lyrics

A surgical smile in the City of Suicides
You’ll take your medicine
Hooked up to the tubes – fed to fit their noose
All life begins again
MK Ultra Diplomacy – Mustard Gas efficiency
Gutted at the nave; thankful you’re a slave
Pulling girls from graves

A spoon full of sugar helps the blood go down
And blood makes the world go round

Stepping on skulls in this burial place
Razor-blade pressed to your neck
Formaldehyde; filling you up inside
A beautiful, quivering wreck

Strapped down in the basement
A cold windowless room
I hear them whisper their lust for the dead
White clinical tomb
Nothing if not methodical
Born to this bloodless doom

Outside here all the temples are falling
The stars are shrieking as they're shedding their skin
Let me die a moment in this artificial light
Under God’s dead love we are pale and thin

How are we so empty - when did it begin?

Strapped down in the basement again
Hooked up to the blood medicine

Hangover Suicide 7"
by Iron Witch

These guys have a few EPs but this is their most recent. Excellent groovy/bluesy sludge ala EyeHateGod and the likes. Well worth your time and money :) Skeletons

Tarnation

Huge Riffs & absolute hatred. These guys are exactly what sludge should sound like, and should definitely be checked out by fans of High on Fire, Winter, Graves at Sea & generally any sludgy doom! Skeletons

The first NZ metal to poke its head above the international parapet in my time (20 years and counting) away from the country. I can practically feel the Wellington dripping off it! Andrew Salmond
