Splicing the mosh pit and the dance floor, this wrecking machine originally from New York known as KLANK released their debut album "Still Suffering" on the Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records in 1996. Breaking musical boundaries with a sound described as 'dancy, aggressive, electronically infused groove', KLANK spent 18 weeks on the CMJ Top 40 charts and their monster single "Downside" which was added to over 170 radio stations nationwide. KLANK gained an immense amount of attention and notoriety while forming a strong, loyal fan base with their constant touring and growing reputation for intense live shows.

KLANK then made their mark once again with their sophomore release "Numb" which included the crushing single "Blind" which again made it into the top 40 on the CMJ charts. A video was also filmed for "Blind" which become a regular fixture on the Much Music channel.

Following Numb, KLANK appeared on several compilations which included their version of “I’ll Wait” to the “Running with the Devil - a Tribute to Van Halen ” release.

KLANK consists of Daren "Klank" Diolosa (Circle Of Dust) on vocals, guitars, Pat Servedio on guitar, keys, programming and production, and Eric Wilkins on drums. When asked to summarize KLANK’s music and lyrical direction, Diolosa has explained that, “Writing music is a form of therapy that helps to release bottled up frustrations and emotions that otherwise have no outlet… We write music that we feel comes from deep down inside and a lot of people can relate because it’s based on real life situations and emotions from living our everyday life… From mood swings, bitterness, the longing for inner peace to elements of hope, happiness & even despair. We all have to deal with these in our lives and this is our way to vent those issues… We call it 'sonic therapy'.”

After the release of NUMB, Diolosa contributed vocals to the song “Silhouette Of Rage” found on Argyle Park’s “Suspension of Disbelief” release.

In 2007 the band released the “In Memory Of…” EP which featured the trademark KLANK sound of layers of guitars, keyboards, samples, thumping bass, live and programmed drums fused with melodic, deep heartfelt introspective lyrics. "In Memory Of…" containes the song "EXPN2Day", which the band had written, by request of ESPN specifically for their extreme sports and music show called "EXPN2Day"

On April 20, 2010 KLANK unleashed their "NUMB...Reborn" release which contains 15 tracks of the classic KLANK sound. Songs like Don't Count Me Out, Blind, D.F.L. and The Rules tip the scales of heaviness, while songs like Broken, God? and So Very Real lets the bands melodic side shine through in full form.

KLANK's latest offering titled "URBAN WARFARE" was released on June 12, 2012 and is being hailed not only as the bands best but also their strongest release to date. Complete with a guest appearance by Dug Pinnick from KING's X, this new cd really packs a punch. Urban Warfare contains 14 blistering brand new tracks and was mastered by renowned audio wizard Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, CA. "We wanted to put out a CD that fully captures the live essence and intensity of what KLANK is live and we couldn't be happier with the result", explains Diolosa.

On March 27, 2013, KLANK hit number one in the Reverbnation metal charts for San Jose and has been residing there since. As of August 1, 2013 they even made it to the number six slot in the Reverbnation NATIONAL metal charts.

See for yourself how KLANK mesh the aggression and pounce of metal with the infectious drive of the dance floor and intertwines it within a foreground of synths, samples, loops and low end to form a truly unique sound all their own.

Animosity
Klank Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why must we suffer in this life we live in?
Press forward for nothing
Destruction we gain
Endless confusion
Led by the system
Lets us lay helpless
In torment and pain
When will it end

I hate this world and all it has to offer
If I had a choice, I'd rather be dead
So much for crying

This dark world, Misleading
The utmost of hatred to this world, I show

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klank's song "Animosity" capture the frustration, hopelessness and anger that one feels towards the world and its systems. The opening line, "Why must we suffer in this life we live in?" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer questions the purpose of living in a world that does not seem to offer any hope or progress. "Press forward for nothing, destruction we gain" implies that even when one tries to make progress, it leads to further destruction and chaos.

The following lines speak about the confusion and hopelessness people feel, being led by the systems in place. We feel helpless, unable to make any significant changes, and that leads to torment and pain. The repeated phrase "When will it end?" implies that even though people are living every day, they are tired of navigating through a world that seems to offer no solutions. The singer's hatred towards the world is palpable in the line," I hate this world and all it has to offer". They would rather be dead than continue living in this world.

Ultimately, the song speaks to the utter animosity and contempt the singer feels for the world. The feelings of being misled and constantly let down result in the utmost hatred towards the world.

Line by Line Meaning

Why must we suffer in this life we live in?
Questioning the reason for the suffering that we endure in this existence

Press forward for nothing
Continuing to struggle without purpose or meaning

Destruction we gain
Causing harm and ruin to ourselves and others

Endless confusion
Living in a constant state of perplexity and uncertainty

Led by the system
Being controlled by a larger authority or government

Lets us lay helpless
Leaving us vulnerable and powerless to the situation at hand

In torment and pain
Suffering and enduring agony

When will it end
Questioning when the suffering and pain will cease

I hate this world and all it has to offer
Feeling intense dislike and disgust towards the world and its offerings

If I had a choice, I'd rather be dead
Preferring death over the continuation of this existence

So much for crying
Feeling that crying and expressing emotions is futile
