about

Listeners can expect an expansive sound production decorated with ethereal synthesizers. The clean and melodic verses are bestowed with infectious groove by the dynamic and expressive rhythm section and the heavy, anthemic choruses are layered with soaring and sweeping choirs, driven forward by bone-crunching guitar riffs and visceral, emotive lead vocals. Sit back, close your eyes and allow yourself to be taken on this melancholic, introspective journey that reflects the existential angst within.

lyrics

Lyrics

Appetite for loctite - threshold broken,
Your vengeful God exposed
And every word that’s uttered
Is a shame on bread not buttered
Feel that heat - goes down a treat

It’s not a question - or is it?
But it burns so bright
A downhill path at last
The sky comes down with me

Dry as death itself - I’m just tired now, though
Spare yourself the woe
Treat me to a drink
The people have gathered round
The ice is dry
Fee-fo-fi - down in one

Step on me again
I cannot feel the pain anymore
As I have come ashore
It whispers to me now
This evidence of fate, so great

It’s not a question - or is it?
But it burns so bright
A downhill path at last
The sky comes down with me
