Famous Last Words, una banda estadounidense de post-hardcore, nació en 2010 en Petoskey, Michigan. Sus fundadores, JT Tollas (voz), Jesse Maddy (guitarra), Craig Simons (batería) y Tyler Myklebust (guitarra), compartían una pasión inigualable por la música. Aunque sus caminos se habían cruzado en distintas bandas y proyectos anteriores, la química entre ellos fue innegable desde el primer momento.
En 2010, la banda lanzó su primer EP titulado ‘In Your Face’. Este trabajo tuvo una aceptación modesta, pero suficiente para ponerlos en el radar de la escena musical alternativa. Con una combinación de letras poderosas, riffs impactantes y una energía abrumadora en sus presentaciones en vivo, Famous Last Words empezaba a hacerse un nombre.
Dos años después, en 2012, la banda firmó con InVogue Records y lanzó su primer disco de larga duración, ‘Two-Faced Charade’. El álbum conceptualmente narraba una intrincada historia de amor y desilusión, y su ambiciosa presentación cautivó tanto a críticos como a fanáticos. Temas como ‘The Show Must Go On’ y ‘My Life Before My Eyes’ se convirtieron en himnos para sus seguidores.
A partir de la publicación de este álbum, Famous Last Words comenzó a atraer la atención a nivel nacional. Su estilo único, que combinaba elementos de teatro con la intensidad del post-hardcore, los distinguió en una industria saturada de bandas similares. Las giras se hicieron más frecuentes y sus presentaciones cada vez más esperadas.
Settle in, won't you all take a seat?
Welcome here to the land of deceased.
You breathe in, you breathe out, it all feels the same.
You feel alive but there's no blood in your veins.
Confess to us the fable of previous life,
In life and in death I'll show you how our souls survive!
Rest, rest in peace dear deceased and tell us all your stories.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
It's hard to make a sound when you're all fallen asleep,
Caught in dream far from reality.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
Cause it's all over now.
Understand, open your eyes and you'll see,
I'm not here to judge you and I'm not here to preach.
My role here is to guide you as we search through your past,
So let's all get started, we're to get her at last!
Each of you left a loved one behind,
How long do you expect them to live on and survive?!
Council of the dead!
Who do you expect will be joining us next?
Live your life without fear of regret,
Cause one you're dead there's no point to lament!
I know this all may be hard to believe,
The sooner you accept it, the sooner you'll see.
Your relativity is buried beneath,
Your deaths are the lock, but your lives are the key!
Rest, rest in peace dear deceased and tell us all your stories.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
It's hard to make a sound when you're all fallen asleep,
Caught in dream far from reality.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
Cause it's all over now.
Everybody, sit and listen, there are some things I thins you should know,
Before your destiny's decided, you must reveal where you come from.
Loved ones and broken hearted you left behind to suffer,
Now you're gone!
Let's hope in life that you provided,
The means to live and carry on.
Tell me now what's more important,
Time in life or time now that you're gone?
Buried you in cemetery,
Above your family surrounds.
Try to scream their name out loud,
But it's hard to make a sound now!
Council of the dead (council of the dead!).
Who do you expect will be joining us next?
Live your life without fear of regret,
Cause one you're dead there's no point to lament!
Rest, rest in peace dear deceased and tell us all your stories.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
It's hard to make a sound when you're all fallen asleep,
Caught in dream far from reality.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
(Cause it's all over now!)
Rest, rest in peace dear deceased and tell us all your stories.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
It's hard to make a sound when you're all fallen asleep,
Caught in dream far from reality.
Scream, shout, let it out (scream, shout, let it out!)
Cause it's all over now.
