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 ↴
You think your life is over now
It's nothing but a bad, bad dream
Afraid to lose it all somehow
And you don't know what it means
There's no telling how it all will end up now
But you can't quit now
If you wanna take it higher
You will set your mind on fire
When the heart is burning and you feel like turning, light up, light it up
If you wanna take it higher
You will set your mind on fire
Drowning your devotion deeper than the ocean, light up, light it up
And take it
And take it
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
You think your life's a waste of time
Tick tock then you fall behind
Try to live while you're alive
Nothing is holding you down
There's no given how we all should live our lives
But you can't quit now when you're gonna feel it just keep the dream alive
If you wanna take it higher
You will set your mind on fire
When the heart is burning and you feel like turning, light up, light up
If you wanna take it higher
You will set your mind on fire
Drowning your devotion deeper than the ocean, light up, light up
And take it
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
Take it higher
There is something else, always on your mind always on the line this life
It's not always what you want it to be
But you, got what it takes
There's a voice in your head sayin' it's just pretend
There's a choice and it's all up to you, where you go

@alexross915
when i see the visuals (mostly the building in the background) all i can think is
#1: that build is HUGE and at least covers multiple blocks (from what i can see anyway, i know we're only seeing the very top of the tower from where the cameras POV) in whatever city this takes place
#2: windows seem pretty sparse for the building's size (hope you like artificial light during your dayshift)
#3: that building must have one pretty complex and big elevator system and must have many elevators (god forbid you have to take the stairs because an elevators broke or somehow went out of commission)
#4 everyone in that building must be freaked out or somewhat scared due to the floating anomaly outside their complex
#5 what is this building for? is it a research center, or maybe just an (very sizable) office building? who knows
