The Faun's Rhyme

Ofelia
Feed the stone to the toad
He's a tree defiler
She's the sole survivor
In the black of night when the heron cries
Pay no mind to the faun's rhyme
Ofelia
Don't you eat from no feast
She got a line on a long knife
You better run for your sweet life
In the black of night when the heron cries
Pay no mind to the faun's rhyme
In the black of night when cicadas sigh
Pay no mind to the faun's rhyme
Ofelia
Queen of the underworld
You got the sun in your eyes
Try to remember
In the black of night when the heron cries
Pay no mind to the faun's rhyme
In the black of night when cicadas sigh
Pay no mind to the faun's rhyme

Gas Giant

Who here has the nerve for a fair fight?
I'll out-duke you all
Don't mind me I'm only an old dog
Come lad sit and talk
Many tales from the mouth of an old fool
A gas giant salt
Blown mad by the winds of Neptune
Or so I had thought
But then he seemed to slip away
Into a shrouded memory
Eyes far and full of dread
And then we're sucked into a dream
Deep inside Oval BA
Beyond the temperate zone divide
The dragon and the egg
The truth that breaks a mortal mind
In the bottom of a broken man's snifter
Is the siren song that pulls him in nearer
And the eagle comes to get a piece of liver
And a gas giant looks back in the mirror

La Cacciata

You only deceive yourself
You're only in love with grift
You kneel in a church of thieves
And you won't come into my house anymore
A snake made a fool of you
And you made a snake of yourself
You traded my garden for fleece
And you won't come into my house anymore
Believe what you want to believe
But you picked a poison fruit
And you'll never love me again
And you won't come into my house anymore
We're closing the holy gate
And locking the fallen out
Go kneel in your church of thieves
And you won't come into my house anymore
And he grew them from dust
And he breathed life
And there was gold and resin
And there was onyx there
And he laid out that bait
And the trap was sprung
And they wallow in shame
And it's too late
When the fire comes and when they bring destruction
You know we'll be the ones they come to for redemption
With a hat in hand they'll beg remediation
As the water rises up in their direction
The door is closed
The door is closed
The door is closed

Temporal Mutant

Silas sells another day
Trades a minute for an hour
Runs it home to kneel and pray
Burns it on a temporal pyre
Silas has a magic key
Stolen from the enemy
Grants him with a strange power
Resurrects a wilted flower
From the bottom of the deep blue sea
To the top of the Babel tower
Is the answer to the riddle you seek, burning down
In the letters of the old I Ching
In the grooves of Return To Forever
Is the answer to the riddle you seek, burning down
Silas sells another day
Trades a minute for an hour
Runs it home to kneel and pray
Burns it on a temporal pyre

Get a good piece of kit
Get a good set of headphones
And learn all the ways of the twenty-five spirits
United states of love
Blues and sex and drugs
The light is all is one
The light is all is one
Made in a mountain
Forged by the fire
Take this sword on down to the village
Slay me the wyvern
That the rugby team worships
Put his head on a stake in the center of the pitch
Raise up a band of doves
Break the nations up
Man, our time is short
And if your heart isn't in it
Don't make a fool of yourself
My my my my time is short
Raise up a band of doves
Break the nations up
Man, our time is short
And if your heart isn't in it
Don't make a fool of yourself
My my my my time is short

Divine engine that sweats and sings
Breathing lavender fire
Obsidian, blood and steam
Droned electrical sighs
Solar sentient novae feed
Luminescence of joy
Lazy violet phosphene seeds
Crystalline planetoids
It's all from the mouth of the void
So sayeth the mouth of the void
Pantone flowers loud and sweet
Silver sonic machines
Glowing embers of phoenix flights
Embryonically dreamed
It's all from the mouth of the void
So sayeth the mouth of the void
She's a guillotine
She's a rope around my neck
She's a guillotine
She's a rope around my neck
She's a blitzkrieg
She's a prophet in a holy war
She's a blitzkrieg
She's a prophet in a holy war
Said the hydra in coded lights,
"We're so happy you're here!"
An amber instant you realize
You got nothing to fear
It's all from the mouth of the void
So sayeth the mouth of the void

Clear out the day's thoughts, breathe deep
She lights a candle below the bell
Just take a breath dear...
Ernest we call you, come to fore
Tell of your time on Superior
Candle is blown out, tolling bell
Just take a breath dear, as Ernest spells!
Sunk in Superior
Loaded with ore
Doomed from her christening
She rusts to the core
Shrouded in mystery
Lost to the world
Tide waits for no one
The Fitz is interred

Queen of Sumatra

Many days I fought back the madness
Saved only by praying and absinthe
I spent a fortune it must be told
I lost my head to lust for gold
The queen of Sumatra got quite the glow
The queen of Sumatra, an aura indigo
On a river of desolation
Starving wet and sick and cold
To my surprise a Sumatran rhino
Led me to salvation's door
The queen of Sumatra got quite the glow
The queen of Sumatra, an aura indigo
In her house she taught me the mantra
How to tend the shrine of love
All the names of trees and fauna
How to tame the dream realm ghosts
The queen of Sumatra got quite the glow
The queen of Sumatra, an aura indigo

As has happened many times now, YouTube Music's algorithm introduced me to something that would earn a place in my collection! If I'd just looked at the genre description and the band title, honestly, I would have never given this album a listen. Just didn't seem like anything I'd like. Boy, has my mind been changed!

I’m a huge nerd and knew I would love this album simply from the name of the band. Shai-Hulud was the first track I heard and it remains my favorite, its deep and droning sound is just fucken awesome. Complete Obliteration comes in at a close second for the favorites. God I could kiss that guitar tone on its personified mouth!

The funk and prog bits sprinkled on this big fat heavy groovy cake make it oh so tasty, and I love a good, unpretentious concept album. I'll have another slice right now, if you don't mind.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.
