lyrics

man is invertebrate
an inebriated eloquent
a raving hypochondriac
gonna take the easy way out

man is invertebrate
he’s got no back bone to speak of
but a lot of ideas
and an inherent tendency to lie

man is nomadic
he’s got no home to speak of
no family ties to break off
no nation to get sentimental about

man he’s in the wrong film
appearing only in deleted scenes
this one isn’t going to screen
it’s going straight to dvd

man’s a liability
but it’s always someone else’s fault
don’t expect him to communicate
don’t expect him to act like an adult

man’s a warmonger
he’s always mongering wars
gonna raise the military budget
he’s gonna take all the rest of us down with him when he goes

man i want a nuclear war
I want the earth scorched worse than before
i want the bodies piled up and obliterated
and i want every child to get an AK47 for their birthday

what about all the blood, tears and sweat?
whatever happened to lest we forget?
while all the ANZACs are out enjoying the parade
the collective memory of mankind has been erased

man’s a genius
when he was born he broke the mould
he has the ability to create, destroy and rebuild
he’s got his art and music and time to kill

man has conscience
and a reputation to uphold
so are we really so numb
are we gonna succumb to our greed, material needs and meglomania?

On Circles
by Caspian

Caspian really push the boundaries of what can be sonically created by a guitar rock band. Moody, melodic and at times brutal. Love it. Vandemonian

Hiss Spun
by CHELSEA WOLFE

Probably the strongest rock album of the past 5 years. Guitars were recorded with the Death by Audio Apocalypse pedal. Soundtrack for the end of the world. Birth of Violence is for the aftermath. Vandemonian

Burning Day EP
by Shy, Low

Brutal and sweet progressive post metal. Both tracks kick you down a rabbit hole and you come out not knowing where you started. Vandemonian

The Master of nuance on the string, period. Of course I love the title track, but my favorite nuance is Arcus. bambilyn

Anyone homesick for the classic sound of ’90s math rock will fall in love with the jagged guitars & tricky tempos on “LLC.” Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 6, 2023
