Liam O'Mally is a 26 musician, born in Ireland to an English mother and Irish father. His father passed away when he was 11, and his mother remained an alcoholic for most of his childhood up until she died as well, when Liam was 21. Liam was the bass guitarest and occasional lead singer of popular Punk band The Lost, where he used his musical skill and drive to create an unchallenged mix-genre of anarchaic punk, crushing grunge and heart-wrenching lyrics. The lead singer, Liam's best friend - Ben Alex, was known for his sex and drug addictions which came to a head as he attempted suicide with a overdose. Luckily, his loving now wife saved him, and the band reunited for one album. The album was a massive success, and one of their most popular and biggest sellers. However, afterwards the band said they weren't sure they still felt the passion anymore, and lacking that they decided to break up before they ruined what they'd built up. Liam has been the head of an experimental Doom metal musical project 'The Schadenfreude Ecdysiast', and is now starting up a solo effort. He is also the organiser of 'Animal Festival', was once the head of a record label and also runs the music franchise 'Smash!'.

So yeah, he's pretty cool.

Hey ya'll, well, now that Animal Festival is out of the way I can really get down to recording this new album. I've written a few tracks and they're pretty cool, but they'll need a bit more tweaking before they're ready to record. I'm not even sure about the album name yet, but I'll definitely get back to you once I've decided upon what to call it. However there are two songs, titled 'Fever' and 'Bruised Knuckles' were both performed at Animal Festival and went down pretty well. They aren't done yet but the words and pretty meaningful.

'Fever' is a love song, but not so straight forward. It's quite violent and the lyrics are anything but conventional. The music suits the lyrics well I think, medium paced but it speeds up in some places. The song's pretty much about a love/hate relationship, where the feelings are so strong it's kind of difficult to determine the difference between the two. It's like a fever, it raps you up in this cocoon of emotions and all you can see is the inside of the cocoon. It absorbs you and you feel nothing but the feelings for the person. It's quite tragic in that way, that it's a kind of doomed love for each other. It kind of in a way reasons with domestic abuse, it gives you the other persons point of view. Now obviously I'm not condoning domestic abuse at all, but it gives you an idea of what it's like to love someone so much that hurting them seems the only way to hold onto them.

'Bruised Knuckles' is a story of one of my best friends from school who passed away recently. Again this is quite a tragic song, I'm planning on making it totally acoustic as well. The lyrics speak of this angsty, aggressive, violent, rebellious teenager - a rebel without a cause, and his struggle against what he saw as his enclosure, a box around him that he just couldn't get out of. It shows his rise and then his deterioration. Pretty thought provoking, I think.
