Melodic yet somewhat unsettling...
scary manilow sci fi rock
Artist picture
A molten maelstrom of mechanized malevolence for a murderous millennium.
"(Sci-Fi Thriller) ... sounds deceptively playful and majestic, yet somehow unsettling and disturbing.... Like Voivod, Faith No More and Tool jamming with Danny Elfman ... " --- David Glessner, Metal Edge magazine/San Antonio Express-News " . . . to describe the sound and presence of Scary Manilow . . . (take) the creativity and innovative spirit of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, then combine that with the intensity of a cosmic super nova, captured and translated into music form . . . Half science fiction, half horror, all original hyper-space rock . . . (Sci-Fi Thriller is) a mind altering listening experience that stirs the imagination with more visuals and special effects than any movie could ever possibly do." --- Zach Marcotte, The Edge Magazine "If Scary Manilow's three-song 'To the Grave' EP is any indication, the quartet has plenty to offer imaginative rockers . . . while some people stand around and decry the city's lack of a 'scene,' artists such as Vince Pinedo and his Scary Manilow cohorts dig in, go to work and create." --- Jim Beal Jr., San Antonio Express-News "Just when you're thinking the night couldn't get better, Scary Manilow rolled up like a packing fist on to the stage. Cindy Osbourne on keyboards (and vocals) gives this industrial sound to the band that is kicking out some hard rhythmic ear candy. " --- Melissa Hernandez, SA Music Scene "Scary Manilow is a science fiction rock 'n' roll group . . . that . . . combines keyboards with a male and female singer. This combination is rarely seen these days, but it does them well." --- Alexander Crowe, The Edge Magazine "Think of a horror movie without the movie and you'll be close." --- Jim Beal Jr., San Antonio Express-News "I have been captured by Scary Manilow and their unique, atmospheric, sci-fi horror rock . . . With a calming yet captivating stage presence and a sort of psychotic yet melodic sound, Scary Manilow is something one must experience." --- Zach Marcotte, The Edge Magazine

Lyrics
Please don't talk - I know what you're gonna say - That I'm just feeling sorry for myself - Simply put, I haven't a card to play – The game of life is dealing me out - Woken by the sound of your sirens - Mirrors cracked but still my face looks the same - I can't be as cold as these tyrants -They mark the cards and fix all the games - I'd be safer on the ground - I'd be safer if my feet were planted firmly down – But I've got this urge to fly - Want to penetrate the sky and never kiss the night goodbye - Bang my head against the brick wall again - Seems like I've been swimming in circles - Got to feed the hunger that burns within - No time left to pray for your miracles - Walking to the beat of your violence - Hit the ground whenever the sirens wail - Can't sleep through the deafening silence - Can't wake up at the toll of the bell -I'd be safer on the ground - I'd be safer if my feet were planted firmly down - But I've got this urge to fly - Want to penetrate the sky and never kiss the night goodbye - Got this urge to fly
