about
How's business?
lyrics
In the land of the dead the living pay a price.
The souls of men are like oil, their bodies prickle with lice.
There’s money and dust, there’s confetti made of rust.
Iron Jockey with a horse caught on his tail, tied down to his work while he’s been tied down to the rail.
Welcome to the West, you bitch-ass whore.
The sun will burn your eyes, your eyes will make you steal.
You’ll dine with wolves and you’ll sleep in deserts of steel.
Now as you close your eyes, in whatever hole you've found, sleep comes through the hallowed halls of old men – they stare in recognition as you’re welcomed to the fold.
Subjugate the living – make them pay through their own fears.
You’re running with this demon as you’re strangled by your peers.
You started out so well, now see the ruin that you deal.
Because evil makes a bed of aspirations and beer…
All you fuckers nailing bread to the door.
Running with the demon – it’s all I know.
And all you motherfuckers flying right down through the cracks,
the pavement like a beast that sees your body as a snack.
You started out so well, now you’re just headlights on a deer.
They say evil makes a bed of aspirations and beer.
Welcome to the West, now heed the call.
Welcome to the West, now beg and
The souls of men are like oil, their bodies prickle with lice.
There’s money and dust, there’s confetti made of rust.
Iron Jockey with a horse caught on his tail, tied down to his work while he’s been tied down to the rail.
Welcome to the West, you bitch-ass whore.
The sun will burn your eyes, your eyes will make you steal.
You’ll dine with wolves and you’ll sleep in deserts of steel.
Now as you close your eyes, in whatever hole you've found, sleep comes through the hallowed halls of old men – they stare in recognition as you’re welcomed to the fold.
Subjugate the living – make them pay through their own fears.
You’re running with this demon as you’re strangled by your peers.
You started out so well, now see the ruin that you deal.
Because evil makes a bed of aspirations and beer…
All you fuckers nailing bread to the door.
Running with the demon – it’s all I know.
And all you motherfuckers flying right down through the cracks,
the pavement like a beast that sees your body as a snack.
You started out so well, now you’re just headlights on a deer.
They say evil makes a bed of aspirations and beer.
Welcome to the West, now heed the call.
Welcome to the West, now beg and

Twilight Cinema
by Major ParkinsonIf you're into prog and dark catchy music, this one's for you. Deep rumbling vocals and really, really good lyrics abound. If you haven't heard these guys, do yourself a favor and check them out!

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.
