about

Jack Torrance, the character played by Jack Nicholson in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, has to be my favourite horror movie character of all time. That performance is what made me addicted to horror movies. I wanted to write a song about this movie as an homage to this masterpiece. When we started to work together on this song, we soon realized that this would be our heaviest composition to date, and we needed someone to help us express this emotion in order to be satisfied with our work. After doing some research, we approached Insurrection’s lead vocalist Stef Jomphe in an attempt to have his voice on the track, just to make it that much better! We were absolutely honoured and excited when he accepted the project and headed straight to the studio. This song hits you in a way that you have no choice but to headbang!

lyrics

Shining through
The remnant cast
They warned of vengeance
From the dreadful past

Turn on the light
The frightening sight
Cadaver found in
Room 185

Writing in this wretched mansion
He strives for a better life
Madness slowly takes away
They won’t live another day

The blood on the walls
When darkness falls
Running through the halls
The ghost will kill them all

Possessed by evil
Murder on his mind
All work, No play
Rage will find its way

Family dispute
Terror in her eyes
He swings his axe
Until the voices die

Little pigs, little pigs, let me in
Not from the hair of your chiny-chin-chin?
Little pigs, little pigs, let me in
Or I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in

As the novel claims its writer
The story never ends
There is no place here for saviors
Dead memories prevail
Escaping through the winter maze
They struggle to survive
Now demented, the caretaker
Will hunt them through the night

The blood on the walls
When darkness falls
Running through the halls
Johnny kills them all
