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.
Well welcome in
To my home, it's your grave, a stage to set my sins
And I will win
You can tell by the grin on my face as the knife digs in
This is all part of my master plan
This is my justice served. Fight back just as hard as you can
This night reveals the man I really am!
A shade of red stained on my hands
I strike again
I swing and I stab as the blade sinks deeper within
This night reveals the man I really am!
A prisoner set on death row, now his sentence begins!
Scream I want to stay (stay) alive (alive)
Looks like I'll disappoint this time
You see (you see) you're dead (you're dead)
To me
You're fucking dead to me!
And you cry please (please) enough (enough)
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
You see (you see) you're dead (you're dead)
To me
You're fucking dead to me!
A virus, a fucking parasite
A disease of society, he'll never make it through the night (make it through the night!)
Cold hearted, he'll fall far from the light
In the end it will only be me
He won't make it through the night!
As my knife releases your soul, I finally lose control
Look out below
The flames of hell, will swallow him up whole
His blood it quickly drains, I tell him one last time...
Scream I want to stay (stay) alive (alive)
Looks like I'll disappoint this time
You see (you see) you're dead (you're dead)
To me
You're fucking dead to me!
And you cry please (please) enough (enough)
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
You see (you see) you're dead (you're dead)
To me
You're fucking dead to me!
Your death it, it was her love
I knew you'd, you'd be the one I'd have to cut up
My enemy you won't rest in peace
Your last mistake was fucking with me
Scream I want to stay (stay) alive (alive)
Looks like I'll disappoint this time
You see (you see) you're dead (you're dead)
To me
You're fucking dead to me!
And you cry please (please) enough (enough)
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
You see (you see) you're dead (you're dead)
To me
You're fucking dead to me!
Horror!
He will fall from the light
(Reborn in)
Horror!
It serves him fucking right!
Burn!
