Legends told of misfortune disasters and plagues
Written off as undeserved subjugated as their slaves
Living lives in servitude desperate for a king
The defeated place their hope on the shadow of a dream
A heart made of paper and a soul cut out of tin
Intrepid man steps forward to roll the stone of Sisyphus
Destined to fail
Determined not to try
Surrender
In the dark of the night where evil decides the fate of the faithless
A throne occupied by destruction's child comes into visions
Surrounded in flesh in blood he is drenched so the damned may be forgiven
And for every life taken by his knife another has risen
The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
I can’t believe I’m just now finding this band. I lucked into finding them by reading an old interview with The Skull members Eric Wagner, Ron Holzner, and Jeff Olson (All three formerly of Trouble, too). They’ve been broken up for almost a decade now. Such a shame; they should have and still should be HUGE! The vocalist has some amazing pipes! If you listen to the first song and don’t buy it, it’s quite possible you have zero taste when it comes to heavy music. Jason Gilbert
The hard rock band recorded this session live at KXLU 88.9FM in Los Angeles and it's now exclusively available on Bandcamp. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 27, 2020
For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
