lyrics
It happens just when you’re dyin’
That’s death at your door
And it’s just when you’re cryin out for more
That she stands and relinquishes fire
As masters of nature we’ve failed you
As destroyers of lands we’ve prevailed you
As bastards we feed
As shepherds we’ve blackened our names
She can tell just when you’re lyin’
The sweat beads off your brow
And its just in your final of hours
That the birds have come thirsting for you
We could tell by the look in her eyes
She is pale, she is cold but alive
As she crawls back to where she will die
Hey friend are you sure can want to hear this?
It’s so full of the things you despise
No, I want to know how she died
Well the rest of the story is blurry
The meat was starting to cool
And the thrill of the kill it was new
So we cut and we ripped in a hurry
The smell of her blood on our lips
We left what we’d done in those woods
As God stands by to bear witness
You can see in the pale moon light
This is our grand rite
As God fails to pass judgment
You can see as she puts up a fight
This is our grand rite
That’s death at your door
And it’s just when you’re cryin out for more
That she stands and relinquishes fire
As masters of nature we’ve failed you
As destroyers of lands we’ve prevailed you
As bastards we feed
As shepherds we’ve blackened our names
She can tell just when you’re lyin’
The sweat beads off your brow
And its just in your final of hours
That the birds have come thirsting for you
We could tell by the look in her eyes
She is pale, she is cold but alive
As she crawls back to where she will die
Hey friend are you sure can want to hear this?
It’s so full of the things you despise
No, I want to know how she died
Well the rest of the story is blurry
The meat was starting to cool
And the thrill of the kill it was new
So we cut and we ripped in a hurry
The smell of her blood on our lips
We left what we’d done in those woods
As God stands by to bear witness
You can see in the pale moon light
This is our grand rite
As God fails to pass judgment
You can see as she puts up a fight
This is our grand rite

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONEsupported by 91 fans who also own “Grand Rites”
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10

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.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...
