Take shots at it all you want, but the one thing about anthemic hard rock is that it never goes out of style. Heavy music nowadays has come pretty far since the hazy sunset days of Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Priest, and more recently the indelible wave of 80’s arena rock, but that doesn’t mean there won’t always be roads leading back to it.
Having recently released their debut full-length “Face Your Demons,” Montreal’s latest modern, hard rock sensations What Comes To Life have been on tour all summer in the U.S. and intend to stay on the road until their van breaks down or zombies devour its human contents somewhere
in the Midwest. This never-stop-touring-or-die-trying attitude is one thing among others that sets What Comes To Life apart from other bands in their city.
“We need to be on the road as much as possible and not have anything interfering,” asserts founding bassist Preston Ward; “One of the main goals of this band is to be dynamic and continually pushing forward so we don’t end up a one trick pony.” While critics and pantywastes will argue that it’s all been done before, there’s no place in true rock’n’roll for jaded hearts. And What Comes To Life are everything but that.
Growing up as close friends, each member performed in separate and at times competing bands, until two years ago the stars aligned and the current incarnation of the band was officially born. Formerly named Endeavors and leaning towards metal as opposed to hard rock, the lineup experienced numerous shifts until the addition of Nick (drums), which completed the circle.
Since then, What Comes To Life has released the bombastic, Kevin Jardine-produced LP “Face Your Demons,” which sees the band honing their studio and live sound to include piano and string sections, as well as gang vocals, which has led to a more sophisticated record than most could expect from the young band.
Detailing what makes the band tick, Ward says the band “Sets out to make great music, honour our brotherhood, and believe in ourselves as a team.” With the saturation of same-sounding acts in heavy music regardless of the subgenre, his band strives “to avoid falling into any trends,
and instead creating our own path in the music world.” This goes for not only their tight brand of aggressive hard rock with powerful choruses, but also their work ethic on the road, which is beginning to be well-documented. Well-received performances in support of international touring acts such as Firewind, Powerglove, and Molotov Solution, and a current tour across the entire U.S. with Stardog Champion, shows these guys have thick skin and aren’t afraid to put it to the test.
Ecstasy
What Comes to Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't resist
Taste of Love
One more time
I break the reigns
That holds your heart
Your innocence faiding and dark
Bit I wont wait another day
With all the things that you do
By the grace of your head bring me all you did
We can live we can die never far behind
We save this life
Finally find our way back home tonight
The taste of blood
Designed this game
To sell your soul
Or watch you scream
I fantisised within your hands
And withered down under your stem
With all these things that you do
By the grace of your head bring me all you did
We can live we can die never far behind
We save this life
Finally find our way back home tonight
Boys again
Cant resist
Taste of blood
One more time
Solo
I'm holding on to you
By the grace of your head bring me all you did
We can live we can die never far behind
We save this life
Finally find our way back home tonight
And finaly find our way back home tonigh
And finaly find our way back home tonight
The lyrics of "Ecstasy" by What Comes to Life describe a tumultuous and destructive relationship. The singer is unable to resist the taste of love but acknowledges that it is a game designed to sell one's soul or watch their partner scream. The relationship is suffocating, as the singer breaks the reins that hold their partner's heart, and their innocence is fading and dark. The singer is holding onto their partner despite the misery and fantasizing under their hands while withering under their stem. This relationship is clearly unhealthy and potentially dangerous, and the singer knows they should break free, but they can't resist the taste of love.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation to leave the flawed relationship and finally find their way back home tonight. The references to blood suggest that the relationship is not just emotionally, but also physically draining. The solo in the middle of the song represents the singer taking a moment to reflect on their situation and perhaps coming to the realization that it is time to move on.
In conclusion, "Ecstasy" is a song about a toxic relationship, emphasizing the tension, violence, and emotional scars left on the participants. While the lyrics are heavy, the song's catchy melody and energetic instrumental give the impression of an addictive quality that pulls both partners back into the unhealthy bond.
