This album draws on influences from 'Kyuss', 'Tool', 'Black Sabbath' & 70's synth-rock; but in a unique tone and style that works so well together. Solid drumming, stylistic bass, soaring guitars & clean vocal stylings...make this a 'must-have' album for 2019!
killer artwork for the album cover/sleeve have been done by
legendary Yukon Artist CHRIS CALDWELL. If you were able to pick up this album on limited blue vinyl, you see the artwork at it's best, along with a free MP3 download of this album!
These guys have me wanting their next album NOW! Just a fantastic debut album from a band that, hopefully; has many more albums to come!

This is good. Reminds me slightly of early FNM in its slightly punky, rock-meets-metal sensibility. Progressive in the sense the musicianship is top notch, and gritty enough not to sound pompous, the music totally rocks. I even think I detect a slight RAGM in there, which when used sparingly is always welcome.

Is proggy where it needs to be and rocking where should be, all in all an excellent blend ...
Favorite track: Curse of Kings.

Loc-Nar I (Den of Earth)

Hear it call in the dark of the night
Transported in a flash of light
New body, same mind, old soul
Neverwhere’s in my control
Den of Earth (That’s what they call me)
Den of Earth (It’s all new to me)
Den of Earth (I’m gunna set ‘em free)
Den of Earth!
Blood red moon starts to rise
The sacrifice, she shuts her eyes
No use left but to pray
Den comes to save the day
Den of Earth (That’s what they call me)
Den of Earth (It’s all new to me)
Den of Earth (I’m gunna set ‘em free)
Den of Earth
Sacrifice to Uluhtc
Escape the Loc-nar’s grasp
Retreat through ancient paths
Rule not these shallow minds
Live free as time unwinds
Den of Earth (That’s what they call me)
Den of Earth (I’m like a Deity)
Den of Earth (It’s all clear to me)
Den of Earth!

No Flesh, All Stone
The ancients set the tone
A field of broken bones
Demise of steel is sewn
Clad in Black
The Druid’s Wrath
The Dice of fate
Are cast too late
Command the Earth to rise
The precipice on high
All hail the mountain wise
The end shall realize
Clad in Black
The Druid’s Wrath
The Dice of fate
Are cast too late
Alone upon this throne
Goddess becomes her own
Trapped in the silver stone
Revolution!
Clad in Black
The Druid’s Wrath
The Dice of fate
Are cast too late

Fallen to Heresy
Burnin’ for what I’d be
I cannot go back to what I have known
I cannot uproot these seed that you’ve sewn
Wrenching and writhing in pain of the change
Breaking forth from humanity’s chains
Lord of the Change
Sheddin’ Mortality
Gainin’ Vitality
Growing of power, it overcomes
Facing the future, without death it numbs
Failing to see, the curse of my fate
Buckling under, the prophecy’s weight
Lord of the Change

Cosmic Exile
04:42

Through the desert, I ride alone
Exiled from my throne
Cast out, by my kin
Never to return again
Under the Mountain, over the Sky
Travel through space and time
Oh the hunger, I must consume
The reality of my doom
Across the plains, I journey on
Never stopping never withdrawn
No rest, until I die
Forever reaching towards the sky

Curse of Kings
10:07

By birth given right, entitled to rule
Never given the choice to play the fool
As life takes its course, the wolves at your neck
Dependent on you, a kingdom in threat
Destined to Fail, life’s growing pale
Beaten by blood
Left in the sand
The passage of time
In the sweep of the hand
Stabbed in the front
By the ones you call friends
The plot it unfolds
And your story ends
I bestow on you the rites of my kin
A king must fall, farewell to him
The path that you choose must be your own
Win or lose, the seeds that you’ve sewn
Wicked in life, righteous in death
Untimely demise, the final breath
Show your strength to the ones that you fear
Keep your enemies close and your friends near

Battlefield:
Fight till you die
Makes you feel alive
Hold the line
Till the end of time
Feel the force, of the hordes
Come crashing down like waves
Fight to be free, fight for the hungry
Fight like the brave
On the field
I’ll meet you today
Bring your shield, I’ll bring my sword
Together we’ll slay
As I lay on the battlefield
Contemplating my life in regret
Will I ever be whole again?
Will I ever be free from them?
As I fade away from life itself
I can feel myself going to hell
Passing on to the abyss
There must be more to life than this
Visions of Beyond:
All is gone in a second
A flash of light, passes me by
Am I going to die?
Rushing forth, the echoes of time
Come to me in the blink of an eye
Is this all I am?
Blinded by desires
But still I see, through prescience
This is my penance
Humbled in the hallowed halls
And this begins my fall
And I see the end
Black Swordsman:
Cry out, cut me down, hear the sound
Pierce the flesh, yes my death would please me now
In the night
I come Alive
When the demons come to face me
I will fight
Attack, fall back, never slack
Wax and wane to feign and strike to kill or maim
In the night
I come alive
When the demons come to face me
I will fight
