Sumerian Records recently put the feelers out for vocalists to try their hand (and voice) at auditioning for a new secret project using an instrumental track that they shared via social media. The details of the contest are detailed below...
- NEW PROJECT SEEKS VOCALIST -
'This yet-to-be-named and revealed project consisting of long-time members of the Sumerian family is looking for the final piece of the puzzle - your voice. For now, we are keeping this collaboration and line-up a mystery. Full details will be revealed in the near future.'
Here's my audition for the project. The instrumental belongs to Sumerian Records, original lyrics written and performed by me! I went for a vibe that wasn't entirely obvious considering the kind of bands on the label - the live take isn't perfect but I felt it was the best one that captured the passion I wanted the be at the forefront. Check it out!
LYRICS
Devoted
The evidence we can’t believe
Ferocious
Experience the agony
Pull the thread
Just to see how far it goes
String turning white to red
Catacombs fill with blood
I can hear you catch your breath
Devoted
The evidence we can’t believe
Ferocious
Experience the agony
Suffering in silent dreams
Deafened by cacophonies
Endure the final tragedy
Annihilate
Close your eyes and sink below
Cells and atoms making up all
Everything and everyone
The ones you’ve lost and ones you love
Or learnt to love
Devoted
The evidence we can’t believe
Ferocious
Experience the agony
Suffering in silent dreams
Deafened by cacophonies
Endure the final tragedy
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone
Exaggerate the evidence
Bend and twist til it makes sense
Insert lie or sit on fence
Don’t be left wanting
Don’t be left wanting
Devoted
The evidence we can’t believe
Ferocious
Experience the agony
Suffering in silent dreams
Deafened by cacophonies
Endure the final tragedy
