song's chorus, "The awakening of the dead," emphasizes the theme of the dead coming back to life and signals the end of the world as we know it.
