Track By Tracks: Bow To The Lions - Bow To The Lions (2017)

This little part of us that has just seen the light and we called Bow To The Lions (the same as the band’s name) is a social scream based on our own experiences and in the way we hope this corrupted world burns. This is our first project and we have been working on it since we were formed in 2012. It’s our way to express ourselves and to criticize the society that surrounds all of us as loud as we can.

It´s an album about our own worries and global problems, and we try to express our wishes to obtain a better world. We want people to realize the strength of the lion that everyone has inside and to forget all the evil people, all those fake lions we won’t bow to.

1.Into the storm:

This intro song has no need to be explained, just the beginning of this trip.

2. Rest In Peace:

This song was made for a friend of our singer. It tries to explain how living a life without dreams and hope is like, and also, how hard fighting against your own enemy can be (YOURSELF).

3. Damnatio ad bestias:

This Latin expression (thrown to the lions) is the one that best explains the reality that this generation is facing, and gives us the strength to shout against it.

4. No more fear:

Just pretty clear, isn’t it? It’s about how fear controls our lives (whichever cause it may come from) and how it suffocates us and particularly it’s a message for those women who are afraid in their own houses. You know what they say: hit before they hit you.

5.Heartless:

Heartless is about how dark everyone’s inner self can become when someone or something fails you.

6. In Memoriam:

In Memoriam is a farewell letter that you would like to send to someone that won’t be there anymore. This song is just a message to them, so they can know that we are with them (wherever they are). Particularly it’s dedicated to two really important people for our vocalist and bassist, their grandpa and mother. 

7. Wanna Know:

It’s about how our feelings and souls interact with this kind of music.

8. I can’t breathe:

Pressure, open wounds and frustrations that appear when you are not the same as everyone else. A message of hope from the experience that there is always a bright new day. Believe in yourself, it’s your best weapon and no one can snatch it from you.

9. We are One:

The message we have tried to send: union and dreams to fight.
