In late summer 2001, JUST WENT BLACK started as a five piece hardcore band in Hamburg, northern Germany, and quickly recorded a first four-song demo tape in January 2002. The demo received quite some positive attention, and the band started playing shows around Germany in March 2002.
After a couple of shows throughout summer, the band came to a sudden stop and broke up in September 2002 due to internal difficulties. But some band members felt that the bands time wasn't over yet, and so they reformed JWB in spring 2003 with a new line-up and new songs. But after a single show, the band had to reorganize once more: Two members quit and two new ones were quickly found, forming the band's present line-up.
With the now solid line-up, JWB recorded five songs in July 2003 for their first seven inch record titled "Balancing Reasons in an Unbalanced World", released in fall 2003 by Assault Records, a DIY hardcore label from Bremen, Germany. A first tour in September took them all around Germany and Austria supporting this debut release.
Over the next one and a half years, JWB continued playing shows all around Europe. In fall 2004, a second European tour followed and they played in countries like Slovakia, Hungary and Sweden. After this tour, JWB retired to their rehearsal room to complete the songs for their debut LP.
In early 2005, JWB recorded 11 tracks for this first full length record, called „Tides“. The record shows how JWB have built on their very own distinctive sound over the two years since the release of „Balancing Reasons“; they have matured considerably and evolved musically. The record was released by New Age Records (CD version) and Assault Records (LP version) in fall of 2005. In support of this record, JWB debarked on their third European tour, this time heading south to countries like France, Spain and Portugal.
In July 2006, JWB hit the road once more and toured all around Europe, this time together with their partners in crime from Portugal, DAY OF THE DEAD.
Spring 2007 brings a new JWB record, titled “Embracing Emptiness”. It’s a 6-Song 10”/CD-EP. Vinyl will again be released by Assault Records, the CD Version will be split up between Blacktop Records (European Version) and New Age Records (US Version). The new material shows the band taking the next step turn in redefining its very own sound. The songs are more hard-hitting than the “Tides” material, while maintaining the same dark vibe and melodies.

Just Went Black Lyrics

with his sunken eyes.
the world goes by.
he lost it all.
the saviours, they were promised.
but they never, never came by.
no one ever took a second for an excuse.
no one.
his voice is troubled with the memories of yesterday.
an empty stare clouded by the options of what his life could have been.
he tells the stories that no one wants to hear anymore.
the white walls are screaming, he can't stand the noise.
the white walls are screaming, he can't listen anymore.
the white walls are screaming.
the white walls are screaming.
years have passed him by.
carried his health away.
The song "White Noise" by Just Went Black is a powerful commentary on the dark, lonely side of modern society. The lyrics speak of a person who has lost all faith in a world that seems to have left him behind. The singer of the song, with his sunken eyes, stands by as the world goes by, feeling disconnected and isolated.
The saviours that he hoped would come never materialized, and nobody cared enough to listen or help. His voice is troubled by the memories of yesterday, filled with regret and the what-ifs of a different life. He tells stories that nobody wants to hear anymore, and the white walls that surround him are screaming in agony, too loud for him to bear.
The song draws attention to the harsh reality of living in a society that values productivity and success above all else, leaving many behind who do not fit into the mold. "White Noise" paints a bleak picture of a person who has lost all hope and can no longer stand the noise of a world that does not care.

To everyone who's studying with this music:
Checklist:
• A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate💧
• Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time🔋
• Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone🎧
• a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.☕
• Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.⌨
•Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy 🐈
Reminder:After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me.
You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book.
I hope y'all had a good day, if not, that's okay too. Remember to take care of yourself and try to get some sleep tonight 😴🧸
