Rheinfelden, Germany
Metal / Hardcore / Experimental
The band Fear my Thoughts was found in 96. Originating from the same area that brought forth Destruction, Celtic Frost Evereve and other well known bands their aim in creating extreme music appeared just normal. After their first self produced Demo and Record SAPERE AUDE Fear my thoughts started changing their style from more old school based influences towards a more experimental approach to music.
Being very determined and yet not limited to any border the musical pulp combined everything from straight hardcore riffs to very technical metal. Still there was always room for acoustic parts and sweet melodies.
The next two albums 23 and VITRIOL were released on Let it burn records. The releases of these two albums were accompanied by two tours through Europe. The release of the split album with FEAR IS THE PATH TO THE DARK SIDE marked a change in the musical orientation. It was now more than obvious that the journey would go back to the metal roots all members have.
With their Lifeforce debut album THE GREAT COLLAPSE the band was sure to get international recognition and gained a lot of positive feedback. The following release HELL SWEET HELL finally brought another boost in their career. With very good rankings in ROCKHARD, METALHAMMER, LEGACY and other important magazines even more people got aware of the bands well developed skills. Fear my thoughts meanwhile now perfectly how to combine real, authentic aggression and sweet melodies to a very special mix that knows how to fascinate. The band has now signed to CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS and released yet another full length album.
In late 2005 Fear my Thoughts teamed up with LET IT BURN RECORDS again to rerelease their debut album “23” along with the follow up “vitriol” on a discography CD titled SMELL SWEET SMELL. Both CD’s had been sold out for months. SMELL SWEET SMELL has a completely revised artwork (by Mark23) and comes along with linernotes by the band.
After 5 Full length Albums and 2 MCD/Split Releases on labels like Let it burn, Lifeforce and recently CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS, Fear My Thoughts released their current effort “Isolation” on July 18th 2008.
