Zhakathoom I'm pretty sure this isn't the worst album cover ever made, but I'm pretty sure that it has put more people off from checking this release out than the other way around.

What else could explain the "appears in 1 other collection" at the bottom here? Because the EP is really, really good. A fistfull of hooks and solid vocals makes this rock/heavy album a listeners treat, and I for one am surprised it's not featured in a lot more collections.

Zombies 02:44
Rain, come put the fire out, yeah It's burning too long Hold tight to your things, yeah When the flood come We'll see who sink or swim It won't be long Run from the back of the herd Oh but there is no forward drift along corporeal seas Dead eyes leading dead bodies

$ 03:01
It suits a man to toil to gain his bread and prosper to cheat the games of nature is to trust in ground that falters you will be eternally ripped apart for your black heart dollar signs in your eyes it’s no wonder you can’t see straight you slap the market ride the wave No matter who gets fsucked in undertow Oh no no. behind the pillars is the gold All the rest are left in the cold Holy houses, behind the pillars is the gold Are you binded, blinded by the light Arise we were meant to earn this

Ruined 03:36
Swing low, save me though I deserve this Their eyes cut deep so I am useless Deaf, dumb, indifferent Blind, numb and listless I'm ruined Shadows greet me, hollow scenery So now end this 'cause I am useless

Distorted receptors. Peroxide Halo. Black soulless Windows. Abandoned vessel Automatic mania induced by the C.R.E.A.M. What a waste of a sister, no one shits clean proportional face on a walking disgrace shame to your kind for a waste of a mind. You don't fool me I don't care to see all the bile drooling out your lips reeks of fabrication without conviction i think the bleach has seeped into your brain, hun They gave you the keys, your legs gave out Commanding armies to follow you 'round you keep it tight though your play it loose look there's a mirror, get lost in you.

Show me signs, make me blind. Wanted love, got a war. laissez faire, without a car. politicking, turkey dinner. Fall asleep, wake up never. Pie fucking celluloid. Fake butter hyper-real news. Lips inflated with the deadly spit of snakes I think I'm in too deep now. Yeah, need to turn the sound way down Feel them slithering around. the snakes are coming. Homemade version of a viral copy of some tome forgotten for so long they can't remember freedom lost replace by a leash to keep the children in line. They cometh.

Rex 02:36
Where were you? I called and prayed til I was blue Where were you? Messages they said you left I want to hear it from your lips Oh Rex! My lord so tremendous is her roar. It filters through Today I come to meet you no gates, no harps only silence and the dark, oh the dark Rex! Where were you? Where were you? Oh Rex! Messages they said you left. I wanna hear it from your lips. Rex! My lord so tremendous is her roar. It filters through Today I come to meet you No gates, no harps, just the dark Oh the dark

Thieves 03:26
Wolves bay, moon delights, cowards are hidden, and thieves do dine Aging serenade, asleep while the devil's at play Ride now, tide is out, demons are lurking and fire's abound. Son, you may not come home. Time is a river and you are a stone. Living in this pretty prison. That's the mission: pure submission.
