Traditional Black Magicks II

by Skull Servant

supported by

revengebymagick I don't think there's any band that sounds quite like Skull Servant does. The songs hit hard and heavy while maintaining a strong melody, and the two singers provide a contrast that makes every song feel unique.

The crunchy guitar and bass tone puts a lot of power behind the riffs, and the songwriting and arrangement makes this feel like a concept album.

If there's one thing Skull Servant does best, it's creating music that is dynamic and ever changing. Favorite track: Hounds of Tindalos.

snakechurch_antipodus heavy wizard music with a crunchy gritty texture bridging the gap twixt love & psychedelia and doom & being eaten by an incomprehensible cosmic force

it's well-rounded. it makes you feel things like "i can dig it" and "bloooooood". it's great for fuckin' to, and it can probably get you high on its own, although I am too chronically stoned to check

groovy. Favorite track: Satan's Broomstick.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Crunching distorted guitar tones, punchy rhythms, growling bass all topped of with vocals that are a weird blend of gothic doominesss and RATM style urban metal rap. Favorite track: Poison the Unwell.

JoopKonraad "Intricate riffs tumble over each other as the drums crash and the bass rumbles underneath. Stonerrock gone metal, gone proto, gone the way of the Skull Servant!"

1.	Hounds of Tindalos 06:49	lyrics
I have been and I will be til the night blots out the sun The smell of burning sulfur signifies it has begun A mighty dose of Liao propels you to the precipice of time The hounds bells will sound reverberating through your mind The walls quake as I approach and reason slips away You've seen the secrets you will take them to the grave I move through angles flowing liquid, serpentine I dream of boundless death an eternity of hate is mine We can taste We can smell You Tindalos Coming closer
2.	Absinthe Dreams 04:09
3.	Poison the Unwell 02:50	lyrics
Like a sinking stone in a pool of flesh My blade falls down to the bottom My left hand is cursed and my right hand is blessed My palms the cradle of Sodom Carrion Flesh lays fresh Carrion Marking your door hiding in fear Candles snuffed children silent Blood stained floors bloody tears Legions of men turning violent Carrion Flesh lays fresh Carrion
4.	Lucifer's Reefer 04:09	lyrics
Six hundred sixes inscriptions inscribed on the wall Inverted eyes cast their gaze to the floor where I crawl yeah... Voices repeating faces emerging from hazes A smoke that engulfs me transports me to wonderful places I try to resist it I know it is already fruitless The pipe to my lips introduces demonic bliss One hit makes you small and another one makes you a leader With the fires of hell flick the lighter on Lucifer’s Reefer
5.	Pergamos 02:39	lyrics
Dozens of voices They’re in my head You’ll never notice Consuming your mind Seated by Satan’s left hand Open, unseal, blackened, soul Towers, unreal, twisted, cold Screaming in torment I can’t escape this hell Blood pouring forth from me Unraveling my mortal shell Open, unseal, blackened, soul Towers, unreal, twisted, cold Open, unseal, blackened, soul Tortured, inside, Pergamos
6.	Satan's Broomstick 04:37	lyrics
My eyes are wide it happens every night I wanna watch you this time Your clothes on the floor you leave an open door Your body glowing in the light Rotted logs, termites crawl, receive with open legs You soak the acid with your base My eyes are wide you rise to unseen heights My body frozen in it's place On your own Riding on! Return to me you smell of unclean things Fast asleep your face serene Here I lay, wide awake, should I stay or escape I turn to you you're whispering Old drugs, black bugs, bad luck, good fucks Don't you want that for us Fast asleep I start to dream, I feel the tips of trees Ever closer to your touch

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. Luke

The forest-cyberpunk/rock mix is totally different from basically any other band I can think of. It feels like finding a faerie ring in a dewy forest while riding a lightcycle, clad in moss and bark instead of leathers and neon. Wild. Colin M.
