Waking The Damned

Waking the Damned is a very personal song to me. It resembles a chapter in my life that took me to where I’m at today. It was inspired by “The Myth of Sisyphus.”

As in the Camus tale, this song explores the sensation of feeling restrained, misunderstood, trapped and as if you’re life was already decided and programmed, right at the moment that you are born. It’s about saying “enough”, drop the stone, “loose the chains” and live your life.

The song resembles the spirit I had to have, to fight against every preconcert, every imposition and every obstacle, that were stopping me from pursuing my dreams and playing metal. It’s about being judged and set aside by society because you don’t follow their standards, when all you really want is to be free, embrace your uniqueness and escape from routines of an empty and meaningless life. Waking the Damned is to wake up those who are doomed to the world and can’t become independent and unique human beings.

Waking the Damned is also about being reborn and celebrating the birth of something new - the beginning of my career.
