Being very determined and yet not limited to any border the musical pulp combined everything from straight hardcore riffs to very technical metal. Still there was always room for acoustic parts and sweet melodies.
The next two albums 23 and VITRIOL were released on Let it burn records. The releases of these two albums were accompanied by two tours through Europe.
The release of the split album with FEAR IS THE PATH TO THE DARK SIDE marked a change in the musical orientation. It was now more than obvious that the journey would go back to the metal roots all members have. From record to record the music grew straighter and more technical. Still the influences are drawn from all different bands though meanwhile the music is much more focused and determined. Although Fear my thoughts style is strongly influenced by thrash and death metal its still cant be reduced to just these two styles. Whether its Patrick`s or Markus guitars that give a special note to the sound or the solid but yet very technical drumming of Norman its not easy to put it into a certain and fitting category. The voice of singer Mathias has changed throughout the time from shrieking screams to a mix between growls, black metal alike screams and singing.
With their Lifeforce debut album THE GREAT COLLAPSE the band was sure to get international recognition and gained a lot of positive feedback. The latest release HELL SWEET HELL finally brought another boost in their career. With very good rankings in ROCKHARD, METALHAMMER, LEGACY and other important magazines even more people got aware of the bands well developed skills. Fear my thoughts meanwhile now perfectly how to combine real, authentic aggression and sweet melodies to a very special mix that knows how to fascinate.
With more than 300 shows played all over Europe Fear my thoughts have furthermore gained a lot of experience and a very solid fan base that is meanwhile located all over the world. Not only their music but their very independent and odd way to answer interviews makes Fear my thoughts a very special and unique act that is going to very far.
Fear My Thoughts disbanded in February 2010 after a farewell show in Lörrach, Germany.

Fear My Thoughts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One fine day I won't give
One fine day I will just be
And then i'm breaking free
I'll leave it all behind
I want to follow that way
But sirens sing
To keep me in this game
Addicted to consumption
A slave of materiality
False suns keep blinding me
To bring me of my way
The bigger my greed is
The narrower the way becomes
And sirens sing
They call my name
To keep me in this game
And sirens scream
Right in my ear
Temptation is so near
One step closer to the end…
Consumption how bitter sweet
Satisfaction can.t be gained
Through the possesion of useless goods
The desire to get and posses increases the fear to lose it all
It paralyses all my action
More and more and more and more
The song "Sirens Singing" by Fear My Thoughts is about the struggle of being caught in a cycle of materialistic consumption and the desire to break free from it. The first stanza talks about the desire to let go of everything and break free from the cycle of consumption. The second stanza is an introspective look at how the obsession with possessing material things can turn into an addiction that blinds the individual from their own path in life. The chorus is an acknowledgment of the power of temptation and how it can lead someone back into the cycle.
The third stanza talks about the bitter sweetness of consumption and how it doesn't bring true satisfaction. The more that is consumed, the more the individual fears losing it all, which can paralyze them and prevent them from taking action. The final line "more and more and more and more" emphasizes the cycle and the obsession with possessing.
Overall, this song portrays the internal struggle of breaking free from the materialistic cycle that society often promotes, and the forces that keep drawing someone back in.
