House of the Righteous
[Verse]
Behind an ancient gate
with warning inscriptions
passing sightless shapes
that scream in desperation
there lies a skyline made of fire
Abandon all hope who enter here
Vitriolic grimaces emerge from muddy waters
Vision obscured by black mist
Abandon all hope who enter here
Giant serpent creatures
slowly morphing into one
contorted faces twisted backwards
Images created in the house of the righteous
[Chorus]
Oh won’t you follow me down
Say won’t you follow me down

Gravity
[Verse]
Far away, high above
from where everything seems trivial
a ray of shadows rushes by
without noticing me here
darkish red slowly turning blue
[Chorus]
I cannot retain
these sensations in me
and I realize
gravity slowly pulls me down
[Verse]
My fingertips sweep through mile-long meadows
the sunrise comes melting down
from up here I grasp everything
and forget it right away
[Chorus]
[Verse]
I rest my head on this tranquility
distant screams gently susurrate
I close my eyes to catch sight of all the subtleties
the ground I stand on was created from melodies
that are familiarly unknown
I am granted invincibility
for a fraction of time
[Chorus]

Kronos
[Verse]
A brute force awakened at the dawn of existence
its everlasting grip is equally effective on priests and non-believers
No judgment, no ethics, disregarding the skeptics
the path that it is choosing can never be altered by human sets of values
No gadgets are helping to measure the dynamics
every attempt to take over control is foredoomed to instant failure
extinction, devastation, bringing an end to entire nations
there are no restraints it crosses all borders and always marches forward
[Chorus]
Origin of all
Demise for everyone
Ready to fall
Neverending run
[Verse]
The scale of every action is dwarfed by its mighty presence
for every damage done it holds out the prospect of encompassing cleansing
Like a river it is flowing, never stopping, ever growing
by breaking every dam and shredding all barriers it flushes away rememberance
[Bridge]
Every rule can be shifted
There is no option to predict it
all-embracing, all forsaking
an impact that’s never fading
despite its ever-presence and our awareness it remains forever nameless
[Chorus]

The Mind’s Eye
[Verse]
The door closed
and brought in the darkness
I don’t know how long I’ve been here
longing for everything and nothing at once
the only clear sensation is a hammering in my head
[Bridge]
I’m at their mercy
What do they want?
I’m at their mercy
What will they do?
[Chorus]
No light
Am I alone?
I hear voices
Or is it my own?
[Verse]
The door closed
and brought in the silence
shadows move around as if to mock me
I feel a hole opening beneath me
but I can’t tell if I’m falling
[Bridge]
I’m at their mercy
What will they do?
I’m at their mercy
What do they want?
[Chorus]
[Verse]
They kick the door in
light pierces my eyes
they drag me through a hallway
and throw me on a chair
they ask me questions
but all I can say
is I can’t remember
and I don’t know my name

The Elephant
He sits majestically
on his lotus throne
His appearance unblemished
despite imperfections
personified modesty
insatiable hunger for joy
advocate of progress
offspring of destruction and fertility
a leader to success
a challenger that puts you to the test
infuriated by disrespect
He stands impatiently
amidst his lotus throne
wielding an ax in his hand
be prepared, be prepared

Dare Mighty Things
[Verse]
Riding through this awe-inspiring desert
swirling up red sand as I go
surrounded by nothing but endless wasteland
yet I see opportunity in this solitude
[Bridge + Chorus]
I hear the wind force increasing
the war god announces a blizzard
I won’t let this break my spirit
so I tell myself to
Dare mighty things
[Verse]
Slowly I am making my way
out of Jezero Crater
singing dunes compose songs of humming and screeching
all these impressions arouse my curiosity
[Bridge + Chorus]
this travel demands perseverance
so I tell myself to
Dare mighty things
[Verse]
Below me there is only dead soil
rivers that once flourished dried out long ago
the sun slowly sank beneath the horizon
it’s getting hard to move on in this icy drought

Emperors Lair Frankfurt, Germany
Stoner Doom with Psychedelic influences. Fuzzy guitar and bass, clear vocals, heavy drums and weird synhesizers. When you hear the phrase "slow heavy metal music playing", it's actually us.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

This is colossal. I’ve been enjoying these guys for years but this album is next level. They seemed to have found their stride & it’s a biggin’. I feel that they’re heading into the Groove/Rock Genre of Clutch but still carry that epic, larger-than-life sound you’d expect from Zeppelin or later era Soundgarden. Their sound is tighter than a fish’s ass (and that’s water tight) & whatever these guys are doing; I’m loving it. And…the vocals are so, so, so good! I’m excited for their next outing.

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.
