The Crow

Warm water
Cold sunlight
Hard hearts of pure evening
Strong function
Non feeling
You move me
You cheat me
It’s a vanishing act of deceit
You extracise me
A wilful breach of the faith
You infantilise me
Proud father
Gone missing
In front of stark sunlight
Remorseful
Unheeding
Disgraceful
Dark greeting
When the second hand ticks by
When hope is fleeting
Another memory to deny
Desolation in sleeping
Bold mother
Still weeping
Your wonder
You’re teething
Take solace
In breathing
Cold water
Warm sunlight
I can see you from the sky
You seem so tiny
The heavy clouds drift by
Just don’t remind me
Short answers
Long kneeling
Inside out
Forgotten
Remember
For healing
Two sharp knives
One long night
All the lights are failing
All the world is sighing
All the children sleeping
All the crows are dying

The Wrath
Falling into dawn
The light is blinding
My eyes are seared open
This curse is binding
Crawling over bones
The sun is burning
Praying now for rain
Axis no longer turning
All the world afire
All the earth a grave
Foul sunlight
Where is the shade?
Upon this rock I scorch
Rays of endless hate
This cursed fucking torch
Nowhere in the shade
An endless dawning
I curse your name
And I dream of falling
I kneel and weep
Cos I miss the moon
Sometimes nothing so sad
As a sunny afternoon

The Tyrant
09:37
|
|||
|
I’m on a royal run
And I’m a goddamn speed freak
I’m the only one
With any sense of reason
A pinch of sell sword
And a world of violence
Cos I’m the only one
Who can see this vision
Bring me your alms
Lay them at my feet
And leave
Wing back and a snifter of cognac
Lean back and savour the moment
Mind black in a second of remorse
Push back and swallow the moment
I feel a vile strain
A pull from reason
Am I the only one
Who questions heathens
I can take them
Cos I’m a divine missive
And anyone who doubts me
Will never doubt again
You all now listen to me
My words are gospel
For only I can see
Cursed with vision
Black fire
Black ropes
Black hearts
Black hopes

Tyger Heart (Interlude)

There’s a message coming
That you don’t want to read
You know its meaning
You know its creed
And you can’t deny it
Can’t run away
You can’t divide it
Cos of what it says
You could run forever
Never looking back
You could sail the oceans
And the beaten track
But it’s always coming
Two steps behind
You can feel its presence
Know what it will find
And when the message finds you
You know what that means
That things are over
Or so it seems
The world is ending
Word by word
It’s already too late
Or so I’ve heard
Twist and turn
Crush and burn
Run and scream
Refuse to learn
Erase the past
The lie will last
The paint won’t crack
On the back of an outcast
I know the price we’re gonna pay…

The Snake
11:33
|
|||
|
Snake oiled hair embroiled
In a world of hope denial
Shock of red
Stains of rust
Broken face
Broken trust
Your purple patch is over
Lost face and run for cover
What it means to you
What it means to them
This rotten page
Will turn again
Despite the rage you dial
All smoke and empty style
Empty head
Empty heart
Your house of cards
Torn apart
A broken wrist is no good to me
A broken fist is nothing but skin and bone
Plans to take it all to black
Jesus armed and on your back
That ego soars
That vile course
The only thing you had was force
Shell of self
Selfish hell
Under the boards
A tale to tell
You’ll take it back
You’ll get it back
That fragile limb about to snap
I’ll see you soon
I’ll be there soon
Leave you cold as claret blooms
I’ll take your hand upon my chest
I’ll pray you never find the rest
Mark my words I’ll take you higher
Build your throne upon the pyre
On your ashes I will sit
On your ashes I will spit
Oh precious one
What have they done to you?

Under Tiden Jag Sålde Min Själ Till Satan
by DISPYT
We've been working with Dispyt's releases for a few years now and their constant quality is a fact. They deliver amazing releases and live shows. Great crust/d-beat & black/death metal vibe.

We had the privilege to feature Demonic Death Judge on Uprising 2. They are god damn intense stoner/doom from Finland with really catchy hooks to keep you interested.

När livet sa till mig att sluta
by Tvärnitad
Tvärnitad are a fierce hardcore punk band from Sweden with a very strong metal edge to it. We had the privilege to work with them on the Bob Malmström & Tvärnitad split 7". Strong stuff.

My first listen and it just didn't catch me like Audio Nior, but the EPs were a great slow burn so I'm trying again.

Sleep In Light
by Hundred Year Old Man
supported by 4 fans who also own “...And Then The Rains Came”
Magnus-Lindberg-mastered post-metal in the vein of The Moth Gatherer and co., but with spacey Ison-ish aesthetics. Has a nice fuzzy chunk in the middle to provide some respite. Not really treading unexplored grounds, but no misstep either.
