Storming from Germany to England, to Hungary, to Denmark- Koroded quickly captured the hearts of new and old fans alike with their honesty, energetic and uncomprimising Live Shows. After countless headliner shows and touring with the likes of STUCK MOJO, DOWNSET and CROWBAR, the end of 2005 brought a upheaval of Line Up changes. Cologne based guitar player Frank Fleckenstein joined KORODED, which proved to be a great addition not only to the music and the creative process, but also for the spirit and intensity in the band. Shortly after, KORODED split with bass-player Rainer Classen, leaving not only the future of KORODED in question- but also all the members having various personal conflicts come to a head all at once. Especially singer Jan Röders life turned upside down when his relationship fell apart, leaving him wondering not only the fate of his band, but also plaguing him with nightmares about a relationship turned to dust in a wink of an eye. Still, none of this could hold KORODED back, so with their stomachs full with anger, the guys dug down in the dirt and started to write the songs that would become their 2nd full length album and best by far: "TO HAVE AND TO UNHOLD. On the one hand, the new album sounds more heavy, rough, dark, brutal and emotional than their previous offering, but also more thought out and much better structured. Songs like Zero Minus Zero, Embers and Unhold are proof of this development and show exactly what KORODED are made of. The superb production of friend, colleague and drinking partner Jacob Bredahl, singer of the almighty HATESPHERE, gave KORODED a thundering sound that can compete with some of the best international productions today. With "TO HAVE AN TO UNHOLD, KORODED rely on their strengths and what they know best: no eyeliner, no hype, no over the top slogans or sales pitches- just honest hard rocking metal songs from the stomach, just what you would expect from KORODED. KORODED will be hitting the road for some shows with DEADSOIL and MACHINEMADE GOD in February!!!!

Embers
Koroded Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My friend of shiny years
All the time begging me to leave
Koroded Erased from my memories
Can I miss what I don't remember
Embers Kept me warm while life got colder
Pain inside is growing older
E Stole into our lives
Slow motion suicide
With bloodshot eyes
I watch that sweet thing die... stole into our lives
Slow motion suicide
Without you life is nothing
With you my life was hell... question drag me down
Lyrics All and none of the answers I found
Lurking in the past
Lyric Now become alive
Shadows grasp
Breathing in these evil spirits
Deep down where it cannot be killed
Liedertexte Desperate eyes are looking back at me
As I turn back on my love
Liedertext Still I have a heart and so I let it bleed
Alle Like I never did before
The embers burn inside me and you... I got to save myself from drowning in a lake of sorrow
Koroded Tearing our world apart feels like inhaling dark cold water
It makes it much harder to take




Embers You are still here but you are gone without a trace
E And you are never coming back...
