The Fool

We live in a hellworld
Or so you say
Con men claim
that you long for yesterday
What’s your anger?
Is it real?
Who’s jingoistic, foolish words did you steal?
Succumb to a lower vibration
Killing off a generation
You gave it away
It’s your life
Running out of time
You’ll never get it back
Your mind is poison
It’s far too late
Though there’s an antidote
You’d rather trust the snakes
You always will be
Have always been
Cannon fodder sent to die for richer men
Return my life to me
It’s my sacrifice
You have been given this
And it’s your last chance
You made your bet and look
How now it is killing you
This is a broken world you’ve inherited
And what you choose to do will be
Your sad legacy
This is a broken world we’ve inherited
And what we choose to do will be
Our legacy
You played The Fool
For their regimes
You mouthed the words
And dashed your dreams
There is no one else to blame
Beating your chest as the world goes up in flames

Fortune's Wheels

Early memories are making me feel
That I’m not bound to what I’ve been given
Calafia, I turn westward to you
Your paradise is calling me
Are you all that you claim to be?
I want to live and breathe more easily
Manifest and trip on dreams
Eat the honey, taste the cream
Take a ride on Fortune’s motorbike
She’s the realest bitch on wheels
When she smiles take her deal
Used to want to die
‘cause somebody’s truth was my lie
The night is black velvet
Take my ego and shelve it
Different landscapes, higher stakes
Any luck is what you make

Plateau

Look up at the steep, red climb
In the stars there could be a sign
Now I wish my heart would shine
It’d make me easier to find
Crooked corner in me
Is tripping my singing sting
Crisis calls to bring me back to higher ground
Yet it feels good to be down somehow
If it happened I know what I’d do
Fill the tank and drive until
The week is through
In the lake in the valley
Do you see your pain reflected to you?
Look deeper and you’ll see me
Holding the stones that sink to the bottom
In the shadow
My love is taking root
The revival
The season bearing fruit
In a lifetime
Emitting from your womb
The reminder
Following you to the tomb
There is nowhere
To turn but there’s
Something to learn
To be grounded
Or leave it all behind?
My hopes go up
From my core to the rind
Did you salvage
All you could of something good?
The smoke goes up
Making ashes of “would”

Seein’ inside of you and you and you
To tell you the truth you’re afraid to see me
I am the Phoenix
I am the Whip
Domina Magna Inamorata
Do what most of ya won’t do
Do what you’re not willing to
Playin’ your role under my heel
But we both know I’m workin’ for you
Give ‘em a show
Build ‘em up real good
Taking the reins
And getting paid
How can you ignore
What we both know?
I am not your
Service top
Is it worth it
To give it up?
Who loses more?
Seekin’ and living a dream that’s coming true
Ready yourself to fall into the web
You don’t even
Know what you need
A breakthrough will come
For both you and me

Excerpts From a Future Past
by Hällas
Hällas is the prog rock band we've been waiting for. Very few bands pull off being both deep and catchy but these guys nail it. Like Wishbone Ash on a video game quest. Stunning.

The Occultation Of Light
by Mondo Drag
It's so rad to be good friends with musicians you truly admire. We love walking by MD's practice space and hear them craft their breathtaking tunes. This album rips. Can't wait for the next one dudes.

Modern Kicks for the Solitary Witch
by Rough Spells
A new ripping coven has emerged from the Great North and they're called "Rough Spells". Some of the most magnificent doom rock we've heard in a long time. Can't wait to play a show with these folks.

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder
supported by 42 fans who also own “Promo 2018”
This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like.

RAVENING IRON

Fekin tasty riffs and sexeh vocals. Epic.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.
