1. A five piece thrash / death metal band from Vancouver, British Columbia.
2. A five piece rock band from Hartford, Connecticut.
1. TENET is a heavy metal band formed as a side project by Jed Simon and Gene Hoglan of Strapping Young Lad and Zimmers Hole. They originally started out in the summer of 1996 for Jed Simon, founder of the band. Together with Steve Wheeler (Zimmer's Hole drummer at the time), they started getting Jed's ideas down to demo-tape form, but while both continued along with Zimmer's Hole and Strapping Young Lad, nothing much happened for Tenet apart from some casual jam-sessions, which among others also included players like Stu Carruthers (Grip Inc.). Jed then initially met guitar-partner Glen Alvelais (ex-Forbidden) way back in 1997 when SYL was touring with Testament, for who Glen was playing guitar at the time. After quickly becoming friends, Jed eventually asked Glen if he would be interested in playing together in Tenet and long years later when they re-connected, Glen’s first question was “Whatever happened to that album we were gonna record ?”. They laughed and Jed said “Soon, are you still into it ?” His response was “FUCK YEAH!”
After signing a deal with Century Media Records Jed started out working on “Sovereign” with bassist Byron Stroud (SYL, Zimmer's Hole, Fear Factory) as well as drummer Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates, The Haunted, Cradle Of Filth, Paradise Lost, etc.), but after reviewing the fact that not enough attention could be given to the project by Adrian due to the immense geographical distance and other pending commitments, Jed turned back to his long-time partner in Gene Hoglan (Death, Dark Angel, SYL, Devin Townsend, ...) to take care of the final drum duties. Tenet was still looking for a vocalist though and after a few auditions were done, Steve “Zetro” Souza (Legacy / Exodus) turned out to be the perfect man for the album, as he instantly gave the band that 'classic' metal feel that Jed was looking for. Jed quickly flew to the Bay Area twice to first oversee a very smooth vocal recording with Zetro and then later on to mix the album with Vincent Wojno (Machine Head, Kreator, Trouble, ...). Finally, Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Opeth, Arch Enemy, ...) was recommended for the mastering of “Sovereign” and the album’s artwork comes courtesy of Travis Smith (Opeth, Death, Nevermore).
2. Tenet is an original five-man band based out of Hartford, Connecticut. Their sound covers a plethora of musical genre’s ranging from pop rock to funk jam. They have been compared to styles in the vain of Matchbox 20, 311, and Maroon 5, with vocals diversifying soulful, raspy emotion. Tenet strives to set themselves aside from the rest by generating an artistic sound that people can relate to on the most personal of levels. Furthermore, they will stop at nothing to share their music with the world.

Tenet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our star of the stars
A dark secret lies inside
Some are awaiting the secret to be told
But unknowing of what they already know
Some already know and
Some will never know
Some already know
It, it was a
It was a suicide
It was a suicide
It was a suicide
It was a suicide
Take three deep breaths
Take three deep breaths
Three deep breaths
The lyrics to Tenet's song "Will it to Be" delve into themes of hidden knowledge, secrets, and the paradoxical nature of truth. The opening lines, "In the sun, our star of the stars, a dark secret lies inside," suggest that there is something hidden within the brightness and warmth of the sun, symbolizing an unseen truth or knowledge. The next line, "Some are awaiting the secret to be told, but unknowing of what they already know," shows that despite their anticipation, the truth is already known to some, yet remains elusive to others who are oblivious to their understanding.
The repetition of "Some already know" emphasizes the contrasting levels of awareness among individuals. It suggests that certain people possess the knowledge, while others remain ignorant or blissfully unaware. The lyrics further imply that truth can be subjective and elusive, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue.
The repeated phrase, "It was a suicide," adds a chilling and unexpected element to the song. This phrase could be interpreted in various ways; it may refer to the act of taking one's own life, or it could symbolize the intentional destruction or self-sabotage of a certain truth or secret. The repetition of the phrase suggests that this event or action is significant and deeply resonates with the theme of hidden knowledge previously explored in the song.
Overall, "Will it to Be" explores themes of hidden truths, varying levels of awareness, and the paradoxical nature of knowledge. It delves into the idea that some individuals possess certain understandings while others remain in ignorance. The repeated phrase "It was a suicide" adds an eerie and thought-provoking layer to the song, inviting listeners to contemplate its multiple meanings.

I loved the Ost and the fact this isnt cgi crap(plane scene, carchase scene is Oscar worthy probably the first? Ever Oscar for a stuntman ( imagine this ❤️)
Im a C. Nolan fan because his movies can be watched dozen of times and I still see details like the red little detail(I really don't want to spread spoilers)
And I love this

This movie was surprisingly easy to follow if you're an avid Doctor Who fan, especially with the odd 11th Doctor and River Song romance.
River Song is from his future but she travels from his future to his past. She's born in his future, gets kidnapped by these beings that can mess with time.
Everytime she meets him, he is meeting a last version of her. He goes forward, she goes backward.
Because of their dysfunctional relationship, they explained how the time travel essentially worked.
I also remember reading how, if you want to time travel, you could only travel through fixed points in time, because you would need to create a starting point.
I had the advantage of knowing and understanding the film halfway through because I'm a sci-fi nerd 😂

I appreciate Nolan as much as anyone... But this one was a flop and a mess.
Think through catching the inverted bullets for a second here, really think them through. The first one we see is at the opera. At what point does the bullet hole appear in order for the bullet to get "caught" out of it. Has it always been there? If so why hasn't someone noticed the bullet hole in the opera house? Why haven't they fixed it? In order to "catch the bullet" there has to be an inverted shell casing laying on the ground near by. Why does no one notice all the random shell casings? Do the shell casings just appear before the gun fight? Or has someone cleaned them away and they jump out of the bin and roll backwards towards the gun fight? How do you even send an inverted bullet back? They need to be sent back as a bullet and a casing with the bullet imbeded in the spot you catch them from, but that spot isn't in a turnstile.
Or how about when he's driving around with a broken mirror that gets fixed by the inverted car. How long has the mirror been broken? When did it break in order to be fixed? Does it break just before the car chase? If not has the car been driving around with a broken mirror? Did they manufacture it with a broken mirror in order for it to be unbroken during the inverted car chase?
Visually it's a great movie. Logic wise, it's a failure. Even story wise. If she kills him on the boat why is he around later in the time line to meet the protagonist? It can't be the future version gone back in time that she kills because future Sator would know that he failed because the bomb went off and the world didn't end. But it was some version of him because she saw the future version of herself diving into the water after she killed him. If future Cat is there, and kills him, then does that mean there's two versions of her in that time line or does her past self live out the time line she's just been through in order to be the one that dives in the water? But then if she's living in a continual loop her future self has killed her husband so why the heck is Sator still alive for the rest of the movie?
Did you notice the conversations continuing but moving locations... Or even countries? Did they stop the conversation and then resume it in the new country? Does that mean they changed the subject in between places or do they just not say anything until they get to the new location.
This had the potential to be really good. It's just a hot mess any which way you think it through, and even if it's Nolan's "style" he's just gotten way out of control. The only way the movie remotely works is if you follow the doctors advice and don't think about it.

In the airport scene forward stabs reverse and effect of it continues to the future but if he had shot reverse instead of stab the effect would be totally different and what causes this difference in effect of stab and shot even though bullet and knife moves forward through the body

I think Nolan is a mad man for even coming up this whole concept. I would've loved to be in the room where Nolan explains it to everyone lol

I don’t think it’s the concept that is mad. It’s the fact he could actually execute it and execute it well.
