Starbreaker - 'Lies' (official visualizer video)

Sorry for all that we have done
For what we have become in our fear
Godless, though they claim to be
Blessed in their quest for security
Not so different, me from you
They try to tell us it's not true
Justify the madness, make us hate each other
Lies! On the TV screen
In the magazines, in everything
Lies! On the radio
Everywhere we go, don't you know?
Lies!
Ooh, help me find a better way
We can be okay if we are one
Please try to look outside your world
I will look outside of mine for you
Nothing's clear in black and white
Color is what makes it right
Can't you see they're taking all our dreams away?
With lies! On the TV screen
In the magazines, in everything
(Oh, you just keep givin' us)
Lies! On the radio
Everywhere we go, don't you know?
Lies!
Yeah, help me find a better way
We can be okay if we are one
Lies! On the TV screen
In the magazines, in everything
(Oh, you just keep givin' us)
Lies! On the radio
Everywhere we go, don't you know?
Lies! On the TV screen
In the magazines, in everything
(Oh, you just keep givin' us)
Lies! On the radio
Everywhere we go, don't you know?
Lies!

Τον Οκτώβριο του 2005 κυκλοφορούσε ο δίσκος των TNT "All the Way to the Sun". Παράλληλα ο (τραγουδιστής της μπάντας) Tony Harnell εργαζόταν πάνω σε προσωπικό album μαζί με τον κιθαρίστα Magnus Karlsson (βλ. Primal Fear, Last Tribe, Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall, Allen / Lande, Kiske / Somerville, The Ferrymen, Allen / Olzon κλπ).

Κάπως έτσι δημιουργήθηκαν οι Starbreaker (με τον John Macaluso στα τύμπανα και τον Fabrizio Grossi στο μπάσο). Στις 13 Ιουλίου 2005 κυκλοφόρησε το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο τους. Τρία χρόνια αργότερα (Αύγουστος 2008) "βγήκε" ο δεύτερος δίσκος των Starbreaker υπό τον τίτλο "Love's Dying Wish", ενώ η (δισκογραφική) συνέχεια (και το φινάλε συνάμα) δόθηκε στην αυγή του 2019 με το full length album "Dysphoria".

Το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο των Starbreaker θα επανακυκλοφορήσει στα ξεκινήματα του χειμώνα, με τον υπότιτλο "XXX Anniversary Remix Edition" και το δελτίο τύπου της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Frontiers Music Srl να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Originally released in 2005, Starbreaker's self-titled debut album remains one of the finest examples of modern melodic hard rock, uniting the extraordinary talents of vocalist Tony Harnell (TNT), guitar virtuoso Magnus Karlsson, bassist / producer Fabrizio Grossi and drummer John Macaluso.

Blending soaring melodies, muscular riffs and an unmistakable Scandinavian - American hard rock flair, the album quickly became a cult favorite among fans of powerful, hook-driven melodic metal.

Now, twenty years later, Frontiers proudly presents a newly remixed and remastered edition of this acclaimed debut, featuring a stunning new mix by Aldo Lonobile, who has brought renewed depth, punch and clarity to these timeless recordings while fully preserving the album’s original energy and atmosphere.

From explosive anthems such as “Die For You” and “Crushed” to the emotional intensity of “Transparent” and “Light at the End of the World,” Starbreaker still sounds vibrant, dynamic and incredibly fresh today.

This special reissue celebrates a landmark release in the Frontiers catalog and offers fans the ultimate way to rediscover one of the defining melodic hard rock albums of the 2000s.»
