They will deceive you
unappealingly release
The last breath held to heal you
given seeds to soil disease
In constant isolation
lock your doors
and shut your blinds
In lifeless mitigation
as the plague seeps
from your mind
Awaken in a bed of thorns
the howling of the wind
A call from the horns
eyes of the goat watching me
The tales of the sick
comes with disaster
As the wraith comes with its trick
to lure sinful men
As a craven I fled
My humanity left behind
Picking up the trail
of my inevitable demise
Lost in the haze
cursing my fate
lacking a will to forgive
Devoid of all rest
I can’t save myself
from the impending doom
I lay in chain
I wail in pain
I scream of regret
My words is disease
I kneel and I pledge
Casting a shadow as I leave
In the pale moonlight
my skin turns grey
My mind cannot fathom the ruin
into the fray
OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2022
