The band started with 5 people in the line up. Andreas Larsson on vocals, Fredrik Hammar on bass, Uno Eriksson on drums and Dennis and David Janglöv on guitar. Twins Crew consist of 6 members today, Nicko Dimarino joined the band on keyboard in 2013.
The goal was to start a band which would have all the classic Heavy Metal elements from band such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Stratovarious and show the true face of the Heavy/ Power Metal genre.
Two EPs was recorded during 2008 ( Twins Crew) to 2009 ( Twin demon) but it wasn't until we released our first full album we found our true sound.
The Recording of our first album "Judgement Night" took place in July 2010 in Deep Blue studio Nyköping, Sweden. The album was recorded during a of four weeks period and engineered by Nicko DiMarino who also recorded with band such as Steelwing and Malison Rogue.
The album’s artwork is designed by Carl-André Beckston at Beckston Media Arts (EDGUY, House of Lords, TNT) and mastered by Mike Lind at Masterplant (Body Count, DIO, The Poodles).
Judgement Night received great reviews worldwide and was picked “album of the month” by several webzines and magazines.
Twins Crew made our first tour outside Sweden in 2009 in Germany and Austria. The tour was successful and they made a lot of new fans in the area. The Band has also supported the Japanese band Loudness, MILLION, Paul Dianno and was invited to play the largest indoor Heavy Metal festival in Sweden, House of Metal in 2011.
In November 2012 we went into the studio to start recording our 2nd album "The Northern crusade".
This album was also recorded in Deep Blue studios and the same people was involved in the making as the previous album.
Nicko Dimarino who previously have played with bands such as Sabaton etc joined the band shortly after the recording session was done. Nicko has been involved with the band from the start since he made all the keyboard parts on all of our albums so it was a natural step for the band.
Twins Crew signed a record deal with the Italian record label "Scarlet Records" in the beginning of 2013 for the release of their second album. The release of the album is set to July 31..
Twins Crew believes that the New Testament in the book of heavy metal is yet to be written and we would be loud and proud to be a part of it.
Blade
Twins Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sharpens the edge of the blind
Caught tight in the raven claws
There can be only one states the law
Trapped inside this vessel of pain
Trust no one outside the lane
The last man must be standing strong
Stranger and stranger
Lies this world before me
Caught in a timeless spin of misery
I got to break the holy blade
I got to trap the rage you see
My destiny can't wait forever
I got to break the holy blade
I got to trap the rage you see
My destiny can't wait forever
Faith has got me closer to death
At the end you know we share the same breath
A token of love vanished in the air
The end is near I cry in despair
I wield my blade of perfect steel
I know the final stand will be here
There's a chance I'll be losing my head
If I do the world you know will be damned
Stranger and stranger
Lies this world before me
Caught in a timeless spin of misery
I got to break the holy blade
I got to trap the rage you see
My destiny can't wait forever
I got to break the holy blade
I got to trap the rage you see
My destiny can't wait forever
The lyrics to Twins Crew's "Blade" is filled with references to battles, pain, and the ultimate sacrifice. The opening lines, "Swords of blinding razor light, Sharpens the edge of the blind," seems to suggest that the weapons that are being used are not only physically sharp but also metaphorically dangerous. The singer seems to be caught in a dangerous world where danger lurks around every corner, and the only way to survive is by being on guard at all times.
The lines "Trapped inside this vessel of pain, Trust no one outside the lane" imply that the singer is in a state of constant pain, and to trust anyone outside of his or her confined space would be foolish. The singer knows that to survive, he or she must be the last one standing. The lines "Without a savior, the world will be gone" suggest that the singer is fighting for something larger than himself or herself. The stakes are high, and the world's survival hangs on the outcome of the singer's battle.
The theme of sacrifice is evident in lines like "Faith has got me closer to death, At the end, you know we share the same breath." The singer realizes that the fight may ultimately end in his or her death, but the fight must be fought nonetheless. The lines "I got to break the holy blade, I got to trap the rage you see, My destiny can't wait forever" imply that the singer realizes the importance of the battle and that he or she must do everything they can to end it, no matter the cost.
Overall, the song "Blade" seems to be about a battle for survival where one must sacrifice everything to come out on top. The stakes are high, and the singer realizes that the world's survival is at stake.
