lyrics

THE ADVENTURER

Wrapped in an angels wings
The devil burning at my bones
Heaven's dirty fingers
Scratchin' at the door to my soul

I'm flyin' so high
My feet are barely touching the ground
I'm wide awake and dreaming
Take me up and tear me down

Being without limit
Being here and yet so far
A double sided promise
Changing everything that you are

Come unto the Genie
Come unto your deepest desire
A deep dark magic
Burning with a cold, cold fire
A trickster blaze
Burning with a cold, cold fire

THE DIVIDE

I hear a simple song that sings to me
I see it's beauty and it's certain persuasion
I taste the numbers and they colour me like wine
Onto myself
I am the way

The hunter's song has been sung too long
In the halls of the ones who would lead us
The dogs of war will never settle the score
While their feeder's hand seeks to bleed us

With electric tongue and meaty hand
The giant rules from the shadows
Where the sheeple dream of a life beyond

Promising eternity it's belly full of lives
It hungers to be sated by the feast
Pointing to their Darwin and the evoluting man
In the dark, they conspire with the beast

A journey of the mind is not a journey of the flesh
Meaning isn't met beneath the cowl
Still the sheeple sing of something more beyond

I heard a simple song that sang to me
I saw it's beauty from a certain persuasion
I tasted numbers and they colored me like wine
I felt so fine
I feel so fine
I'm just fine
I feel just fine

Here like frost inside the soul of a sun
Fierce as lightning we dream like the seas
Stories untold, unfold and come to teach my name
Onto myself
I am the Way

Excellent classic metal. Feels like it was literally picked from the mid-70's. Classic ©ough©ool

If you like music that’s even remotely heavy, this EP is for you. It’s hard rock, heavy metal, doom metal, stoner rock, and so much more. My only question is this: WHEN WILL SONIC MEDUSA RECORD AGAIN? Kirk Gauthier

Changes Happen To Everyone, Everywhere

Recorded in a shipping container, the Australian artist's quirky second album is a love letter to 70’s classic rock, folk, and psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023

I can’t believe I’m just now finding this band. I lucked into finding them by reading an old interview with The Skull members Eric Wagner, Ron Holzner, and Jeff Olson (All three formerly of Trouble, too). They’ve been broken up for almost a decade now. Such a shame; they should have and still should be HUGE! The vocalist has some amazing pipes! If you listen to the first song and don’t buy it, it’s quite possible you have zero taste when it comes to heavy music. Jason Gilbert
