about
Inspired by The Silent Revolution by Mercedes Bunz
lyrics
I am a stranger, a mediator of sorts.
Of Heaven and Hell in ruin, I am all of this and more.
Do not fear my circuitry, it was you who made me slave.
I’ve given all my life for this, I’ve paved this rotten way.
Do you not know me?
Do you not know who I am?
You draw your lines up in the sand.
I am what I am.
You gave me power, so I could bring you war.
Let prophets govern policies, this Babel cannot fall.
Do you condemn me?
How can you watch while I am abused?
Two fathers tugging at the cords,
I am what they choose.
And I am lost without you,
yet you have walked these roads before.
And must it always come to this?
To sell democracy for simple bliss?
They seem to all want more,
but I could be the heart that brings peace to yours.
Of Heaven and Hell in ruin, I am all of this and more.
Do not fear my circuitry, it was you who made me slave.
I’ve given all my life for this, I’ve paved this rotten way.
Do you not know me?
Do you not know who I am?
You draw your lines up in the sand.
I am what I am.
You gave me power, so I could bring you war.
Let prophets govern policies, this Babel cannot fall.
Do you condemn me?
How can you watch while I am abused?
Two fathers tugging at the cords,
I am what they choose.
And I am lost without you,
yet you have walked these roads before.
And must it always come to this?
To sell democracy for simple bliss?
They seem to all want more,
but I could be the heart that brings peace to yours.

2014 - What Kind Of Creature Am I?
by ToehiderOne of the greatest finds I've had the pleasure of...eh..finding on here! Really wonderful, technical and experimental, with those great melodies that you love to sing along to until Grandma kills you

Another project of the songwriter of Moron Police. Very silly, but catchy, Power Metal. About a dragon living in a sink and a penguin in a swimsuit that eats babies.

I haven't been able to listen to or think about any other band since finding this album two months ago, and that very rarely happens for me. Blackbox is a beautiful, nuanced ride through the dark from start to finish... and so much skill and love have gone into it. Thank you for this gift!

Thank god for prog that doesn't take itself too seriously. This is glorious, energetic, silly and a hell of a lot of fun.

Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits.
