take it slow now
'cuz my world is coming down, that I see
feelin' the change
from once what was
but in this season it is not what I lost
I lost
watch them go now
as the leaves spill to the ground, around me
shedding the weight, new skins to come
and I've worn out this face
making the trade
of waste
for birth
So I run
into that fire
straight for that sun
and into hell's arms
waiting
for the one
burning to brand
my scarlet heart
I'll do no more harm
skies turned a darker hue
so I'll go on my way
again
to make a
blacker flame burn blue
So I run
into that fire
straight for that sun
and into hell's arms
waiting
for the one
burning to brand
my scarlet heart
and I'll do no harm
I'm sad to see this era of Beastmaker close out but this is a phenomenal way to do! Black Butterfly might be the best thing they've ever done. dianonhead
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
A new single from David Luximon is mesmerizing and atmospheric, soulful vocals alternating with heartfelt spoken word. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2020
The Belgian duo use violin, banjo, gongs and bird calls to create looping, gentle songs that mimic the ambience of the natural world. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2021
Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism.
A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett
