These are not normal. We notice it from every detail, the name, the album cover (what is it?), the song titles, the quirky lyrics, these guys are out of their minds. One of the weirdest bands of the 00s (maybe). They are crazy and schizophrenic, shocking, giving their tracks titles like "Dog Sized Bird" (And what if the bird in question was an ostrich, how about that huh? huh?) and "Ten Seconds In Los Angeles" during which listening you can't help but look around disoriented. "The Always Open Mouth" is even more neurotic, experimental, and insane than the two predecessors; it is mainly Post-Hardcore, the authentic one, crazy, schizophrenic, and brilliant, with many other undefined genres mixed together to create an alienating, disorienting, and bizarre blend. You know bands like Blood Brothers and Bear Vs. Shark, well, we are in similar territories but more sinister, unknown, and bizarre, ultimately better.

"The Always Open Mouth" is a very strange album, a record that will seem strange even after 2176622626 listens, this is probably what makes it irresistible, it is the strength of Fear Before The March Of Flames, capable of releasing something like this in 2006 when their genre (no, wait always if they can be put in a genre) was increasingly stereotyped in the clutches of the wrong bands and fans, in the hands of bands that made the wrong music at the wrong time trying to classify it as respectable. 

"The Always Open Mouth" is a rare gem, still shrouded in mystery, to be studied and understood deeply to know and preserve "musical biodiversity". We needed and need people who stand out, who are not afraid to affirm their uniqueness, and when we called Fear Before The March Of Flames, they responded

I can feel a pull from the outside world
A lonely shadow in the moonlit night
I can feel a pull from the outside world
A lonely shadow in the moonlit night
I can feel a pull from the outside world

Please pull me up with the oceans
Music is seen, colors are heard
A dark vision of senses
Is this tasting the world?
To ruin the illusion
Is this primal or futile?
Is this instinct or evil?
Is this right or wrong?

I can feel a change
Yes I can feel a change inside me
Inside you
I can feel a change
Yes I can feel a change inside me
Inside you

Gnashs through each stranger in the night
Your eyes will be opened
It will be too bright to see reality
When I wake up
In the morning
The taste lingers
On my lips

A love lost a lovers breath
What's best for me tonight is to let my coat fill in
A swift killer at each bite
People change when the pleasure starts to spoil
To my touch vivid colors appear
Dark visions it was all too bright to see
Reality what if this is all there is?
So sad to hear
Oblivious to the obvious thats you
That's you
A love lost a lovers breath
Whats best for me tonight is to let my coat fill in
I'll be on my way in flight
