Song Of The Half: Facade by: Disturbed!

A fantastic song!

We here at Hellinspace in conjunction with our other site, HellsDepot are introducing a new thing that we hope will give you guys even more opportunity to find some really cool Horror/Scifi entertainment to enjoy!

That being the item, 'of the half'! What does that mean... Well simply put, we have 6 categories in which we regularly write about, and so every month we are going to award a particular item from one of those categories that our staff have found that we really like, and that deserves special merit! 

And for this month we thought that we would mention the song, 'Facade' from Disturbed's 2008 album: 'Indestructible'! Let's just put it this way... I can tell you why I like this song, but for more information why not just check out this song for yourself!

Disturbed: This Moment (2011) - Song Review

Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils

I will be honest and say that I really like Disturbed... They are a great heavy metal band that actually gave me a lot of hope in a world that has been awash in popular music that includes teeny bopper singers that are meant to get 14 year old girls excited, (take that anyway you want... And trust me when I say that you are probably right... Sad!)

But for headbangers like myself from way back, seeing the downfall of great music in the late 90s through the early part of the new millennium was not only sad, but it was maddening, and thus I was glad to find bands like, 'Disturbed'... Now I will be honest and say that I was pretty sad to see that they have kind of gone on to other projects... Still they do rock!

I must say that, 'The Moment', from their album, 'The Lost Children' (2011), may not be the best, but it is not bad!

'This Moment' may not be the best song they have done, but it certainly is not the worst!

 Don't get me wrong, this song is fun, and it is cool that it was used in the soundtrack to, Transformers (2007), but it didn't have that pulse pounding element that most of the rest of their songs have... Most of their songs are like a watching a good horror movie or reading a good horror novel in and of itself, but this song is sort of like, 'listening to the end credits...' Definitely worth listening to if you like to wait for everyone else to leave the theater first... But otherwise kind of useless...

For the fans, the lyrics to: The Moment, by: Disturbed!

You will remember this moment as you dig into me
And from your smile now it seems as if you liked it
You'd better cherish this moment as you dig into me
You'll never get another chance at this

I won't stand another minute of your questioning me
You hear me, bitch, stop the interrogations over
I can't handle the feeling of your pestering me
How would you like to make my favorite list

No, you can't reneg
I love to see you beg

Dream this moment as you run away
You will only separate me from all I believe
This moment in brutality
You're the one who kept on pushing till I made you bleed

It seems your pride has been stolen since you stood up to me
I'll tell you now you know I think I really like it
So, learn a lesson from someone
Who will never repeat the many tragic mistakes of his past

I hope you savor this moment as you're still on your feet
So keep it quiet now, I think you're gonna like it
Words have their consequences when they're spoken to me
Better be careful when you're writing checks

Don't you question how
I stand above you now

Dream this moment as you run away
You will only separate me from all I believe
This moment in brutality
You're the one who kept on pushing till I made you bleed

Now, you know the answer, save yourself from danger
I cannot forget how all of this began
I know you know the answers, save yourself from danger
Beaten by a stranger, blood still on his hands

Dream this moment as you run away
You will only separate me from all I believe
This moment in brutality
You're the one who kept on pushing till I made you bleed

Top Five Killer Disturbed Songs

David Draiman playing with Disturbed live in Philadelphia in 2001!

You know I will be honest and say that I have only gotten in to the music of, 'Disturbed' recently... The truth is though, is that this band that has been around since the 90s and is pretty bad ass!

The reason that I say this is the fact that there sound is truly spectacular, I mean they seem anyway to me to take the best part of a lot of heavy metal bands of the 90s, including: Metallica & Marilyn Manson as well as Nine Inch Nails, and turn that in to a sound that is all there own!

So for those of you guys who are fans, I thought you guys would enjoy this, and for those of you haven't heard them yet... Well I thought that you guys would enjoy the 5 songs that I would consider to be the top 5 best songs they have ever made! So enjoy!

At number 5: Indestructible (2008), from the album with the same title.

For  number 4:  Asylum (2010), from the album with the same title.

The next one on the block at number 3: The Night (2009), from the album, 'Indestructible'.

At number 2: Warrior (2010), a song that is also from the album, 'Asylum'.

And last but not least, at number 1: Meaning Of Life (2000), from the album, 'The Sickness'.

Five Great Photos Of Five Great Rockstars When They Aren't Working

Most of the time when we think about bands, we generally tend to associate them with what ever album they just released, or what ever song they were in the process of singing, or even what venue they are playing at...

Well I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to take things in a different direction and show them when they are not working!

So for the first one we have: Elvis Presley

And this next one is:

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="615"] The Beatles as they are reading mail outside of the limelight or the recording studio![/caption]

And at number 3:

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="279"] Ozzy Osbourne and the family...[/caption]

With number 2:

Aging Heavy Metal And Rock Bands... Still Have Value

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Metallica... Still kicking ass![/caption]

A few months ago I was working on a piece for the site and came across a relatively recent photo of Metallica... And I have to say that I was surprised by what I saw! What I mean by this, is that they looked older! Not senior citizen old... But like middle aged men!

There isn't anything wrong with this, I mean their first album came out roughly about a year after I was born, but I got to thinking of all of the other great musicians that have been kicking ass and taking names for literally decades and I realized something... Where are they?

What I mean by this, is I have noticed that a lot of the bands that have been hitting the popularity circuit are newer bands... And so I had to ask... Where are they?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Disturbed... A newerish band that is helping to keep heavy metal bad ass![/caption]

Now before I go on, I will say that it is true, that like everything, eventually there is a changing of the guard, when the old guard has to turn it over to the next generation... So I say to you guys... It is not that time and these aging bands are still good... As a matter of fact, with what is passing for, 'popular music' in this day and age... We need the monsters of metal and rock to come back and kick ass one more time!

Now I am sure that people like, 'Justin Bieber' and his nutso ilk are liked by a lot... But the music industry is now dominated by these people who have weekly breakdowns and scandals... We need the monsters of metal like, 'Metallica', 'Ozzy Osbourne', 'Marilyn Manson' to come out of obscurity and take down these obnoxious twits that have taken over and bring back some dignity to the world of music once more!

So again I say... Aging Heavy Metal & Rock Bands... Still Have Value!

Disturbed/Skrillex... Great Signs Of The Next Generation Of Music

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Metallica... A great band that helped make music in the 1980s great![/caption]

I will say that one of my favorite generations of music would have to be the 1980s... Their was some great bands, with some great music that came out then, such bands as, 'Metallica', 'Stone Temple Pilots' & Red Hot Chili Peppers and the like!

Now don't get me wrong, the 90s also had some great music, but when we first saw the turn over from 90s to the new millennium, I found that what was great from the last 20 years, ended up turning over to music (albeit, I imagine some people like,) but turning over from Heavy Metal and Rock 'n Roll music, to boy bands... And now tweens... Well being a metal head I have to say that I was pretty annoyed!

Don't get me wrong, there was some good music to come out, but not enough... (At one point I would say, 'Linkin Park' was leading the pack... especially with the more classic bands having all bud vanished...)

[caption id="attachment_2779" align="aligncenter" width="450"] Linkin Park at one point I would say was leading the pack in what would be defined as, 'Good music'![/caption]

Well I have some good news for you guys... News that I found to be particularly good considering...

I have managed to find some groups that helped to restore my faith in modern music... That was the band, 'Disturbed' and the musician, 'Skrillex'!

These guys are great! Let me begin with, Disturbed... I see a lot of the more classic heavy metal bands as inspiration for their music, including: Metallica, Marilyn Manson & even Nine Inc h Nails, but not only are their influences awesome, but they bring that type of bad ass headbanging music that made heavy metal great, but they also gave it a new feel for the new millennium that just truly makes all of their music so awesome!

But don't trust me, listen for yourself!

And as for Skrillex... Well first off, let me say that I have not really ever been a huge fan of techno... I mean the repetitive beats after awhile just kind of get extremely annoying... I found this to be true until I started listening to the musician, 'Skrillex'!

I found his brand of Techno to be different, but enjoyable... with elements that I think would work absolutely amazing in horror movies... What I mean by this, is that... Well have you ever seen a horror movie that is made in a desert setting? It is dirty, and it is almost more intense then the mainstream horror movie? Well I have found that Skrillex is kind of like that for me!

For more information on this amazing talents work, check this out!

The reason that I mention this is because if you are like me... A true metal head, and definitely not some one who is a fan of what has become the more popular brand of music in the new millennium, then have faith, because there is hope! These are some good people to listen to... And there are more and more coming!
