Fate - 'This Won't Last' (official visualizer video)

Feel like a lamb led to the slaughter
Feeling I’m running out of air
I cannot hide the way I’m feeling
There was a time when you weren’t there,
That’s right

For the first time,
I’m in over my head
I’m alone,
Trying to get back on my feet

You don’t feel the same way,
Tou don’t care at all
There’s no way around it,
I think you’re made of stone
This won’t be forever,
This won’t last at all
I won’t be discouraged
I think you’re made of stone

I try to pretend this never happened
No way to run, nowhere to hide
Gotta face up to this illusion
Get rid of these thoughts and foolish pride

For the first time,
I’m in over my head
I’m alone,
Trying to get back on my feet

You don’t feel the same way,
You don’t care at all
There’s no way around it,
I think you’re made of stone
This won’t be forever,
This won’t last at all
I won’t be discouraged
I think you’re made of stone

You won’t ever change I know
Still, I hope for you to see the light
I won’t get down on my knees
But I hope for this with all my might

Το μακρινό 1985 ο κιθαρίστας Hank Shermann δημιούργησε -μετά την (προσωρινή όπως αποδείχθηκε) διάλυση των Mercyful Fate- τους Fate, οι οποίοι κινήθηκαν σε πιο μελωδικά - εμπορικά μονοπάτια. Με την επιστροφή των Mercyful Fate το 1993 οι Fate διαλύθηκαν (επίσης προσωρινά) με απολογισμό τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, δύο EPs και πέντε singles.

Οι Fate επανήλθαν το 2004 και συνεχίζουν μέχρι τις ημέρες μας προσθέτοντας στην δισκογραφική τους συγκομιδή ακόμη τρία full length albums συν μία συλλογή. Και τα τρία επανακυκλοφόρησαν από την Frontiers Music srl στα τελειώματα του περασμένου έτους (1η Δεκεμβρίου 2023).

Το 2024 σηματοδοτεί την δισκογραφική τους επιστροφή μετά από μία ενδεκάδα έτη. "Reconnect 'n Ignite" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στην "καρδιά" του φθινοπώρου, με το δελτίο τύπου να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Reconnect N’ Ignite marks the return of the Danish Legendary band Fate. Originally formed in late '84 in Copenhagen by Hank Sherman following his departure from Mercyful Fate, the band got their first record deal with the Danish EMI, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1985.

1988 saw the first line-up change in the history of Fate, as Hank Sherman left the combo and the band entered a difficult period of their career, until the release of “Scratch N Sniff", in 1990, when the guys returned to their initial strongest sound and becoming a more mature band, this also thanks to the new powerhouse singer Peer Johansson.

Per's powerful voice was the major addition to the sound of the band and his input on "Scratch N Sniff" was tremendous. After several tours in 1990/91, Fate was joined by a new guitarist: the talented Søren Hoff and they started to record new demos before to split up.

In 2006 Fate released "V", after getting together to perform at the prestigious Deep Impact Festival in Germany in 2005. The band got so many good responses from fans and media that they decided to continue.

In the beginning of 2011 Danish guitar hero Torben Enevoldsen (Section A/ Fatal Force) replaced Søren Hoff, and the band recorded “Ghost From The Past and later in 2013 “If Not For The Devil”.

Three titles recently re-issued by Frontiers Records Srl. Reconnect N’ Ignite deliver the band in a state of grace, a brilliant guitar work from Torben, a tight rhythm section, classy synth arrangements and the amazing Per’s voice, that once again shows his incredible talent. Songs like “Reason For Everything” will be stuck into the fans’ head for a longtime!»
