Sorry For Nothing are a 3 piece riff-rocking band in the vein of vintage Sabbath, Clutch, Trouble and Slave Raider. Originally formed in the late nineties, singer/guitarist Rob, drummer John and bassist Stu have been brutalizing audiences across their native North East England ever since, performing with such luminaries as Misfits, Penetration and The Answer.
The imminent release of their debut album 'Reverse Evolution' has caused rampant excitement in the ranks of the ever-loyal SFN fan base, and the long player should ensure that more are converted to the cause.
The album successfully captures the raw energy of the SFN live experience and welds screaming guitar leads onto fuzzed up, elephantine grooves, while the nicely tongue in cheek loose horror theme makes a refreshing change from emo-miserableness!
The REVERSE EVOLUTION of music as we know it starts here...
S.M.S...
Look out there over yonder
Here it comes again
Deep in seas of destruction
In the souls of men
Look out
Don’t go out on the ocean
Steel grey spelling doom
Stay well back from the shoreline
Mankind’s end comes soon
Unspeakable terror from some radiation error
Batten down the hatches
Praying as it’s dragging you down
Death looms on the horizon
Our defenses break
Ancient bringer of horror
The beast is now awake
FIRE DOWN BELOW...
I saw the changes
Everything foretold
I left it all there
Nothing bought or sold
Listened to the voices
Told me what to do
Never coming back here
I’m just passing through
All the things I’ll never see
Left to burn below
All the things I’ll never be
Made to let them go
Making my escape from
All that went before
Fired up and leaving
Scarred by what I saw
Break communication
Static on the line
Gone into the unknown
To another time
KNOTS...
One, two, three, four
Footsteps and more
Onward we go
From this we grow in life
Light up the way
You know I’ll never leave you
Cut it down
We’re big enough to see through
Hold onto me, I’ll be there
Hold onto me
Who will save me?
Tinned meat, gravy
Warmed on fire
My desire cut down
Light up the way
I see it in the distance
Bringing an end to my existence
Hold on to me, I’ll be gone
Hold onto me
Something from a picture
Something from the past
Something from the unknown
This could be the last
Should have been told not to ever laugh
Time to embark on a different path
All of the lies from authority
Never a word of apology
GLASS IN THE SAND...
Nobody could see it
Cause of death unknown
All alone and nowhere
Nowhere left to go
Evidence of nothing
Slipping through our hands
Careful where you’re treading
Shifting desert sands
Camel take me, Camel take me
All night long
Take me down, black sugar
Sweat and taste the heat
Lacerate my fingers
Glass that cuts my feet
Blister in the daylight
Frozen in my hands
Careful where you’re treading
Shifting desert sands
SWALLOW YOUR SOUL...
I turned the pages
The book of the dead
Lay back in my rocking chair
Staring at the red
Reading incantations
The army of the dark
Were gathering outside my shack
Fire from a spark
Chair under the handle
Bar across the door
Nailing shut my windows
Just like I did before
That time under the full moon
Ripped your flesh and bone
Don’t think that I can take this
Don’t leave me all alone
Swallow
Your soul
Save me
From this
Living hell
2000 EYES...
Watching
2000 eyes
Trained on mankind
Made of stone
Broken
Weathered through time
Still it remains
Name unknown
All that we live for
Held within his hands
Break down the locked door
Leave these wasted lands
Knowing
More than we know
Buried for now
Deep in snow
Winter
Into springtime
Shoots of new life
See them grow
All that we live for
Crumbled into dust
Turned into folklore
Curse of the unjust
HOOKED UP TO THE JUICE...
Strapped down, eyes wide open
Hooked up to the juice
Pulsing through my veins
I’ve got too much to lose
How could I have known?
I’d end up in this place
Gone under a shadow
Leaving in disgrace
You reap what you sow
Look out below
I’m running out of things I know
I’m lost without a place to go
White knuckles as I grip
Try hard to recall
Pieces of the whole truth
Worst liar of all
Fading into blackness
Human mind fails now
Slave for my new master
Butcher sacred cow
POWER OVERTHROWN...
Loaded up and rolling
Pressure all around
Over holy water
Descending from the clouds
Drop the bombs
Let it burn
Infected
Reverse evolution
Mend your evil ways
Painful and disfigured
Counting down your days
All the breaks have been cancelled
All outcome unknown
Mankind has been found out
Power overthrown
SALTY DOG...
I stand here
Lone on the horizon
I know my
End is coming near
I see the
Movement on the water
I feel my
Mind becoming clear
Wind is all around
Like somebody whispering
Sacrificial lamb
Dragged straight down to hell
Pulled in
Choking on saltwater
Ripped with
Bloody fingernails
Bite down
Ripped with iron canines
Torment
Here beneath the waves
Death is in my head
Hear nobody whispering
Sacrificial Lamb
Dragged straight down to hell
BONE DRY...
Long way from your home
Long way down
Wrong turn taken
From outside town
Messed up everything
Found my work
Messed up everything
Hit the dirt
You won’t leave tomorrow
It all ends today
You want to believe your nightmares
Are found along this way
Messed up everything
Found my work
Found those pine boxes
Under earth
Digging like a dog
Found a bone
Too late came the cry
Long way home
BIG TOP...
Hold fast
They won’t get the best of us
Blood bath
Taking them down
Forced in
Hunted down the rest of them
Burned out
Going over
We’ll dance with the souls of the dead
Made strong by the blood which we shed
We’ll drink till the bodies run dry
Immortal, we never shall die…
…out
Exist among the shadows
Drink up
Strength in death
Washed down
Full of black eternity
No more
Dust to dust
Our will cannot be broken
Black night, we have awoken
Our fire cannot be taken
Your world will be shaken
WITCHFINDER...
Cursed from the day that I met you
Now I take this to the grave
Another one burns in the morning
Purified by holy flames
13 they came and they took you
Thrown into the waves
Screaming, you’re breaking the surface
Witches will never be saved
As the morning mist lingers on
All my fears are rolled into one
One of these days I’ll forget you
When I’m cold beneath the ground
Headstone is covered with mosses
Listening hard for the sound
Blackest of hearts still beating
Finally awake
Rising up into the ether
All the world to shake
