You can enter zero for the price to get the album for free. However, before you enter zero for price, think about the bands you like. If you pay for the music you enjoy, you are “voting with your wallet”. You have the opportunity to tell the record companies and the industry what music you would like to hear and what music you think should go on tours. The bands use the monitory contributions from fans to make more of the music you like, go on tour, pay their recording costs, etc. Spiral would like to be one of the bands enough people like to make music full time. If this is your first Spiral album, enter zero, give it a test listen. If you like us, vote for us with your wallet and help us make more music.

1.	In the Desert (Mind Trip in A Minor Part 4) 05:06	lyrics	buy track
In the Desert - A Poem by Stephen Crane In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said: "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter - bitter," he answered; "But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart."
2.	Our Final Days On Bellicus Prime (Demo) 09:38	lyrics	buy track
When they finally took the planet they were sent to watch, every building quaked then fell down. And every child’s eye will follow our last disgrace. And everyone laughs while a billion people die. And there’s nothing we can say now. Our home is gone now. What have you done? What have we done? And for everyone who fought there’s nothing left. There’s nothing left now. The cities decimated The forests burn The oceans boil The population destroyed They made their choice They decided their fate Maybe the next intelligent Species will do better A green plant in the ashes The cycle begins again The cycle begins again

Front cover art comes from a painting by Zdzislaw Beksinski. We want to donate 5% of the money we make on bandcamp for In the Desert (Single) to the Sanok History Museum to help make sure the works of Zdzislaw Beksinski are preserved for future generations but we didn't get a response to our email. If you are a representative of Sanok History Museum, please contact us so we can set that up.

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. frankwurst
