WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Headcell" appears to be a song about hitting a point in your life where you just want to forget about past mistakes that have constantly held you down and start with a new and fresh outlook. The vocalist almost feels like he's been born again after discarding the weight and baggage that has dragged him down and held him back for years. He feels free. He feels accountable. And he even feels invincible!
A DYING REGIME DISCOGRAPHY (Full length albums only):
A Dying Regime has not released a full length album, only two EP's.
MY THOUGHTS ON A DYING REGIME:
A Dying Regime formed as a band back in 2011, hailing from Orlando, Florida. The band's debut recording was a self-released EP called "Lost Ave". The band released a video for the song "A Hedgehog Dilemma". This EP helped garner the band opening slots on tours with Authority Zero and Falling In Reverse. A year later in 2013, A Dying Regime released another EP titled "Shuttles". This EP was released through DyingScene Records. DyingScene had a great blog that has gone off the grid for a few years now which gave great updates on all things punk. As they built a following, they began signing some punk bands to their own label, A Dying Regime being one of them. In 2015, A Dying Regime released a few stand alone songs, one of them being a Strung Out cover "Somnombulance" which could be found on a Fat Wreck Chords compilation. For four years, you didn't really hear much from A Dying Regime until they posted an old live clip on their Facebook page in 2019. In the comment section of that video a band member replied and said that A Dying Regime is not active so I assume they broke up, probably even earlier than 2019 but I don't have any definitive information. A Dying Regime hasn't released a whole lot of music but what they have put out if pretty fuckin' good! They're a punk band at heart, but they do have some metal influence in their sound as well. I first heard of this band from that DyingScene blog that I spoke of earlier. That's when I picked up their "Lost Ave" EP. "Shuttles" was also a good EP as well. I was expecting some big things from this band and hoping for a full length but it never came to be. Sucks when promising bands fold so quickly. Unfortunately, that is today's music industry.
