SMASH INTO PIECES truly makes modern rock, combining the phenomenal vocal and lyrical depth of Chris Adam Hedman Sörbye with the aggressive yet melodic guitar attacks from Benjamin Jennebo and Per Bergquist, and the hard hitting combination of bassist Viktor Vidlund and drummer Isak Snow.
The band reached the semifinal of the Swedish version of “Sweden got talent” in 2009 but dropped out of the competition to sign a record deal with Ninetone Records. Things however really didn’t work out as planned and the collaboration with the label came to a end after just one released single “Fading” – a song still gaining a great deal of attention and airplay, especially from the leading rock radio station Bandit 106.3.
The band picked up superb feedback from their hugely energetic live shows and in a short amount of time the band had the pleasure of sharing stage with among others Dead By April, Twisted Sisters, Teddybears Sthm, Raised Fists, Mustasch, Treat and many more.
Their first full length international album release came in 2013 with Unbreakable. Further headline tours of Sweden, Finland and the other Nordic countries followed along with support tours of the rest of Europe with Amaranthe
The second album The Apocalypse DJ was released in 2015 and another extensive tour cycle continued alongside. For the first time the band were able to complete a full headline Europe wide tour.
The third album is due for release at some point in 2016 but there has been no confirmed date at this point. The band announced that Isak Snow had left the band on 1st April 2016. Most people thinking this was a joke of some sort awaited further news. The band announced on the 6th of April that there was a new drummer that had joined the band. The only name given at this stage has shown that The Apocalypse DJ has descended and joined the band. No other information is known at this stage.
SMASH INTO PIECES is a must – and will definitely thrive in a larger setting – their sound much definitive says arena. Together, their talent and chemistry will not be ignored or denied.

Smash Into Pieces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An animal, is what you find
When you cross the line
And can't decide
What you do with this
And you should've know better
But you cannot get
It's a game of choice
And you soon forget
What you came away
And you should've know better
You should have know much better
Could have known much better
Too much - it's too much
Cause it would be so much better
If you just want to wait
Sorry to say, but I know that you are thinking...
That I'm better than you
I know it's true
Cause I see it in your eyes
And do you think that I'm an animal?
An animal...
I know it's out of place to think I'm another race
You think that I'm an animal
An animal...
U-oh-u
U-oh-u
I'm an animal
An animal...
U-oh-u
U-oh-u
I'm an animal.
Animal - is a state of mind
It's a drug of choice
And will wake you blind
But you're here tonight
And you could've know better
You mind is set
Like your in mood
When you cross the room
You're a living proof
That you're bound to loose
And you should've known better
You should have know much better
Could have known much better
Too much - it's too much
Cause it would be so much better
If you just want to wait
Sorry to say, but I know that you are thinking...
That I'm better than you
I know it's true
Cause I see it in your eyes
And do you think that I'm an animal?
An animal...
I know it's out of place to think I'm another race
You think that I'm an animal
An animal...
U-oh-u
U-oh-u
I'm an animal
An animal...
U-oh-u
U-oh-u
I'm an animal
So what you want
You living a dream
And you don't wanna wake up
Think you know it all
All you ground has been made
But your mind is made up
You think I'm...
Better than you
I know it's true
Cause I see it in your eyes
And do you think that I'm an animal?
An animal...
I know it's out of place to think I'm another race
You think that I'm an animal
An animal...
U-oh-u
U-oh-u
I'm an animal
An animal...
U-oh-u
U-oh-u
I'm an animal
The song "Animal" by Smash Into Pieces seems to be about the dangerous tendencies people exhibit when they give in to their primal desires. The lyrics describe the struggle to resist this temptation, the inevitable consequences of indulgence, and the shame that follows. The line "An animal is what you find when you cross the line and can't decide what you do with this" suggests that crossing the line into your primal nature can be intoxicating but once you succumb to it, you are no longer in control of your actions. The chorus asks, "Do you think that I'm an animal?" implying that the singer is trying to resist their primal urges and be seen as something more than just an animal.
The second verse describes the negative effects of indulging in this animalistic behavior. The line "it's a drug of choice and will make you blind" suggests that giving in to our primal desires is addictive and ultimately leads to destruction. The verse also seems to critique societal expectations of masculinity and success that often lead people to engage in this primal behavior. The line "your mind is set like you're in the mood when you cross the room" implies that this behavior is performed for the benefit of others rather than for oneself. The singer observes that everyone is "bound to lose" if they give in to these expectations and behaviors.
Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary message about the consequences of allowing our primal nature to take over. The lyrics emphasize the importance of recognizing that we have a choice in our actions and that we should strive to be something more than just animals.
Line by Line Meaning
An animal, is what you find
When you cross the line
And can't decide
What you do with this
And you should've know better
Making bad choices when you're uncertain of what to do is like unleashing your inner animal, and you should have known better.
Your wise and dress
But you cannot get
It's a game of choice
And you soon forget
What you came away
And you should've know better
Even though you may look the part and have a good head on your shoulders, you can still make the wrong choices when you forget what you're really after, and you should have known better.
That I'm better than you
I know it's true
Cause I see it in your eyes
And do you think that I'm an animal?
An animal...
I know it's out of place to think I'm another race
You think that I'm an animal
An animal...
You can tell that you feel inferior to me just by looking at you, and you might even think that I'm somehow different from you, an animal perhaps...
Animal - is a state of mind
It's a drug of choice
And will wake you blind
But you're here tonight
And you could've know better
Being an animal is like being in a drug-induced haze, which can keep you from making good choices, but you're here now and you should've known better.
You mind is set
Like your in mood
When you cross the room
You're a living proof
That you're bound to loose
And you should've known better
Even though your mind is made up and you feel confident, the way you present yourself is proof that you're headed for failure, and you should have known better.
So what you want
You living a dream
And you don't wanna wake up
Think you know it all
All you ground has been made
But your mind is made up
You think I'm...
You're living in a dream world and don't want to face the reality that you might be wrong, but your stubbornness has led you to believe that you're superior to me...
