Holistically speaking, there isn’t much staying power on “Your Last Breath,” although the song’s main riff is worth mentioning. One of the highlights from the record, “The Way We Die,” nails this down with a blistering instrumentation, which complements Jones’ vocals particularly well on the soaring choruses. Needless to say, the opener for They Bleed Red sets the pace for the tracks to follow. “Consume the Damned” is the album fire-starter and gets the blood pumping thanks to a vicious guitar line throughout, but particularly in the song’s bridge. The Los Angeles-based metallers’ sophomore effort is entitled They Bleed Red, and it was released everywhere this past Friday. I was captivated with the complexities Fate had them endure, I laughed as well as cried, I swooned at Damian's heartfelt tender sentiments and rejoiced with them when they finally got their HEA ending.It may have only been a year and a half since Devil You Know released their full-length debut, The Beauty of Destruction, but the metal supergroup fronted by Howard Jones (of Killswitch Engage fame) is already looking to expand on their repertoire. it was a well-paced journey which brought out so many emotions as I got to know Damian, Thea and the cast of secondary characters. Then, and only then, they would finally find peace and make those long ago dreams come true. She would have to wait until after a twisted betrayal which would leave a loved one fighting for their life. She would have to wait for the capture of crooked cops and the discovery of just who the puppet-master was behind her Dad's murder. But Thea would have to wait until her life was in danger at 31 before she would finally be able to hold a very changed Damian again. So Thea would grow to become a strong and successful Book Illustrator, a well loved supportive friend, a kind neighbor and a loving daughter to her widowed Mum. but she would eventually give up hope of ever getting a HEA with Damian. And, in the hopeless loveless years that followed their parting, Thea would never forget him, never stop loving him and never stop writing to him. but at 18 she didn't think her first love would lead to her first heartbreak too. Thea loved Damian right from the start, he was her first everything. And Damian would have to wait much longer than he ever planned before getting another chance with the woman who would always hold his heart. and the army would eventually hone that damaged young warrior into a highly dangerous, highly skilled and highly decorated Green Beret. But their dreams would have to be put on hold for a while because Damian had a lot of pent up anger.
and Cam's twin sister Thea would teach him how to love, how to hope and how to dream. However, his sanity and stability would come from a teenage friendship with his best friend Cam, his family who would teach him how a loving supportive family should be.
and it would shape the man he would become. ultimately abandoning him and leaving him in the mentally and emotionally abusive care of his Mother who spewed venomous toxic insults at him instead of loving words. We first meet Damian at the sweet age of 5 and by the time he'd reached the age of 9 his Father had left. It told the story of an unbreakable love between two teenagers who had to wait over a decade before they would finally get their heart's desire. and a beautiful bitter-sweet listen that brought out so many emotions. and the result was a captivating dual POV listen that I just didn't want to stop, a whodunnit listen that included drama, suspense and angst. AN EPIC JOURNEY OF TRUE LOVE & SECOND CHANCESĪ flawless love story that was masterfully written and skilfully narrated.
