Hand of Doom From the straight up riffing of album opener 'Blackrock' what is immediately evident is the bands songwriting skill, and their intent to inject the hooks of each track, directly into your subconscious with each listen.
'Dancing in Hells Garden' is one of the album highlights - kicking into a driving rhythm the track showcases their diversity with equal parts stoner rock & heavy alternative rock. The growing urgency of the riffs & vocals build this track to an awesome crescendo. Recommended! Favorite track: Dancing In Hell's Garden.

Blackrock 04:15
She’s naked in her grave Bed of sand and weeds Hollow waves roll in Buried faceless She stood alone long black hair so berated Little town expose of your secrets She stood alone long black hair so berated Little town silent round Yes he wants her Hold on to your crown They’ll take it back from you She had stars high, high on her thigh They’ll trace it back to you She stood alone long black hair so berated Little town expose of your secrets She stood alone long black hair so berated Little town silent round Yes he craves her Your guilt echo’s your filthy mind Your guilt echo’s your filthy crime Twitch of murder in your eye Your guilt echo’s your mind Battered man on the street So cold he could hardly breathe Battered man on the street So cold he could hardly breathe Arsehole

New to me this side of you The devil dressed in coloured balloons You foolish clown I’m just like you Dance before he breaks Burning sisters Snakes are bleeding Man in black says She is wrong so die Dance before she burns Hell’s Garden He’ll never ever let you go In Hell’s Garden He’s the one who’ll wave hello 1 2 3 I’m yawning Obsessively adoring Switch to silence thoughts are racing Persecution coz you’re crazy Switch to loud thoughts are racing Shining star yet so abrasive Waltz by trance beneath the moonlight Levitate your silent wonder Weirdo won’t you set her free Put your trust in me Dance until you bleed Hell’s Garden He’ll never ever let you go In Hell’s Garden He’s the one to say hello In Hell’s, Hell’s Garden He wants your soul Just say no

Monster Ego 04:41
Monster, oh Monster Ego You know yourself That you’re out of control You think you’re Superman With your big fat head Monster, oh Monster Ego Time fades away Time fades away You know you’ll end up growing old alone Monster Ego and your stupid phone You wonder what went wrong Tell your mother I’m gone

Dr Dumb 05:00
Radiate a charm of cruel Fixate your mind to rule Stain of self-doubt Why won’t it wash away? Why did you lie? Think I’m so stupid That I can’t see the truth Think I’m so stupid That I can’t see you Dr Dumb, can I ask you a question? Who will be left to love When I’m gone Why won’t you say my name? Why are you playing this game?

Times have changed the bounds Of light are estranged Times have changed Fickle days Make up your mind You're pushing me away Make up you mind Decision too late again You're lost in Your sense of isolation So tight lipped No room for negotiation It's like you need to lose control Radiate It's like you need to lose control Radiate, Radiate You shouldn't have bled You shouldn't wear red Make up your mind You're scattered with dismay Make up your mind Decision too late again You're lost in Your sense of isolation No room for negotiation It's like you need to lose control Radiate It's like you need to lose control Radiate, Radiate

Nothing 06:54
In this life, nothing lasts for real We hold on hoping to prolong While we wait we hold our breath Nothing, nothing last for real On this plain nothing seems that real Living on an ever turning wheel But soon we realise All your sorrows are your highs Hold onto your words Break judgement into two And you know loneliness is slow So behold tomorrow Is it worth all the pain Let him go, let her know And you know that everything you said Is a lie, words you say I know See you tomorrow Here I stand alone feeling remorseful Here I stand alone feeling remorseful

Beast 04:28
Here in your day Far beneath they’re slaying Beast behold their reign You haul the daze Climb the stalk for days Hungry and scarred by the raid Beast they gouge out our eyes Golden eggs are their shunted prize Cruelty, lingers, traitors Look into the mirror See what you despise Hole in your reign Culture so corrupt Burn the Beast’s regime So many unmarked graves
