Being formed by Jesse, Samuli and Pertti along Henry and Dani, Medicated composed their first own thrash-technical songs, played a couple of gigs and released a self-titled promo 2006.
After the first release it was time for Medicated to step it up. Line-up changes were made. Things took up a notch when Aleksi (Imperanon) took over the mic-stand and Jani took over the bass duties. Medicated was reborn - tougher than ever.
Aleksi Sihvonen - Vocals
Samuli Hyttinen - Guitars
Jesse Soiletsalo - Guitars
Jani Kinnunen - Bass
Pertti PĂ€tsi - Drums
New songs were written, rehearsed and played live across the southern Finland. In fall 2007 it was time to start the ambitious recording of the second release called "Magnum for Amen". Lots of technical and schedule-problems occurred, and because of this it took a year to finish the process. But the result speaks for itself.
Just before release, the band got endorsed by TC Electronics and Schecter guitars - to support their way towards record deal and spreading their testament throughout the world. Also, during the recordings, two friends of the band wanted to have a guest appearance on the promo. Mr. Crab (Bleak, Dimebag Beyond Forever, Guitar Heroes) nailed the solo to "Scream for God" and Aleksi Virta (Finntroll) composed keyboards to the songs.
Now Medicated has stepped on the road of big potential with the mixture of aggression and melody. There will be no intentions to stop here but drive to squeeze out all the ambition, skill and emotion into the future releases and gigs.

I Will Fall
Medicated Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm falling through, my life's overdue
I will fall (I will fall again)
I'll fail you all
I don't share the belief that what you'll get is what I'll lose, inch by inch
I will carry all this load until I will break down and crumble in ruins
Will you confront and withstand
Or will you break up and fall down
Have you crumbled in your ruins
Have you fallen into pieces
Have you crawled inside my skin
I have you slithered into my mind
It's hard to breathe here underneath all this weight, complete deceit my defeat
All will decay
When I fall, I'll fail you all
I'm falling through, my life's overdue
I will fall
I'll fail you all
I will fall
I will fail
Have you crumbled in your ruins
Have you fallen into pieces
Have you crawled inside my skin
I have you slithered into my mind
The lyrics to Medicated's song "I Will Fall" describe a sense of impending failure and the weight of carrying that burden alone. The singer anticipates falling and failing, and laments the fact that they will let down those around them. The lines "It's hard to breathe here underneath all this weight, complete deceit my defeat / All will decay" suggest that the pressure is becoming too much to bear and that the singer is losing hope.
The second half of the song shifts to a more confrontational tone as the singer challenges the listener to consider their own resilience in the face of adversity. They describe the experience of "crumbling in ruins" and "falling into pieces" and ask if the listener has ever "crawled inside" their own struggles. The lyrics "Because I have seen with my own eyes when the unbreakable comes crashing down / Will you confront and withstand / Or will you break up and fall down" suggest that the singer has witnessed others' failures and wonders how they themselves would respond in a similar situation.
Overall, "I Will Fall" is a song about the weight of pressure and the fear of failure. The singer is struggling to keep going, and wonders if those around them would be able to do any better if they were in the same situation. It's a poignant message about the importance of resilience and perseverance, even when everything feels impossible.
