lyrics

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

about

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+... rick-taylor

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. Harry Harrison

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. frankwurst
