bob-smiley Going back to review the gravehuffer albums because I haven’t yet, all I have to say is that when you hear a disco cover that effortlessly transitions into head banging metal, you know it’s a good day Favorite track: Hellhound.

PaulTheOwl/Ripper/MxBv There are so many varied influences that show their face for about 1 second and then disappear underneath another one.

In a lot of places it's like if Nile were a hardcore band, with Fredrik Thordendal throwing a solo in, then Gojira and Slugdge hanging out for a bit, Napalm Death and Birdflesh throwing in some fast and fun, with Yob slowing it down here and there.

Really interesting mash up that works. Favorite track: Sights To The Sky.

Custom of the Sea (lyrics: Jay Willis, James Hiser) HARK! BOW before the will of the Custom of the Sea. Lost amongst salt foam with nothing to satiate Cursed & Shipwrecked. Marooned with Kin The ocean’s waves ever pounding. The madness starts to seep in… Lord Poseidon hear my plea! Accept my offerings, and save thee! Slaves to time. Hours become weeks Starvation, Desperation. How long will this Hell go on?! Lots are drawn, who will be fed upon? Limbs contort into claws to feed grimacing jaws Lord Poseidon hear me! I accept my fate! Bound by the custom of the sea! FEED! Poseidon TAKE ME!!!!!! “Should pale death, with treble dread, make the ocean caves our bed, God who hears the surges roll, deign to save the suppliant soul.” FEED! No Quarter Given. Humanity abandoned Sanity scattered. Overwhelmed, what have we done Hell at sea, to hunger we all succumb Doomed. Consumed Thy flesh gnawed through Rationalize. Survive Prepared to set sail through Hell

Hellhound 02:28
Hellhound (lyrics: James Hiser, Jay Willis) Crossroads, poor old Bob. Your music drew us in In your youth you sold your soul, for fortune, fame, and pain Drop down on your knees. Hold up your guitar Devil tuned it, gave it back, and made you what you are Hellhound, hot upon your trail Hellhound, listen to them wail Hellhound, Devil has your soul Hellhound, Bastard’s rock n’ roll Fire that pushed you on, couldn’t change your luck Life of tragedy and loss, pushed to self-destruct Blues man sing and play, crowds all come to hear Every song an Omen, of the Hellhounds drawing near Hellhound, hot upon your trail Hellhound, listen to them wail Hellhound, Devil has your soul Hellhound, Bastard’s rock n’ roll Open the Gates! Release the Hounds! The dark catches up and now you’re found The Devil collects, his contract is sound No seal on the bottle, still you drink! Slapped it from your hands, you start to sink Poisoned at the three forks, now you’re done Founder of the 27 club

Sights To The Sky (lyrics: Ritchie Randall) Blast Off! Sights to the sky. No fear! Ambition most high. Fighter! Interceptor! System freeze. Distinguished Flying Crosses. MiG defeat. Line of sight. Guided Flight. Rendezvous... Rendezvous... Fly... High... Gemini... E.V.A.... Never stray... Blast off! By Saturn Five. No fear! The Moon is nigh. The Eagle descending 6000 feet. Hatch open, Moon surface beneath their feet. Reentry. Lift off speed. Rendezvous... Rendezvous... Descend... Apollo... Splashing down... Waves around... Depression and pain that drove him insane. Maternal suicide, guilt he can’t hide. Mental illness, stigma was great. Dependency struggles but it’s not too late. Reality not conspiracy. Swear on the Bible, not for me. Advocate to explore all space. Onward to Mars for the human race.

Death Before Disco (lyrics: Travis McKenzie) Immersed in sounds that rip us to the core Beautiful noise, that hurl's us through the woe Hellish sounds, accompaniment for survival Fuck songs of privilege! Disco is our rival! Cookie cutter nonsense full of privilege and excess Existing only so that white rich kids can dance NOISE SUPREME, what did they do? Fleeting sounds of privilege dishonor's you I'll never abandon the truthful sounds And resist the invasion of cocaine clowns Spitting in the face of those who suffer for their art Fuck your fancy disco your music has no heart Black music robbed, and whitewashed for the snobs Stripped of its soul for elitist cocaine clubs Their celebration of privileged social standing Does not line up with our own lives so demanding NOISE SUPREME I vow to strive To keep the soul of noisy rock alive Bathe! In the sound Noise reigns down Death Before disco! I'd rather drown In truth's sound Death before Disco!

Stingray 02:22
Stingray (lyrics: Mike Jilge) Life is riding, building jumps. Knobby tires and Motomags. Being like Evel, flying through the air. Skipping school, smoking weed yeah, we don't care. STINGRAY IS ALL I NEED. JUST MY BIKE AND ME. FIOLA AND BRIAN. AT THE KEYHOLE BOWL. Mike Dominguez, and DMC. Took the dirt from under me. Started building ramps, and leaving the earth. Nothing like getting high and flying in Upland. NOW HUTCH IS ALL I NEED. ITSON SCHOOLING ME. RADICAL RICK IN BMX PLUS. NOW FREESTYLIN' COMING 'ROUND. Condors flying, soaring high. Some of us old guys, still ride. Oz Buff and Ron, started it all. Skyways now instead of Motomags. UNDERGROUND IS ALL I NEED. JUST MY FRIENDS AND ME. RIDING WITH DAVE. AT THE WINEGLASS RAMPS.

Smaller Than Death (lyrics: James Hiser) This man, this legend, this giant stalks the earth Brooding, rope stepper, He enters the ring Crushing opponents, they never stood a chance Casting his shadow, Towering over all Intense, Behemoth, Immovable mountain No oil, Piper’s put to waste Friend of the Snake, loathe the oil of the Macho Man Fighting the Sheik, Giant’s gentle no more King Kong’s fall Barbers & Hulks put to sleep, Junk yard Dogs and Studs Gentle Giant stalks One man brute squad, undefeated, but never champ With fear they all shake, watch him Dominate These men he’ll decimate, Andre will seal their fate Now they all seem small, picked up like a doll God in a giants frame, drown in stifling pain Sit on you, you break in two, You cannot breathe, you are through Backed up, you’re done, you are done The wind of the giant, fills your lungs Consume them all Larger than life but smaller than Death.

Ghost Dance 04:31
Ghost Dance (lyrics: Travis McKenzie) We once lived here freely, raised our children on these plains Pale greedy thieves invaded, steeling our plains away Land swindled, left with nothing, our lives ripped from us We only have each other, may not be enough Ghost Dance – defy oppression, Ghost Dance – raise our dead Ghost Dance – new earth forms, Ghost Dance beneath our feet Ghost…Dance…Ghost…Dance… Return from shining mountains, Short Bull and Kicking Bear Bring words from Wovoka, carry on through ghost dance Dance to raise the fallen, warriors from then and now In the sky, all together, in defiance we will dance Ghost Dance – old souls and dancers, Ghost Dance – bring on new soil Ghost Dance – white devil buried, Ghost Dance – will live on Ghost… Dance…Ghost…Dance… They killed Sitting Bull. They’re taking all our guns. Outnumbered & out armed, Ghost Dance our last defense Soldiers surrounding us, waiting for surrender. We do nothing now, we will dance Dancing until we are aloft as one. Invite the Earth to swallow our foes New soil will cover the pale enemy. Wovoka says Earth will be ours Confusion scattering, fleeing bullets flying. Cowardly murdering old, young & unarmed Watching people die, just lies stacked on lies. Ghost dance was not enough! “There is no center… The Sacred Tree is dead…”

Quarantine War Machine (lyrics: Jay Willis) It’s all Fire and Brimstone! So let’s toast to the end! Here it comes! Bunker down! Armageddon! It’s the end of the world. Quarantined social decay Stay inside. Be afraid. The world’s Digg’n mass graves I can’t get out. Or let you in We’ve locked the Doors down. Eyes fix; Torror-vision! I CAN’T GET OUT! The home’s a prison The Plague’s at the door. And it’s lookin’ to even the score Quarantine War-machine… Catalyst for World War III I can’t get out. They won’t let me! It’s all partisan politics and hush money! Smash the door down! "Libera te ex inferis," It’s alright, It’s ok, Everything’s gonna be exactly the same as it was before! Once they find a cure. You’ll see… It’s all a conspiracy. Nothing to see here. Just people in fear LIES!!! Don’t you feel it? This is the end of the World as we know it! RISE! Don’t you see it?! This is the end of the world as you knew it! Hypocrisy…Police Brutality…News Lying…Technocracy Addiction…Mind shattering…Information misleading Suffocation…Over sensation…WHY?! Can’t you see there’s no conspiracy, Nor an invisible enemy! It’s just the inept nature of humanity!!! You know what they say about good intentions? They pave the path to HELL! Out of the Sea we arose to Conquer up through the sky. A blessing and a curse And under the cover of night we wove and told our tales (lies) Of our Hero’s Plight & the Conquers Delights…LIES!!!!

Revenge of the Dumpster Baby Lyrics: James Hiser You didn’t want me, you threw me in the trash Tried to abort me, you didn’t have the cash You never thought that I’d find my way back Furious fetus, I’m here to kick your ass It’s the revenge of the dumpster baby The baby’s bad as a dog with rabies You run & hind but you won’t escape me The Revenge of the Dumpster Baby! Out of the garbage and bent of revenge Premature phoenix rising from the ash All out of prayers, your life’s come to an end The stuff of nightmares straight from the garbage bin! It’s the revenge of the dumpster baby The baby’s bad as a dog with rabies You run & hind but you won’t escape me It’s the Revenge of the Dumpster Baby!

Causes 03:50
Causes (lyrics: Ryan Smith) I have no mind – all thought is gone. My brain is fried – it’s on the lawn It’s all a blank – a gleaming white. My senses numb – can’t see no light I close my eyes and like a dream. I see a pulsing, pulsing, gleam The gleam grows ever, ever bright. ‘Til it becomes a blinding light On impulse I open my eyes. And it is then I realize That I am dead and not alive. It is with awe that I arrive I feel at peace, I feel at peace. I don’t want it to ever cease Then I awake out of my dream. Then I awake – I want to scream But such a place just must be real. What do I know of such a deal? Why do I ramble on to the air? Why do you act like you care? What was it I was going to say? What was I talkin’ about anyway? Go back to what you were doin, okay? I think I’ll go back home to stay. S’okay? S’okay. S’allright? S’allright. Don’t bother callin’ me tonight. I’ll be busy – yes, I will. I’m gonna take a happy pill Maybe see it once again. Maybe go back where I’ve been. Hear the music – see the light. Don’t bother callin’ me tonight. Tomorrow I will find someone. Who’ll hear me out until I’m done. Or else I’ll go sit in the sun. Blow my brains out with my gun. And what is it you’re gonna do. If what I said is really true? Well, I’ll find out – but when I do. I won’t be able to tell you.

Backpack 03:48
Backpack (lyrics: Travis McKenzie, Jay Willis, Ritchie Randall) Wild youth. Lost to the streets. Instinctive cunning. Wisdom incomplete One lapse in judgment, damned for eternity. Agonizing torment, justice for Kalief God is dead! We killed him. His blood is on our hands. Innocence is lost. Corrupted. Defiled. All lost like tears in the reign. I’m messed up, not alright. Mentally scarred. Things have changed how I feel. Might not go back. I’m aware, paranoid. Robbed of my happiness!! Kalief Browder. Your story was a tragedy. But times do change And there will come a day. FOR JUSTICE! Justice for Kalief God is dead! We killed him. His blood is on our hands. Innocence is lost. Corrupted. Defiled. All lost like tears in the reign. I’m messed up, not alright. Mentally scarred. Things have changed how I feel. Might not go back. I’m aware, paranoid. Robbed of my happiness!! Rip the Soul open. You see I’m dead inside I can run no more. No longer will I hide Face the ugly truths. That punctuate my life Hoping for some clarity & inner peace. Now the pack is open Aghast at what I see….OPEN! Pull back the curtain! Darkness surrounding me! The Void has become an open mouth consuming me!

Mad Wolf 06:16
Mad Wolf (lyrics: Jay Willis, Mike Jilge) They will pay... with rivers of blood! The Assassin’s Road. The Gate-less Barrier Today is the day! I begin walking the road to hell. Cursed by beheaded souls from ponds of blood Guided by the chime of The Cold Night Prayer. Black wind blows the fragrance of death. I am Itto Ogami, The Shogunate’s Executioner No man, women nor child is spared the judgment of the Hollyhock Crest Betrayed (By a Vow against Evil) Vengeance for Azami Together with my son Daigoro, We live the Demon’s Way through HELL…Release hell… Today is the Day of the Demon’s wrath. We walk the path of Blood & Death. I am Itto Ogami, along with my son we are Lone Wolf & Cub No man, women nor child is spared the judgment of my Dotanuki sword I won’t rest until I have my revenge for my wife Azami Together with my son Daigoro, We walk the path of Demon’s Way through Hell. The River of Greed, The Omote-Yagyu, The River of Fury, the Ura-Yagyu Even if I become a corpse or reduced to bones, I shall have my vengeance! Yagyu Clan, I cures you! Prepared for the slaughter, Ready to show cruelty The assassin’s road, Filled with Rage, AND tragedy I shall crush the Stone Tablets of their Destiny, Light your Lanterns For the Dead. I…will defy…the…Shogun’s will…They’ll be no Hara-kiri here. My will unrelenting, Body parts flying. I will never relent. There is no dignity in death. I am Itto Ogami, I am the Mad wolf I ride the pale horse Death. With my sword of vengeance.
