“Fades Away” Live show review
Fades Away- live show review
“You’ll Never Take Me Alive” is an album/show that flip’n rocks (literally) ! They start off with a dramatic and dark track intro that builds suspense and excitement all on its own. The track appeared to be news clips and a speech compiled together on top of a heart beat and music that gets louder and louder. Lights are low, strobes are flickering, fog fills the stage – drummer (Matt), guitarist (John) and bassist (Steve) take the stage and the crowd cheers ….a few seconds after lead singer (Dave) appears fashionably late from back stage, the crowd uproars into screams as the intro track climaxes the band greets and welcomes the fans. A brief and complete silence (except the roaring crowd) arrives and they crash hard into the first song (You’ll Never Take Me Alive) as lights come up and the stage is visible !
Experiencing “Fades Away” was captivating. Their live show is full of mind-blowing sounds and back flips. Their stage presence alone paints a story of passion and aggression. This album “You’ll never take me alive” is full of hard rock guitar riffs and solos mixed with piano, synth and tracks….I love it ! Their clean and positive lyrics are full of emotion and stories of real life experiences, but more importantly the main objective of the album (I think) is that with God – you can overcome.
My favorite song is “Bury Me Alive,” I can’t get enough of the dramatic piano and harmony. The lyrics are “Break me apart from the inside so the only thing left is you.” How can you beat in your face heavy guitar, bass, and drums infused with dramatic piano, electronic synths and tracks? I will tell you, by doing it again! I was fortunate enough to hear a sample of their new album that is being recorded now.
“Fades Away” can be compared to “Linkin Park,” but with a much better message.
