DESCRIPTION:
For more than eight years, Red Star Belgrade made some of the darkest and most uncompromising music on the planet. Provocative, insightful, and always tuneful, Secrets and Lies just might be the band's best CD yet.

The title cut, which begins with a droning, Indian-like guitar figure, builds into a maelstrom of epic fury as Rizzo and Curry unleash a mammoth wall of sound. Perhaps the band's finest song to date, "Secrets and Lies" is without doubt its darkest, as the song concludes: "When your heroes turn to villains and your Gods disintegrate / When you look into your lover's eyes and find a trace of hate / When you re-examine friendships all you find are quid pro quos /When the loneliness won't leave you then you know just how it goes."
