LYRICS
-------------

Zwischen Regression
Und tiefer Depression.
Wir sind alle mehr als rastlos.

Es ist mein Wille,
Der mich davon abhält,
Alles zu beenden.

Verlass den Raum.
Lass alles steh’n.
Bleib wo Du bist.
Kann mich nicht seh’n. Kann mich nicht seh’n.

ALLES, DAS GLÄNZT, DAS IST AUCH GOLD.
WER LIEBE HASST, DER HAT ERFOLG.
WAS BLEIBT, IST DAS GEFÜHL, ALLEIN ZU SEIN.

BLEIB DEINEN WERTEN TREU.
ZEIG MUT, FÜHL KEINE SCHEU.
GEERDET UND DOCH FREI VON LAST UND RAUM.

Heuchler treiben bis zum Abgrund.
Ich werde kämpfen, bleiben, stehen.

Fickt Euch, ihr herzlosen, Plastik- Samariter.
Keinen Moment werd ich ruh’n, bevor der Vorhang hängt und fäll

THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT - Don't You Forget About Me

In times when the music industry is stumbling across its own feet, it’s time to break new ground. As a band you have 2 choices, you either play the game by the old rules hoping you’re one of the few at the mercy of the old marketing and promotion strategies. Or you can trailblaze your own pathway through the ever-changing music business.
To go the most direct way without detour to your hearts and ears we decided to release ‘Smile Like A Wolf’. We put at least as much effort in this download EP as in any other release we put out so far. We spent hours and hours at the practice place, later on in the studio, forced our most drastic life experiences into lyrics, got Dave Quiggle (Rise And Fall, Disciple A.D., Atreyu, War of Ages, etc.)to do the artwork and Milchglas Media to do the web development, to make sure ‘Smile Like A Wolf’ is gonna fully satisfy us and you. This is our hearts and our lives, this is what we love to do and this is what we want to share with you, the fan, the listener, the fuel that keeps us running.

LYRICS
--------
We're running out of time. "Do I stutter?" It was us, dancing on the edge of the dance floor. I saw some freaks running out of time. It was us running out of time.

OUR TIME IS UP. OUR TIME IS NOW. LET'S WALK THE ZOMBIE WALK. (THEY) WON'T GET OUR HEADS WITH THEIR BULLETS FULL OF GAIN.

This party's fuckin' over. We're still hungry for more. Open the way out of hell. Less alone together. Bags full of wisdom. We only met once but it changed our lives forever.

SIE LIESSEN UNS GEHEN, JEDER MIT SEINEM GEWICHT ZU TRAGEN, UNS WORTE VOR'S GESICHT GESCHLAGEN. UND WIE SCHNELL ES GING, DER TRICK IST ATMEN, DIE ANTWORT EINFACH NICHT ZU FRAGEN. DOCH SIEHT IMMER LEBEN OHNE RIESEN GEFAHREN, JEDE NACHT, SCHLAF NUR PROBELIEGEN FUER'N SARG. MANN, NEUBEGINN, MOTIVATION, AUFSTAND IN DER ZOMBIENATION.

THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT - 05. Absolution For Supermen (Feat. Fink / Zero Mentality)

Consideration. Focus. Deceleration. Pretty rare qualities in a time when the music industry serves, eats, chews, swallows and shits out dozens of bands every day. The device is “be quick or be dead”. The result is soulless, heartless and meaningless expression of shallow words and music.

The Blackout Argument slowed down in 2010. Not because of a lack of time or motivation but as a consequence of a rational decision. Having reached most of their personal goals and a good dose of “common music business goals” such as various European tours, constant media presence and positive press feedback and a long list of notable releases, the band more and more zeroed in on the true crux of playing in a band: music itself and its creation. Focusing on the quality and heart in everything they do, this shift in The Blackout Arguement’s self-concept and vision lead to the native but also longsome birth of their new album “Detention”.

Infact the creative process of “Detention” started in June 2009 already, when the first 5 songs were written and demo’ed. Since then The Blackout Argument have worked constantly on both, the album and the band itself. They wrote and recorded more than 20 songs, reworked them and let them mature in a constant cycle and finally tracked them at Suiseidl Studios (Munich, Germany) with highest care and considertion. Subsequently this creation was narrowed down to a selection of 12 harmonizing songs which in the end made up “Detention”, to be released in January 2011.

The Blackout Argument pride themselves over their effort to self-produce “Detention”, an approach that played another key role in (re-)coining the band. “Detention” is challenging and manifold yet extremely catchy and engaging. It creates a very sanguine mix of heavy rock and forward-thinking hardcore. It became nothing less than the album the band always wanted to create.

Embedded in this emotional and strategic agitation the move to a new label just came naturally. Sharing equal ideas, motivation and focus, Redfield Records were the perfect match and thus became the new home for The Blackout Argument.

This band is ready and excited to show off once more the great gap between them and all those short-lived, lukewarm and heartless bands. Bolstered by the songs of their upcoming album ‘Detention’ and sharp set for any stage on this planet, The Blackout Argument continue to build their reputation as a powerhouse of passion and authenticity.
