about
|Andy Clarke, vocals/guitar commented;
"It was a challenging process, but it worked. The Bjork cover was decided by drummer Gary; the lyrics and vibe fitted perfectly, and it was an enjoyable experiment to translate a pop song into doom death metal!”

lyrics
Darling, stop confusing me
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embrace
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this, I belong to here
Where no one cares and no one lives
No light, no air to live in
A place called Hate, The City of Fear
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead and the hurt stops
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering, caress every ache
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead, it stops the hurt
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embrace
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this, I belong to here
Where no one cares and no one lives
No light, no air to live in
A place called Hate, The City of Fear
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead and the hurt stops
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering, caress every ache
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead, it stops the hurt
I play dead, it stops the hurt

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellrippersupported by 15 fans who also own “Play Dead”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

The Blinding Light Of Faith
by DE PROFUNDISsupported by 12 fans who also own “Play Dead”
I missed out on this gem of an album by this Awesome band the first go around. However, with the Awesome newest release I had to check out the back catalog. Thank you De Profundis for the great METAL and to TO for bringing the music into the hands of us crazy METALHEADS.
