Fire giving life
Reaching out as it crosses the sky
Deadwood finding ground
Carried in with the tide
On the winds of creation
The elements arrive
Join the spirit communion
Walk through the divide
In wonder, gates of fire and stone
On the path of devotion
Elementals will rise
Embers purify
The imperfections
River running dry
Expose reflections of iron
On the winds of creation
The elements arrive
Join the spirit communion
Walk through the divide
In wonder, gates of fire and stone
On the path of devotion
Elementals will rise
Elementals will rise
Fire
Elementals will rise
Elementals will rise
Iron
Elementals will rise
Elementals will rise

When death comes to your door
Will you walk towards the light
As sure as the river flows
Our spirit crosses the divide
These hands will forge the blade
May it never taste the blood
Of creatures on this plane
A shining artifact of grace
---
Imbue the stars in folding iron
The astral shimmer of heat from the fire
Within the steel the night sky will dance to the songs of the forge played by hammer and anvil
Two sides of light inspire the heart
When finding balance igniting the spark
Create the gates of fire and stone with these hands born of water and earth down below
Within the steel the night sky will dance to the songs of the forge played by hammer and anvil
Imbue the stars in folding iron
Reaching to the sky
Light fading
Raise the blade on high
Create the gates of fire and stone with these hands born of water and earth down below
Within the steel the night sky will dance to the songs of the forge played by hammer and anvil
Create the gates of fire and stone with these hands born of water and earth down below
Within the steel the night sky will dance to the songs of the forge played by hammer and anvil

We cut away the deadwood
Making room for life to grow
But the garden has no master
And the will of life endures
All our sisters underwater
(Breath in breath out)
And our brothers in the sky
(Life in our blood)
We’re tied by the same
Earthly tether
Breathe in
The soul and earth
Align
Converge

The mountain stands alone upon a blade of fire before the sun.
Drawn towards a point of light, all of my cold rage entwined.
You will come to know me.
With every sin you crawl, with each passing breath.
Taste the crimson drops upon this blade.
You will come to know me.
The line between the friend and foe cannot be seen until you fall.
The blind can see the bison knows.
You bend the truth to suit your stall.
You will come to know me.
Lord cast your eyes on me, you know this to be false.
I’ll slice the ocean whole, give me everything.
You will come to know.
You will come to know.
You will come to know me.
When the body fails, God will gather me.
When the mind dissolves, God will inspire me.
When the rivers dry, God will forgive me.
When the heavens glow, God will provide me.
Bring me the Earth, the rivers and the moon.
Heaven and hell, I’ll strike them all in two.
Eternal, when the sky comes down.
Eternal, come back stronger.
Deliver me from ego, lust and power and sight.
The curtain lies open and only God remains.
When the body fails, God will gather me.
When the mind dissolves, God will inspire me.
When the rivers dry, God will forgive me.
When the heavens glow, God will provide me.
The water burns, the tide awake.
The crashing of the waves again.
Diamond fire upon the edge, the mountain grows again and again.
A songbird crashes from the sky.
An endless sleep behind your mind.
My master shades his eyes.
A love so true, to meet my own.
I placed in you my soul.
Before I’m through the mountain calls.
My plea to you, my all.
The songbird dies in my arms.
What have I done?
I’ve seen the edge so raise your hands.
I’ve seen the edge so raise your hands.
Power flow from me to you.
Power flow from me to you.
And I will lead you all to the brink of time.
A love so true for you.
Lord cast your eyes on me, you know this to be false.
I’ll slice the ocean whole, give me everything.

Howling Giant Nashville, Tennessee
Despite Nashville’s reputation for assembly-line pop country, the town called Music City is a place of deep history, where brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players keep dozens of musical legacies burning bright. Nashville’s preeminent fuzz-psych power trio Howling Giant live in the pocket of that lineage, and on their eagerly awaited second full-length, Glass Future. ... more

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.

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

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710
