FACE/OFF

FACE/OFF

Face/Off was the first song ever which we wrote together in the rehearsal room with all bandmembers attending the songwriting process, or at least the start of it. It was although the first song we would write after our 'Morbide Unterhaltungsmusik' album. 

Although we didn't finish writing the song in the rehearsal room, we all had our influences on the song, how the instrumentalists play their parts and so on. If I remember correctly, after 3 or 4 rehearsals more the music was done and it kicked off the songwriting process for the next songs for the upcoming album of ours. It also showed in which direction we were heading at that time, although we are quite openminded.

This song is quite important to us because it showed that, if we all work together we can write awesome songs, that pleases everyone in the band! It motivated me so much to write more songs for this band like never before. This pretty much IS High Rise Fall, how we sound, that we embrace not only black and death metal music but it hinted also to something more, to the fact that we don't want to write "just" metal music.

Lyrically, 'Face/Off' is about a collector who collects the most beautiful part of the human body. The face. The lyrics describe the whole collecting process from meeting the victim, hunting, preparing the amputation and the amputation itself. The name of the song plays around the movietitle 'Face/Off' . The lyrics aren't about the movie, but more about the getting-your-face-cut-off-part.
