Fleetingly the fallen flash
like floods before my eyes
Memories so mesmerizing
morbidly demise
Run, forever fear
for nothing fills your life but lies
Doomed we are to fall and face
the death that never dies
Poison, pale and putrid
plagues the preacher’s words
Screams of silence rip the skin
of voices never heard
First came fear, second anger
darkness waits the third
Now lament your loss
of life through lines
forever blurred
Caves of craven creatures crawl
from cracks inside your mind
Blackness bleeds from broken hearts
that bonds may never bind
In this sleep surrender souls
that safety cannot find
Those who cannot see this burning
surely must be blind
Bear witness, take heed
this tower soon will fall
And here I find you resting
in the shadow of its wall
See you not the coming fire
hear you not its call
Doomed we are to face
the darkness one and all
With deathlike shadows at our side

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
