With the release of MANIFEST DESTINY, Mindless Faith delivered one of the strongest and most noteworthy albums of 2000. The CD is a conceptual, thematic soundscape that confronts the social dynamics leading a nation to rampant expansion and imminent collapse. Praised as "...an all out war on your body, mind, and soul" and "worth 10 orgasms," MANIFEST DESTINY received rave reviews in countless online and printed publications, including a 5 out of 5 in Outburn Magazine. Legends Magazine called it, "An infectious, riveting ensemble... a truly insurmountable sound experience!" And Starvox.net exclaimed, "There is no shortage of excellent production quality and sound nor creative style and talent to be found anywhere on this album. I could not possibly begin to sing enough praise to do Mindless Faith the justice they deserve."
Mindless Faith brings this musical excellence to the stage with intense, dynamic live performances - touring the East coast and performing with Spahn Ranch, Pigface, Switchblade Symphony, Flesh Field, Genitorturers, Godhead, Hanzel und Gretyl, Acumen Nation, Bile and many others. Against a backdrop of synchronous, manipulated video and pulsating lights, Mindless Faith hammers out beats on electronic percussion and metal objects, propelling crowds into a frenzy. Infectious keyboards and guitars meld with powerful vocals to complete the aural assault that continuously expands their devoted fanbase.
They appear on over 16 national/international compilations such as The Unquiet Grave V. 3 (Cleopatra), "Nod's Tacklebox o' Fun" (Reconstriction), and in Europe on "Elektrauma V. 5" (Triton Records), New Forms of EBM V. 1 (Bloodline), Cryonica Tanz V.1 (Cryonica). Their music has also been featured in the movie Sex, Death and Eyeliner(from the producers of "The Prophecy" and "Drive"), several independent films, a CD-ROM for Canon, and MTV's "Road Rules" and "Road Rules/Real World Challenge."
Mindless Faith's third full length CD titled "Momentum" was released in 2004 to North America on Metropolis Records and in Europe on Dependent Records, where it debuted at #7 on the DAC - German Alternative Charts! The CD received rave reviews and the band was featured in all the top European magazines covering these styles of music, including being Sonic Seducer's "Band of the Month!"
"Momentum" has also been a favorite in clubs through North America, Europe, and beyond. While the new CD focuses more on the dance floor, it still retains the diversity and songwriting that separate the band from the rest.
Mindless Faith remixed two Nine Inch Nails songs: 'Only' and 'The Hand That Feeds' from the album 'With Teeth'. They won a number of radio remix contests in doing so, and met Trent Reznor as part of the prize, who said their remix was 'better than some I've paid for'.
2007 saw the release of their latest album 'Medication For The Misinformed', which has garnered much critical praise.
About To Break
Mindless Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't feel angry, I just don't feel at all
I could manipulate
I could twist, I could trick
You let me get away with it
All these experiences I've had
Do they only exist in my mind?
Do they reveal? Do they conceal?
It seems we're near the end
Can I see you again? I am afraid
We're so near the end
I've learned so much from you
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
There's no difference between give and take
I saw the world about to explode
And I, myself, was about to break
The lyrics to Mindless Faith's song "About To Break" delve into the singer's emotional turmoil and confusion. They open with a sense of detachment, describing emotions they've never experienced before and a numbness that leaves them unable to feel anger or anything else. The singer reveals that they have the ability to manipulate and deceive, which suggests a level of guilt or remorse. But they also recognize that the other person involved in the situation is complicit, having allowed them to get away with it.
The singer then questions the reality of their experiences, wondering if they exist only in their own mind and whether they reveal or conceal anything. The line "there's no time left to heal" implies a sense of urgency or desperation, and the repeated phrase "we're so near the end" creates a feeling of impending doom. Despite this, the singer expresses a desire to see the other person again, but their fear of what's to come is palpable.
The final lines of the song are particularly striking, as the singer describes an apocalyptic vision of the world about to explode while they themselves are about to break. This suggests a connection between the singer's personal struggles and the larger issues facing humanity, and it leaves the listener with a sense of uncertainty and unease.
