Consequent varied compositions for all open minded Metalheads enfolded in a superstrong sound.
(Legacy) A band without a record deal, but one of three winners of VIVA's battle of the bands contest. Their current CD will probably change this situation soon. (Heavy World)
Metalfusion is what this quintet from Berlin calls their style. The melodic Metalcore-borrowings reveal, why ORPHAN HATE thought of this broad term for their music. There is a whole lot of potential within this band. These kids are showing a technically excellent performance, taking this intensive Death Metal to a higher level.
They recently signed to Plainsong Records and will release their debut full-length CD "Blinded by Illusions" on May 16.
Under The Sun
Orphan Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Exploit the weak to take a swim A beautiful daughter
The Vender of death
Freedom denied No black and white
Peace gone bust Painted grey
Makes your world so possible – cause silence (is) no gun It’s in your hands, you’re all alone
Another split another war Hear them speak and make them one ‘cause silence – no gun
Under the holy sun On the darkest day Educated for more You gave me a smile A weapon to draw
Redefine the good and wealthy
To maculated honor
Orphan Hate's song "Under the Sun" speaks about the exploitation of the weak by those who redefine the meaning of good and wealthy. The lyrics convey the message that the wealthy take advantage of the disadvantaged to swim in their own success. The line, "exploit the weak to take a swim," is an excellent depiction of how the powerful and wealthy manipulate the underprivileged to achieve their financial goals. The lyrics also mention a beautiful daughter and the vender of death, which imitate the lifestyles of the wealthy who can overlook tragedies as long as they're comfortable.
The chorus of the song interconnects the idea of oppression and silence being as powerful as weaponry - "another shot they'll always take makes your world so possible - cause silence (is) no gun. It's in your hands, you're all alone. Another split another war hear them speak and make them one 'cause silence - no gun." The bridge of the song combines an evident contrast of darkness and light, violence and peace. The lyrics, "Under the holy sun on the darkest day, educated for more, you gave me a smile, a weapon to draw," talk about the concept of a smile being a powerful weapon to use against darkness.
