The news anchor reads his cue card. Tension so thick lingers in the air One finger pressed upon that trigger Mister press that button if you fucking dare. Broadcast tragedy from far over seas casting stones at one another Amidst their suffering. Calamity, Blood flows to the sea. Conflicts over land and oil amidst this suffering. T-minus countdown to extinction. One million rockets take flight in the air. The news anchor says don’t panic. The screaming masses don’t seem to care. Broadcast tragedy from far over seas casting stones at one another Amidst their suffering. Calamity, Blood flows to the sea. Conflicts over land and oil amidst this suffering.

The air was hot as the gates opened wide. To celebrate debachury’s decadent sin. Orchestrating the righteous mans ruin accepting a false lord and inviting him in. High priest takes command upon the stage. In Tongues they speak throughout the night. Death comes easy if you just close your eyes And proceed willfully into the light. Ritualistic blood sacrifice Covered by the blood of the lamb. Ritualistic blood sacrifice Forever this earth will be dammed. The sacred virgin set free from her chains. The definition of desire carnal sin. Unholy union of flesh intertwined. Raising hands to hail satan. Spilling virgin blood, in ceremonial death Baphomet praise held on high. Lucifer’s son soon enters the world And every body dies. Ritualistic blood sacrifice Covered by the blood of the lamb. Ritualistic blood sacrifice Forever this earth will be dammed. **Instrumental break** Ritualistic blood sacrifice Covered by the blood of the lamb. Ritualistic blood sacrifice Forever this earth will be dammed. Blindly following the fallen one Leading to all mankind’s doom. Power and greed leads to death Sealing our eternal tomb.

Dead Rats 03:05
My dreams haunt me as I slumber. Retelling details of the crime. And as I signed the affidavit. Sealing their fate and securing mine. There’s a place. Far below. Filled with Hellfire and brimstone. And it’s there.. Where rats go to die. Dead rats tell no lies. I locked myself inside a bathroom A paranoia to survive. As I ran, trying not to stumble I had sealed their fate, trying to escape mine. There’s a place. Far below. Filled with Hellfire and brimstone. And it’s there.. Where rats go to die. Dead rats tell no lies. Tell no lies. Tell no lies. Tell no lies. Tell no lies. **Overly self indulgent guitar solo** In a hail of Chicago lightning All because I dropped the dime. When the button man doth cometh. I had sealed my fate with Colombian necktie. There’s a place. Far below. Filled with Hellfire and brimstone. And it’s there.. Where rats go to die. Dead Rats tell no lies.

Lost in travel through galactic space. Voyage without direction or haste. Trapped in gravity of magnetar Pulsating light from nearest star. Holy mount’ temple on high Ancients flown through the sky Techno religious advances Alien, God or man. All hail. Black holes event horizon exceed Colonizing all of darkest reach. Pyramids erected as worship point. Built by apes sky god appoints. Holy mount’ temple on high Ancients flown through the sky Techno religious advances Alien, God or man. All hail.

There’s a man who Always dressed in black Walked with a shotgun Strapped to his back Hangmans noose was laid by his head But if you crossed him You’d wind up dead Chorus: Ain’t laying down In no grave Misdeeds were done Knowing that Jesus saves As a wind Cross meadows blow Hung at the gallows Circled by murder of crow Early Sunday Morning When he got home Greeted by his woman Naked and not alone. A loaded pistol Drunk at the time. Speed, gunpowder, whiskey Bloodstains and cheap red wine. Chorus: Ain’t laying down In no grave Misdeeds were done Knowing that Jesus saves So tell me, a wind Cross meadows blow Hang’em high at the gallows Circled by murder of crow Solo Chorus: Ain’t laying down In no grave Misdeeds were done Knowing that Jesus saves As a wind Cross meadows blow Hung at the gallows Circled by murder of crow Outro I Laid down In my grave. Misdeeds, I trust I’ll burn in hell anyway But tell me, the wind Cross meadow blow I was hung high at the gallows Circles by a murder of crow.

Iron Lung 08:00
Shining palace gates await high across the cosmic sky. Awoken neon cyclops relives a smoke filled suicide. Twilight vagabond casts a curse on him, forsaken tongue. Pillars of smoke enter deep into the iron lung. Soil of the dying planet rusts away the stems and seeds. Naked holy witch preforms a sacred Iommic Creed. Interstellar cosmonaut trembles beside the broken bong. Pillars of smoke no longer enter the iron lung. Depression and desperation inside the minds eye. Ancient Holy text to seek a truth as the riff dies. Following the sound until the scared bongs travel done Pillars of smoke someday re-enter the iron lung. Luna, eclipse the darkness when we’re no longer alone Astrocreedsman now breaths downward ‘til he’s stoned. His blackened blood perishes behind the comet’s fog. Pillars of smoke enter deep into the iron lung.

Wandering across this wasteland wondering when I will go It’s been three days since I’ve eaten Buzzards circle in droves You see it’s death that’s getting out easy. Maybe you and I that have picked the bones You see it’s death that’s getting out easy. Surviving in the darkness and all alone. Now I’m Stranded Sun rains on down its barrage Water so near I can taste it Death lays ahead in mirage You see it’s death that’s getting out easy. Maybe you and I that have picked the bones You see it’s death that’s getting out easy. Surviving in the darkness and all alone.

Throwing stones at a glass house just to bring it down. Tornado whirlwind will spin you around around round Mother fucking force of nature, oh can feel it’s hatred. burning in it’s soul until your buried six feet in the ground. Chorus: I’m a rolling thunder Tear the world asunder I’m a rolling thunder Here to put you under I’m a rolling thunder Pillage and plunder I’m a rolling thunder And I’m not than the sun There’s a need to burn and salt the fucking bones Laid to rest and fucking buried all on its own Bastard golden terror, oh the lord of anger Burning here in your soul until you’ve fucking atoned Chorus: I’m a rolling thunder Tear the world asunder I’m a rolling thunder Here to put you under I’m a rolling thunder Pillage and plunder I’m a rolling thunder And I’m not than the sun

Scream Alive 03:25
Two black eyes behind these battle scars scraping along had only got me this far. Ain’t no way in hell that I’m going back there. I’d Take you along if you held onto my hand But you stab in me back any chance that you can. Just more of the same bull shit in the end. Yeah Scream out loud if you feel like I do. Scream alive, can you hear me? We’re the breaking the cycle For the last time this is the end.. Dragging my knuckles through this broken glass. Breaking my back as I bust my ass, yeah. Ain’t no way hell that were going back there. You’d never give me out a helping hand If i was buried to my neck in fucking quick sand. Just more of the same shit in the end. Scream out loud, if you feel like i do Scream Alive, can you hear me? Breaking the cycle for the last time in the end. (Solo) Scream out loud, if you feel like i do Scream Alive, can you hear me? Breaking the cycle for the last time in the end. Scream alive if you feel like I do.

about

—————————————————————

“This whole thing started as a response to COVID 19 and the ensuing lockdowns. A creative outlet to keep our minds focused on something outside of work. This album is the culmination of two and a half years of jamming. I consider this one part best of album and one part our official debut album. Hell, we are even pressing this bitch to a short run of CDs. We’ve learned a lot over the last two and a half years. How to play in a band setting with Herman and Andres for instance. How to jam remotely via the internet after Herman moved a crossed the state. How to record music in a DIY setting. That’s why for our debut we have chosen a cross section of our material. What we feel is the cream of the crop, i.e. most streamed, list of songs. We’ve re-recorded several of these pieces with said knowledge for our trails and errors. We have trimmed the fat from some of these tracks that were 12 plus minutes long. We had to learn how to mix songs and how to master these mixes because frankly when we started this project we had no fucking clue how to record a DIY record. These are 13 tracks that summarizes our work thus. Some slow and heavy hitting Sabbathian inspired doom (Ritual Blood Sacrifice and Iron Lung), some slow haunting jukes (Cryptkeeper and Blackheart) and some loud hard rocking riffs (Scream Alive, Dead Rats, Broadcast Tragedy). Blazing peaks and chill valleys people. We aren’t some one trick pony stuck on one genre. We enjoy listening to multiple genres of music and more importantly playing multiple genres of music. Maybe it’s musical ADHD? But I hope that everyone enjoys this shit and picks up a physical copy. Hell we will even sign copies upon request.”

- Joshua “HuskY” Stanard

“When Husky and myself started jamming, we had no idea it would evolve into a full band with a CD release. We didn’t think we would get our song “Blackheart” played on Australian radio station Valley 89.5 FM or “Ritual Blood Sacrifice” played on the Capital Doom radio show on DC’s 94.3 FM. We didn’t think that we’d have thousands of streams or hundreds in sale via Bandcamp. We started this for shits and giggles. But I appreciate that we have fans that actually enjoy our music. Whether it’s doom metal or stoner rock. Thrash metal or grunge. We try not being a one and done sort of band. We’ve poured our blood, sweat, tears, beers into this. 13 songs that reflect our various musical influences. Clutch, The Sword, Sleep, Metallica, Alice In Chains. It was absolutely a blast to jam and write these songs. With that said, buy a copy. If you want it signed, I’m absolutely egotistical enough to do it.”

- Herman “UMÄD” Bronstien.

“I was told to write something for our upcoming LPs Bandcamp sales page…. It’s been fun playing with these guys. Buy this album. I have PTSD, rent to pay and a 30 can a day habit to pay.”

- Logan “Josephus” Andres
