What the Wizard Knows

he walks through caves and hidden glades
forges swords with unknown ways
His hands are deft and rarely slip
his eyes are sharp and never miss
And late at night when we all sleep
His eyes are open to things unseen
He captures evil and swallows it
and keeps his people safe from harm
His robes are long to keep him in
he staff is strong to keep us out
but with all the power he holds
nothing can prepare him for what’s to come

He was born from red dust / and the dying breath of thorny plants / He eats the science between your empty words / and digests a new language / He was brimming with dark water / a slowly drowning child / Moved across the land so slowly / and shat a twisted scar / His heart bends like a flailing arm / and snaps like a dry twig / His face is fluid like a flashing grin / and gouged like volcanic flow / His arms bulge like clogged barrels / and fire like shattered pistons / His legs drag like flippers on dry land / and swim like broken motors / He’s crawling out across this land / and choking down his worthless words / He’s spitting out bile and machinery / and building his corrupted dream

about
The single for our upcoming album "The Madman in the Forest". Like the album, these songs were recorded in quarantine. Bill and I passed them back and forth digitally and added new parts each time until these songs took shape! Stay safe, everyone!
The A side is one of the songs from the new album. The B side is a reworking of the first track off of Spiral's first record.

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+...

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.
go to album -
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.
