I’ve seen things you would not believe.
Atrocities committed in the name of the family.
Generations of the dead still scream my name.
Screaming, I was born into this life surrounded by death.
Legacy of blood handed down by my fathers father.
This is my burden.
This blood on my hand still won’t come clean.
This life is my curse.
My curse, I was born into this life surrounded by death.
Legacy of blood handed down by my fathers father.
This blood on my hands.

Left Hand Black

kinda like a dog
with seven pupils
in its eye
kinda like a madness
that refuses
in subside
kinda like everything you want
just w/ in your grasp
kinda like
how a banshee-wail
dances
on a living heart
I'm gonna stand
at the top of the world and
challenge the heavens
gonna bring you god
gonna bring you god
in the palm of the left
hand
black
gonna bring you god
kinda like
when the sun goes down
and darkness makes its climb
kinda like all your muscle tissue
starting to unwind
kinda like
if you brave the hate
fade it
to the left hand black
how I know
I can take their power
send it back at
triple times the strength
how I see the battle
and the bleeding human race
how I miss the taste of it
its sweet and warm
embrace
how I see
the world's demise
its last
and final gap
how I see reality
explode
into another kind of life

The Lasting Dose

Sometimes I need the fuel I drain from you
That lasting dose turns cold and blue
I've died before so many times
In time reborn, in time I'll find
That everlasting glow that blinds my view
My apathy turns thru and thru
This war inside has drained my will
Those things I've done were overkill
I've felt the pain of a brutal war
I feel the pain of a lasting war
I need the fuel I drain from you
My lasting dose turns cold and blue
This war inside has drained my will
Those things I've done were overkill, oh yeah
I've felt the pain of a brutal war
I feel the pain of a lasting war

Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes.

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.

The funk and prog bits sprinkled on this muthalovin' heavy groovy cake make it oh so tasty, and I like a good, unpretentious concept album. I'll have another slice right now, hold the nanobots, thank you !
