Colin M. The Croweater saga is phenomenal, and Part 2 picks up right where the album of the year contender Part 1 left off. Favorite track: This Mountain.

Mubla Na Thguob I have no idea from where these guys are drawing inspiration, but with the Croweater albums they are climbing their way straight to legendary status. If they continue to knock it out of the park like this they have the very real potential of being household names in the very near future. Favorite track: This Mountain.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Fall of an Empire return with part two of their Croweater saga. If you were party to part one you'll know to expect phenomenal grooves of proggish hard rock married to stoner/desert grooves all coated in superb vocals, if you was not then buy and listen to the previous album and come back to this after!
Superb!

lumbering; Through the night A beast storms from a swirling height A new threat – found at sea A giant stalks us from beneath Over land, they come in pairs Hide me under a broken cairn a life lost, priceless cost Black despair for a makeshift cross Set me aside Ill be safer where I lie Never lost; stay the course By the light of the gods remorse A last command, to hold the line If victory can n’er be mine It may just be the futile hope of lords To fell the beast and its source Kneel before me My child Now Arise A king tonight. I bequeath this throne Of broken bones Take heed my seed Of all I've shown Take a seat Then pass it on When your light is dim And have sowed your own

WATER THE GROUND WITH THE BLOOD OF THE CROWN FOR IT IS WE WHO RULE THIS MOUNTAIN You can pry the key to my keep from my dead hands as I sleep as my ancestors weep for this mountain you can dance with my axe 'til my fingers go lax as my blood runs back down this mountain WATER THE GROUND WITH THE BLOOD OF THE CROWN FOR IT IS WE WHO RULE THIS MOUNTAIN You can turn tell and run the way this should have begun before you ever set one foot on this mountain Now fighters form a wedge cleave them with our edge sweep them from the ledge cleanse this mountain WATER THE GROUND WITH THE BLOOD OF THE CROWN FOR IT IS WE WHO RULE THIS MOUNTAIN

Remnant 04:27
I'm Drawn like a lodestone known as an old soul weathered and weary can't pay the debt I owe I'm older than my years would have you believe salted with old tears peppered with envy IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH WITH NO SHADOW OF DOUBT IS WHERE I FIND MYSELF NO ROD OR STAFF TO COMFORT ME I'M LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT MEMORIES (Brent) I'M ON A ROAD I DON'T KNOW AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH PATH I CHOSE Hounds howl in the distance a sadness in their bay the loss of an old friend so far that I can't hear the sounds of a whisper the rattle of cold chains the answer is right here in a way that I can't feign IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH WITH NO SHADOW OF DOUBT IS WHERE I FIND MYSELF NO ROD OR STAFF TO COMFORT ME I'M LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT MEMORIES (Brent) I'M ON A ROAD I DON'T KNOW AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH PATH I CHOSE feels just like you're gone but I guess it's me so drink a toast to my ghost and I'll miss you all alone so drink a toast to my ghost and I'll miss you all alone IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH WITH NO SHADOW OF DOUBT IS WHERE I FIND MYSELF NO ROD OR STAFF TO COMFORT ME I'M LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT MEMORIES

The Brink 09:16
It's been 40 days since we've seen land windburned face and bleeding hands my belly's empty and my body's sore break your back against the oar HEAVE HO THE TASTE OF DEFEAT IS NIGH SCREAMING I BREATHE IN ONE LAST SIGH The sun beats down like a tyrant The salt from sweat and sea combine I grit my teeth and I close my eyes for so long that I may be blind HEAVE HO THE TASTE OF DEFEAT IS NIGH SCREAMING I BREATHE IN ONE LAST SIGH one last miracle for the journey home albatross falters, soldiering on pray to god we are not becalmed and to keep the bow moving through the foam insurmountable odds like a divining rod broken like blisters endless as gods sail on ALBATROSS BARE THE LOSS SAIL ON

Oracle 07:19
Refuse to wear a stitch of clothing Among the hallucinated loathing I watch the dance from the mountain side Blood for blood .. a sea of red arrives Smoke and mirrors Watch me wither away I tried to warn you of treachery But you didn’t suspect that it was me As you lay dying I miss you my love As you lay dying I miss you my love go to sleep dont mind me go to sleep I will keep ...you I dare to dream of a daring rescue A pale horse and a scythe to test you I know all too well what all of this means I know all too well, this farewell Smoke and mirrors watch me wither away

No Passage 05:18
I spent a dead mans coin it didn’t seem like he would need it I grabbed it all up in a shaking fist And bought drink to calm my wits Got through half a fifth before feeling sick After all you must admit It’s quite a parting gift Especially when his purse is gripped in the hand I shot him with bought a suit of tailored fabric A gunbelt made of hide A bible bound in leather And set off to make it right you can send him down the river styx give him two bits for his eyes he’ll need to pay the ferryman To get him to the other side I laid all the coin before me The gunsmith looked surprised And crafted a gun as fine as God While I waited idly by I spent it all on funeral clothes And corks that smelled of wine on an only guns begotten son til two bits is all you’ll find those two tawny bits are made to fit if you chance to note the size beside the hole the bullet left one for either eye. you can send me down the river styx give me two bits for my eyes I’ll need to pay the ferryman To get me to the other side I need to find him and apologize His death was underhanded But it’s hard to see with coins for eyes Once the boat has landed I need to try and set things right And plead for his forgiveness But I took his funds and left him none For an only gun's begotten son And the ferryman get's no visit
