Infrared - 'Then the Earth Goes Black' (official music video)

When blackened hearts and closed minds
Shut us out, we reign supreme
There’s no way out, this frightening dream
And then we lie in the bed we’ve made
Fear is here, end of line
Two factions prepare, we bide our time

Now, we turn the keys, then the earth goes
black!

And fades away into the night
The earth goes black
And dies so slow in our mother’s arms
The earth goes black
Now we hear the weeping cries
For the senseless death we’ve brought
Fire rains down
Hell on earth for those who stood by
Now waiting for their moment of sweet
release
Bring us to our end

Something we thought we’d never see
Panicked eyes slowly close
A worldly death by overdose
We now repent in hopelessness
Conscience lost, it’s too late
Disregard has sealed our fate

Now, we turn the keys, then the earth goes
black!

Now we hear all the weeping cries
For the senseless death we’ve brought
Fire rains down
Hell on earth for those who stood by
Now waiting for their moment of sweet
release
Bring us to our end, nothing to defend
In this wasteland we brought upon
ourselves
No two sides, just one of death
We lay it all to rest, we’ve scorched the
skies
Through endless lies!

Now, we turn the keys, then the earth

Infrared: Καναδέζικο thrash metal συγκρότημα που δραστηριοποιήθηκε την περίοδο που μεσουρανούσαν οι (αποκαλούμενοι ως) Big 4 (Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax). Δραστηριοποιήθηκε στο δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα με απολογισμό μόλις ένα demo ["R.I.P. (Recognition in Power)" 1988].

Προ δεκαετίας επανήλθε δριμύτερο. Δύο EPs και τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένοι" δίσκοι ο απολογισμός της επιστροφής τους. Το πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Infrared φέρει τον τίτλο "Manifestation" και κυκλοφόρησε στις αρχές του φθινοπώρου.

Δελτίο τύπου: «As purveyors of classic thrash metal, Infrared’s roots run deep, having first gained acclaim in the 80s with their hit “Thoughts Caught (in Between)”. Since then, they have released 3 albums and two EPs with Manifestation as the fourth full-length album. They share their excitement:

“With life as busy as it is and some life challenges plaguing the band, the release has been delayed a few times. This is the longest we have sat on a finished album. With determination, we ramped up and filmed four videos and did all it takes to put together what the fans want, new classic thrash metal with a modern feel.”

The single “Manifest Nation” rips and grooves all the way through while singing about a society losing itself and its way. They try to manifest a better life, but with all the technological distractions, they never achieve their goal.

With the album “Manifestation”, Infrared has taken inventory and assessed its back catalog, and looked to see what it could improve on. The result is straight-to-the-point songs that are high in energy and aggression all while staying true to the classic thrash sound. This barn burner of an album is recommended for fans of Exciter, Sacrifice, and Razor.»
