Lappin' on a salt lick, sittin' on a landmine That's how I spent most my years Black cloud sittin' on my shoulder Tryin' to squeeze out another tear There's an idea, sounds like a plan (All we need is a broken window) Throw me a stone (All we need is a broken window) Bring it all down (It all starts with a broken window) Throw me a stone (All we need is a broken window) Open up the rabbit gum, fire up the griddle Gonna jump on the gravy train Write a check and I'll make you an offer Time to open up another bank Come in through the backdoor Put Xs 'cross your eyes Twinkle little star Diamond in the sky

These are the seasons That drive men to madness I heard the raven call Seeking provisions For harlots and beggars Their demons enslave them all Dancing on fire, I go ablaze Singing a banshee’s wail… …the hunt goes on! …the night rolls on! Am I dreaming… of screaming Or is the pain in their eyes Only erased by the night Am I dreaming… of screaming Awakened a blood-lusted rage Outside reality’s cage To follow the eagle Through darkness of cloud And ascend the mountain side I fashioned a portal Of cinder and shroud Left from a demon’s hide Up to the sky, nigh on the moon Riding the phoenix tail …the hunt goes on! …the night rolls on!

Oh, cruel light of day I can't hide in my own shadow No darkness evades When the matrix ruptures Black mountain Emerge from the sea Billowing smoke Red fog glowing Oh, cruel nakedness I can't hide in my own shame No skin can contain The stigma of decay Earth… bleeds Can't stop the overflow Earth… feeds With teeth of brimstone Sinkhole Swallow

LAMPERJAW's first studio endeavor and first multi-track public release, this is a true demonstration of the band's progression since their formation. Tracks 1 through 3 represent years 1 through 3 respectively, each exhibiting in various ways the breadth of influences upon the band's heavy sound. This is merely a glimpse, a foreshadowing, of what LAMPERJAW has in store for the masses.

"OH HELL YEAH... blend of Southern Metal tinged with slabs of Sludge, Stoner and Doom Metal should get your heart-beat pumping as it's packed full of great riffs... groovy as hell licks and awesome vocals to match... passion and raw anger coming at you from every direction. Some intense guitar solos... “Menace of a Cruel Earth” is a song DOWN would be proud to call their own... they have the potential to go a long way indeed. Southern Metal with a dark, dangerous and addictive edge. Awesome stuff."
—Steve Howe, The Sludgelord

"…drunken-stomping the line between sludge and Southern heavy… their real potential comes out on the seven-minute “Menace of a Cruel Earth,” which moves from low-in-the-mouth whoa-yeah-style grit across a successful linear build to a harmonized, well-arranged apex."
—H. P. Taskmaster, The Obelisk

"…it’s Southern sludge metal at just about its best… it definitely deserves to be heard…"

about

LAMPERJAW Lambsburg, Virginia

Prepare to be confounded by the audacious, audial onslaught of this low-down, dirty band of bow-legged, box-ankled, lantern- jawed, crooked-nosed, wall-eyed, gun-totin', goozle-chopping, cat-hamed pukes. Open your ears and hold your noses. Open wide your gullets and exuberantly imbibe the pile-driving dose of Southern remedy you never knew you needed. ... more
