Evildead - Future Shock - Video
PUBLISHED:  May 09, 2008
DESCRIPTION:
A fucking awesome thrash masterpiece by Evildead. This song is called "Future Shock" and it's from their debut, 1989 album, "Annihilation of Civilization".

Evildead was a thrash metal band based in California, born from the ashes of two bands, Agent Steel and Abbatoir.

In 1987, after leaving Agent Steel, guitarist Juan Garcia and bassist Mel Sanchez formed Evildead with the intention to do music more in a thrash metal vein than their old band (which developed the speed metal sound), following a Vio-lence/Sacred Reich style, with lyrics exploring political and social themes mixed with horror/nuclear war themes.

In 1988 they got a deal with the European metal label Steamhammer Records and released the Rise From Above EP (a 3 songs EP, Rise Above is cover of Black Flag) in the same year, following with the debut album Annihilation of Civilization in 1989. A promotional videoclip was launched, for the song Annihilation Of Civilization and it received some airplay on MTV's Headbangers Ball.

After the tour they entered the studio to record their last studio album called The Underworld (1991). Their last release was a Live album, called Live...From The Depths Of The Underworld in 1992, but the audience for thrash metal was not the same due to the grunge movement that was emerging at that time and after release the live album, two years later, Evildead split up.

After the band split up officially, Carlos Medina and Juan Garcia came back to the reformed Agent Steel, but still play together with Evildead members in a band called Terror, which has one full-lentgh and an EP, with all songs in Spanish language.

LYRICS:

Fighting for what cause? To them it's unknown
The sixties brought peace and love, with homage to Vietnam
The seventies was Watergate, three-mile island the tragic fate
The eighties we build our A.R.M.S., public scandals in Iran
The nineties you can be assured, bombshelters for the weak and strong.
Another bombing, another hijack,
We'll never get our hostages back, brutal murders 'till the end
Atomic safety, non-existant, Chernobyl's burning,
We won't miss it...radioactivity in their brains
Dumping toxics in the sea, Governmental heigharchy,
Killing creatures, extinct breed...
No emotions we must face, rise of the synthetic race
Building empires - demonic power...

The social class claims Democratic, slowly fading to phlegmatic
Computers rule, now we panic...
Prepared for battle, been sold for slaughter,
Say goodbye to Son and Daughter, The Future; a dying matter...
Want to live?
The choice not yours,
You've become prisoners of war, Apocalypse is now at hand...
Inflicting torture unjust to Man, merciless killings,
Throughout the Land, the holocaust - alive again...
A CALL TO ARMS
WON'T HAPPEN HERE
WITH AFGHANISTAN
AND LYBIA
nuke 'em all, make 'em glow!

The whore of the beast, ten horns from the East,
Hail from the skies, cracking the Earth,
The walls of the Cities, crumble to dust,
The nations witness the final blast,
Prophets of rage, in the last age,
Maybe we'll learn from Human remains...

The politicians' dug our grave, for mocking war our lives we gave,
The time has passed to make some peace, the guilty minds now ruled by beasts,
The World we know, does not exist, no sign of life, the future shock
In Armageddon none survive, the Human race can't be revived.
