‘Event Horizon’
Sometimes when an irresistible force meets an immovable object, great things happen & this is one of those occasions. Welcome to I AM I.
MetalTalk.net: "..contained within this album is a myriad of moments of pure genius...ZP and the guys have delivered an album which is dripping with passion, talent and heart"
The formidable driving force behind the band is the renown vocalist ZP Theart. After his departure from Dragonforce in 2010 he worked tirelessly to put together a new project and after searching out an incredibly talented group of musicians, the lineup was completed and the end result was one of the most exciting new bands of 2012, I AM I.
The band's debut album 'Event Horizon' was written and produced by Theart and guitarist Jacob Ziemba and mixed and mastered by Roland Grapow (Helloween/Masterplan) and is a storming blend of melodies and rock, riffs and metal all interlaced with ZP's soaring vocals. Their debut video of the track 'Silent Genocide' taken from the album is the perfect example of all these and it's already proving to be a massive hit worldwide, gaining huge numbers of views in a very short space of time.
Through its collection of tracks of differing mood and tempos, Event Horizon is proving to have an incredibly broad appeal from fans of AOR right through to those into the heavier side of rock and metal, the music stepping through and beyond the boundaries of merely heavy rock. With a large number of eclectic influences within the band, this is the way I AM I intend to continue on as they have no desire to stay purely within one section of rock, they will continue to bring their unique songs infused with all these styles to the fore.
There's no doubt about it, heart, soul and absolutely no limits, I AM I are here to take the world by storm!

I AM I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh how times have changed
Here is something to remember me
You live you don't ever care
All this time I can still recall
Here and now as you watch angels fall
Destiny is all but a friend to me
Lonely nights won't last forever
Once again hit the lights
I can recall the memories
They all slowly fade away
You get consumed by all the things
I am still living day by day
Once again from the dust I came
Twice remain from dust all the same
Hit the lights don't wait forever
Destiny is all but a friend to me
Lonely nights won't last forever
Once again hit the lights
The lyrics to I AM I's song Dust 2 Dust convey a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time. The opening lines, "Now it's the best you've ever had/Oh how times have changed" suggest a personal evolution or significant life changes. The line "Here is something to remember me/You live you don't ever care" could imply a sense of separation or disconnect between the singer and the person they are addressing. The chorus communicates a sense of urgency in moving forward and letting go of the past: "Hit the lights don't wait forever/Destiny is all but a friend to me/Lonely nights won't last forever/Once again hit the lights."
In the second verse, the singer reflects on memories that slowly fade away over time, while they remain "living day by day." The repetition of "once again" emphasizes the cyclical nature of life, and the line "from the dust I came/Twice remain from dust all the same" reflects on death and the idea that we return to the earth. The chorus once again emphasizes the call to action to embrace the present and accept the inevitability of change.
Overall, the lyrics of Dust 2 Dust convey a sense of introspection and the passage of time, with a call to action to embrace the present and let go of the past.
