Close thy eyes
Bow thy head
Repeat after me and
breathe the words in
If all we see and all we seem
is nothing but a dream within a dream
Wake up
You’re shaking
Behold!
The porticos and vistas of Unknown Kadath
Where no God or Mortal Man
has ever traveled past
Your body and mind awaken
You’re shaking

Invisible Fields
03:47
|

You know it’s worth a try
to dive off the tight rope
to fall down and shake the earth
to courageously unsheathe your heart
attempt to be start-like
Invisible fields
With eye's always watching
Cut out the middle man
silver chord pulsing
The afterlife seems to know how to party
Bone dance with me to the full moon
Rising
Black Gulfs
Dead Starts
only live behind my eyes
Yeah there’s a fire inside
But it’s not the spark of life
Black Gulfs
Dead Stars
only live behind my eyes
You know it’s worth a try
to carve out some precious time
to slam down hammer to anvil
to breathe in, to breathe out
disperse the black cloud
Immortalized
Buried Alive
Frozen in Time
Immortalized

Bleak Prospects

I feel sick
what time is it?
The sunrise always looks so hateful
I'm used to it
I’ve climbed out of many a car wreck
falling down never looked so graceful
I’ve changed my alchemical form
I’m not the same equation I was before
If I make it out of this one I swear
I’ll finally change myself for the better
But I’m a Good Virus, I’ll lead you all the way to the Big One
The Body always comes to collect all the checks that The Spirit can’t cash
I found my younger tongue in a shoebox under my bed
There’s no perfect way it said
There’s no perfect way for this happen
there’s no perfect way
I feel sick
what time is it?
That sunrise always looks so hateful
I'm used to it
I’ve climbed out of many car wrecks
But falling down never looked so graceful
My black starts rise
I mummify
I cower at the sunlight
still, cower at the sunlight

Only a Candle
03:45

I’ll find my own way
through that dark arcade
only a candle to light my way
don’t follow
Where there are monsters lurking in the shadows
while the garroter waits by the gallows
Where all our heroes turn out to be liars
where all my dreams stagnate, expire
My minds been turning
down wrong streets again
my eyes are rolling
in the back of my head
don’t follow
I’ll find my own way
Where there are monsters lurking in the shadows
while the garroter waits by the gallows
Where all our heroes turn out to be liars
where all my dreams stagnate, expire
I touch the mirror
I feel my skin
while my reflection
is crumbling
my heart is burning
its not pretend
the vortex spirals
pulling me in
“Children will always be afraid of the dark,
and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse
will always tremble at the thought
of hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life
which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars,
or press hideously our own globe
in unholy dimensions
which only the dead and the moonstruck can glimpse.”
Ive got a restless tongue
licking my teeth
try to find the rotted one
pluck out the rotted one
Ive got a restless tongue
turning to dust
try to find that rotted one
i no longer trust
I tried to burn the book
but the pages never took

The Singing Flame
06:42

In my shunned house
under sheets of iron
I wait dead but dreaming
I wait dead but dreaming
it would take the strength
of forgotten titans
just to lift my these withered limbs
just to lift my heavy head
I seemed to have gone down with the wreck
of shattered worlds
down toward
some infra stellar pit
an ultimate limbo
where planet shards
and their solar systems
collapse inside themselves
I know that Hell is real
I found it in myself
The Flame
It sings
Traverse
Give up your name
Traverse
To a higher plane
Skin and brain
incinerate
but the Spirit
Remains
On this doomed planet
under strange stars
am I awake or dreaming?
I must be dreaming
It would take the will
of elder wizards
to resist this sirens song
stringing me along
I seemed to have gone down with the wreck
of shattered worlds
down toward
some infra stellar pit
an ultimate limbo
where planet shards
solar systems
collapse into them self
I know now that hell is real
I found it in myself
The Flame
It sings
Traverse
Give up your name
Traverse
to a higher plane
Skin and brain
incinerate
but the spirt
still remains
the song stung
like a lure
hooked through my soul
like an icicle
I must follow
I must follow

Catacomb Bones
02:16
|
|

|
I found your stone
in the back row
I dug way down
found your catacomb
It's lonely in my coffin
I’m down here so often
with your Catacomb Bones
Life has truly lost its luster
and I’ve given all the strength I can muster
It’s useless as a touched moths wing
Fearless embers, phoenix rising

Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul.

Mike Patton is a vocal genius, Tomahawk are the great American hope for all bands to aspire to and this album just speaks to so many generations, clever well written music and sounds amazing.

The clear leaders in doomgaze after Artic Sleep went another direction. Short but sweet, the EP sets a new standard. A grant listen.

Fuzzy Austin trio follow up their first album in 20 years, released in Spring 2015, with a stomping new EP of noisy rock & roll.

Dissonant punk rock with an undercurrent of jubilance that puts noise and dynamics up front.

Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great!
