Spud Sorceress
Wucan know what they’re doing. Hard-hitting hard rock full of groove and soul that really evolves the sound they’ve developed. Stunning vocals, funky bass lines and style out the wazoo.
It was particularly fun being in the chat for their Listening Party/Instagram livestream!! …so i’ll forgive them for breaking “tradition” and not finishing with a 10+ minute saga or two ;)
Favorite track: Wicked, Sick And Twisted.

As is well known, true art is characterized above all by its constant renewal – a combination of the tried and tested with the innovative. Like nearly all influential acts in music history who have followed this golden rule, Dresden-based Wucan demonstrate their capacity for artistic evolution with their latest album, Axioms. On Axioms, the four-piece heavy rock outfit led by frontwoman Francis Tobolsky blends the distinctive elements of their previous studio records – Sow The Wind (2015), Reap The Storm (2017), and Heretic Tongues (2022) – with fresh ideas, resulting in a broader stylistic range and a more clearly defined conceptual approach. In other words: while the band continues to reference hard rock, krautrock, East German rock, and metal, the eight new tracks are also infused with touches of progressive rock, isolated electronic elements, and a playful jazz attitude. Or as Francis aptly puts it: “The foundation of our music is international 70s hard rock enriched by contemporary influences – this time with even more bombast, brutality, and complexity.”

Spectres Of Fear
04:00
|
|||
|
See where the path has led you,
Over the horizon, down the abyss and into the fire,
And it‘ll get you,
Down on your knees, pray your angel is set to conspire,
I won‘t force you,
Gaze into the flames, understand the turn is now mine.
Ounces and carats, take a look, what you leave behind,
Come take a ride on the wings of may and might,
You’ve been chased by the spectres of fear.
Behold the gates close on you,
The gardens you have watered and you‘ve failed to shepherd your land,
And I‘ll come down,
Reigning over you, sable and pearl and reach out my hand,
Will you trust me?
Pay for your sing and your wish shall be my command.
Ounces and carats, take a look what you leave behind.
I‘ll see you ride on your path through the skies.
A gift from the past, the tear of a traitor, redeem yourself,
Lost in the glare, in loving devotion, beyond repair,
I‘m gonna chain you down, trial by fire.
Ounces and carats, take a look what you leave behind,
Come take a ride on the wings of may and might,
I‘ll shelter you, from the fangs of the spectres of fear.

Irons In The Fire
04:05
|
|||
|
Oh …
Borrowed from the earth realm,
I was forged in blazing flames.
The blow of the hammer, sweat beads
I put an echo to my name.
Oh,
in more ways than one
A blacksmith of the stars
Lead me to reason, don't fear
And watch the astral choirs
And if you ever walk in doubt,
Put your irons in the fire
Oh,
in more ways than one
A blacksmith of the stars
„badabababababababadabadabadabaa
bada ba ba ba ba ba ba ba badaba da bahaa“
Oh, with his hammer and tonges, he shapes, he forges and forms
and the sparks fly up and the tales light the sky up above
endless, forever relentless,
countless little lights and it makes you wonder why
you can't keep up the fire.
„Brrrrrrrja!“
Guitar Solo
Theremin Solo
Oh, Oh, Oh
in more ways than one
A blacksmith of the stars
And if you ever walk in doubt
Put your irons in the fire

Wicked, Sick And Twisted
05:38
|

|
It‘s wicked, sick and twisted, how you do me,
My mother told me feelings must be felt,
You love so hard, you got me on my knees, babe,
I‘m at your mercy, don‘t you understand.
You, got your flames on the line, leather on hot thighs,
On your mind tonight,
A case of desire, so raw, untamed.
You put me in chains, I thought my pride would never fade,
A burnt child fears the fire, I‘m a woman, don‘t you know,
I guess that‘s why I can‘t let go.
It‘s wicked, sick and twisted, how you do me,
My mother told me feelings must be felt,
You love so hard, you got me on my knees, babe,
I‘m at your mercy, don‘t you understand.
You, won‘t get caught in your lies, it‘s the devil‘s work,
The tables must turn,
What a shame if she knew all your twisted ways,
You put me in chains, you cuff me time and time again,
A burnt child fears the fire, Im a woman as you know,
I guess that‘s why I can‘t let go.
Two survivors in a dreamscape, I know it would be good,
Give all your sweet lovin‘ to me, do it as you should.
I‘ll take you to the highest (stars), I‘ll kiss the rays and let you fall.
Two bold liars in a dreamscape, up no good,
Give all your sweet lovin‘ to me, do it as you should.
I‘ll take you to the highest (stars), I‘ll kiss the rays and let you fall.
You, a case of desire, so raw untamed,
You put me in chains, baby I‘m changed,
You, what a shame, if she knew all your twisted ways,
You put me in chains, a feeling we share.

Farm some time, watch it grow,
How blessed we are to be in the know,
Rainbow drops, mirror glaze,
News roll in, are you fazed and again,
Does it hurt, now and then,
Lovely stories on end. Time well-spent,
Magic cure, fix the tease,
got the West in a fever dream.
KTNSAX, KTNSAX, KTNSAX
Spearhead tongue, ugly hiss,
don’t you dare say we are built for this,
Tapping gun, might as well.
Cartridge blank, can you tell?
KTNSAX, KTNSAX, KTNSAX
War to the huts,
Peace in palaces,
f you want to be spared,
KTNSAX
If you want to spare your life
Farm some time, harvest in,
How blessed we are to be ignorant,
Rainbow drops, mirror glaze,
Hand, head, heart far away

Holz Auf Holz
03:58
|

|
Die Flammen geh‘n von Holz auf Holz,
Kein Kopf, der noch ungescho‘n,
Traust du dich nicht hinzuhör‘n,
Von Holz auf Holz.
Fingerzeug hat weit und breit,
Noch keinen kranken Mann geheilt,
Glaubst du mir nicht?
Siehst du nicht die Zeichen,
Die sind doch klar!?
Wo ist der Ort, an dem du ruhst,
Leg‘ deine Waffen nieder,
Wenn‘s keiner klagt, ist‘s kein Betrug,
Ein Rädchen im Getriebe,
Die Herzen melden ihre Macht.
Die Flammen geh‘n von Holz auf Holz,
Kein Kopf, der noch ungescho‘n,
Traust du dich nicht hinzuhör‘n,
Von Holz auf Holz.
Große Tore sind in Sicht,
Acht‘ worauf dein Auge blickt,
Treib‘ die Faulen vor dir her,
Von Holz auf Holz.
Die Hände sind zur Faust geballt,
Und Reue stirbt im Hinterhalt,
Glaubst du mir nicht?
Die Massen melden ihre Macht.
Die Flammen geh‘n von Holz auf Holz,
Kein Kopf, der noch ungescho‘n,
Traust du dich nicht hinzuhör‘n,
Von Holz auf Holz.
Große Tore sind in Sicht,
Acht‘ worauf dein Auge blickt,
Treib‘ die Faulen vor dir her,
Von Holz auf Holz.

Pipe Dreams
04:40
|

|
Fever in a pipe dream has got me shaking,
Caught up in a mind game, my body aching,
We keep marching on to no destination,
Spread your gifts on us, the nation‘s thristy.
Burnt battle fields,
Spectres of fear,
A handful of teeth.
Brothers in the chase.I swear by simple words and im all up in arms,
Countless men have fallen and where is your vow now?
Brothers in the chase.
The absolution looms, I‘ll die with my guns,
In times off turmoil we‘re the last surviving ones.
Brothers in the chase.
Hang your head, won‘t you hang your head in shame at such disgrace,
It‘s a losing, it‘s a losing game if we, if we hang our heads in shame.

Axioms
06:01
|

|
You won‘t find me where you left me,
Not shielded from the wrong,
Put down your knife now,
I bore it for too long.
And out in the distance,
I see a face so strange and yet so close.
I‘ve known you for much longer,
Than l‘ve known myself,
Am I the one to choose now?
Keeper of my path.
And out in the distance,
I see a face so strange and yet so close.
You won‘t find me where you left,
A keeper of my path,
Axioms make the man.

Fountain Of Youth
07:16
|
|||
|
How come the seasons change so fast,
Weren‘t we all just birthed?
Now begging for a jour de depart,
No stone cast first.
Oh a giver not to keep,
Strangled in a brother‘s hand,
Divided in vain, united by a dream,
To keep a moment for eternity.
Fountain of youth, that‘s where we seek the truth.
How many more seasons to pass?
When are we being birthed?
Burn the hours, work against the clock,
Tame the tides and make them yours, yeah,
A spark so bright, so innate to me,
Ready to explode.
I‘m on a quest, prophecy to unfold,
Chisle down until it shows.
Whose eyes see you, whose hands built you,
But your own?
What a circus, what a spectacle,
Our game must go on,
Today has just begun.
An old strain, lilting in my ears,
Nothing new to fear, under the sun,
Is that an a memory, in the elders‘ song,
Tomorrow‘s just begun.
Are we getting closer, to the ones we will become, hey.
Time permitting we get, nothing but a long shot at the chase,
Gotta Keep the yarn moving, through the spinning wheel of chance.
The hours that we burn,
The seasons that must turn,
And we keep getting closer to the ones we will become.
Whose eyes see you, whose hands built you,
But your own?
What a circus, what a spectacle,
Our game must go on,
Today has just begun.

about
In short: the job is done. After a three-year creative process, heavy rock band Wucan have produced 'Axioms', a new album that showcases the band’s characteristic artistic ingenuity while continuing the transformation first hinted at on the latest album 'Heretic Tongues' – and pushing those ideas even further.
As is well known, true art is characterized above all by its constant renewal – a combination of the tried and tested with the innovative. Like nearly all influential acts in music history who have followed this golden rule, Wucan demonstrate their capacity for artistic evolution with their new album, 'Axioms'. On 'Axioms', the four-piece heavy rock outfit led by frontwoman Francis Tobolsky blends the distinctive elements of their previous studio records – 'Sow The Wind' (2015), 'Reap The Storm' (2017), and 'Heretic Tongues' (2022) – with fresh ideas, resulting in a broader stylistic range and a more clearly defined conceptual approach. In other words: while the band continues to reference hard rock, krautrock, East German rock, and metal, the eight new tracks are also infused with touches of progressive rock, isolated electronic elements, and a playful jazz attitude. Or as Francis Tobolsky aptly puts it: “The foundation of our music is international 70s hard rock enriched by contemporary influences – this time with even more bombast, brutality, and complexity.”

This Heathen Land
by GREEN LUNGsupported by 42 fans who also own “Axioms”
This Heathen Land by Green Lung has hit all the right spots for hard rock, doom metal sub genre. It felt like being in a musical theatre playing a part of a journey into an Albion Occult. Mood, production, lyrics and composition for how the tracks here played out is phenomenal for British metal. Fun Epic folklore from shadow side of church, land, sky and deep oceans of time. Every track here has a different style of music. All of them equally fun to hear. This Heathen Land does not disappoint.
