The Gathering Of Ants
from The Habit Of Fire by Kekal
lyrics
We are part of the mass
Post-industrial working class
Empowered by commands to be
The Black Ants assembly
I feel trapped
here within their system
as the workforce
Diligent and industrious
Voluntarily focused
Disciplinary in-use
Slaves of this modern world
Beyond reasonable doubt
Strains coincide with fear
Harder still to make a will
and sacrifice our surviving-selves
Here; our lives on their hands as an asset
Stagnation; walks in circular direction
Lack of inclination
Self-induced submission
Undisputable fracture
Tracking to consequence
Aging to reluctance
A hell of industry...
Post-industrial working class
Empowered by commands to be
The Black Ants assembly
I feel trapped
here within their system
as the workforce
Diligent and industrious
Voluntarily focused
Disciplinary in-use
Slaves of this modern world
Beyond reasonable doubt
Strains coincide with fear
Harder still to make a will
and sacrifice our surviving-selves
Here; our lives on their hands as an asset
Stagnation; walks in circular direction
Lack of inclination
Self-induced submission
Undisputable fracture
Tracking to consequence
Aging to reluctance
A hell of industry...

-
Influential album from a very influential, albeit underrated, band back in the 80s. If you like the Piggy-era Voivod, you need to listen to this!

Hako Yamasaki is a singer-songwriter from Japan with songs & singing that can speak directly to your soul! Only a few in the world that are able to do that. This is her 1975 debut album, remastered.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

Symphonic and theatrical black/death metal of a middle eastern flavoured. Superb album from start to finish.

Melted Bodies recruit pals like Machine Girl, Fire-Toolz, Xiu Xiu & others to remix the trippy tracks from their last LP.
