Desertdrive (full album)

by RED SWAMP

supported by

Mug These guys take great influence from Down and it shows, but the great part is that these guys have delivered an album the members of Down should be proud of. Some of the best riffs I've heard this year. Favorite track: Crossed.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Grainy hard rock/stoner riffage pushed by thunderous rhythms over which strong and equally grainy vocals are expertly delivered.
Good stuff for sure! Favorite track: Waste.

1.	Waste 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Ironic verses and Freudian slips I don’t want anymore Meaningless phrases that try for a twist I’ve heard it all before Lines with no substance Bland views take the piss Your art’s a fucking bore, man! Brother, your words aren’t real Never doubt That you can’t take a chance On sworn disbelief Brother, you can waste another day Chasing shadows on your way You can waste another day Head in the clouds and your hope in the wind Ready to take a bow Waited for something that comes from within But you’re all empty now Yeah! You can waste another day Chasing shadows on your way You can waste another day Chasing shadows on your way But you can’t take a chance On sworn disbelief

Jesus has arrived He’s got a sweet new ride He came to cure the blind Of the nightmares they see Pestilence and famine Can’t serve god and mammon Time to reexamine The things you believe Father son and the holy ghost Wanna bet who loves you the most Crossed Condemn, sanctify Die for the sins that have cursed you Crossed Jesus has arrived He’s got a sweet new ride He came to cure the blind Of the nightmares they see Anger turns the tide Righteous hatred by your side Your savior will provide Ask and you shall receive Father son and the holy ghost Wanna bet who loves you the most Crossed Condemn, sanctify Die for the sins that have cursed you Crossed

The horizon calls to me As I make my way down This long stretch of highway breathes From now I'm darkness bound The blood pumps in my ears My cold heart can't stay calm Why did I do this And was it so wrong ? You had every piece of me Except the one The one I hid from you so long I'm a vessel for instinct Or something even worse I'll keep on driving Toward a black embrace You had every piece of me Except the one Deceit eclipsed by love so long Once the secret's out There's some things You can't take back I'm a vessel for instinct Or something even worse I'll keep on driving Toward a black embrace The blood pumps in my ears My cold heart can't stay calm Why did I do this And was it so wrong? You had every piece of me Except the one The one I hid from you so long Once the secret's out There's some things You can't take back So I held onto my delusions And buried you instead You had every piece of me Except the one Run!
4.	The Emptiest 03:29	lyrics	buy track
A frame of mind I can’t define I feel my anger's justified Spare a second take your time Everything you’ll have to return Spinning out pull me under Every lie you ever told Fantasy of an easy life You won’t last Spinning out drowning under Every lie that leaves me cold Tragedy of an easy life You won’t last long A past that breeds the emptiness Now you stand the emptiest Spare a second take a rest Leaving all others to burn Get ready, this is the time of your life And you live it a day at a time Spinning out pull me under Every lie you ever told Fantasy of an easy life You won’t last Spinning out drowning under Every lie that leaves me cold Tragedy of an easy life You won’t last Spinning out drowning under Every lie that leaves me cold Casualty of an easy life You won’t last long
5.	Leech 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Stop the flame from burning out Let the muse of pain overwhelm me Icy veins entwine my misery She empowers the suffering I’ll be standing here Until I reclaim what I lost within her I’ll be looking back Forever her servant till I get my answers Descend into the torment of my mind Wallow Enter the abyss I feed inside Stop the body from going cold Pray that the goddess of hurt inspires My anguish could turn to release At least for another if not my own I’ll be standing here, I’ll be looking back I’ll be standing here, I’ll be looking back Till I reclaim, I reclaim what I lost Descend into the torment of my mind Wallow Enter the abyss I feed inside Validate the agony of the life I know Open up the cut and spread it wide
6.	Castaways 03:55	lyrics	buy track
I play the game and I lose Still I keep going I watch the TV it’s where I learn the rules I bet my head, I roll the dice Wasted my sanity I’ll be swept up in myself ‘till they get me Shallow sea of faces Let’s flow! Hard waves throw the castaways We crash on your shore someday See them floating See them floating Hard waves throw the castaways We crash on your shore someday See them floating The sea is rising I rig the game that I abuse So I keep going I hear faint cries for help but I refuse Through endless doubt I paid the price For my sick vanity I’ll brave the waters until they forget me Shallow sea of faces Isolated Let’s flow! Hard waves throw the castaways We crash on your shore someday See them floating See them floating Hard waves throw the castaways We crash on your shore someday See them floating The sea is rising Castaways, on your shore someday Castaways, on your shore someday, go!
7.	Rediscover 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Gotta find a way out of here Disappear in a big black hole Escape with me tonight I tried so hard not to give it up Wish I knew back then what I know now War! Contemplating every single move So much harder than before Contemplating, striving to improve This is war Gotta find our way out of here Rediscover our hopeful soul A way to make it right I tried so hard not to give it up Wish I knew back then what I know now War! Contemplating every single move So much harder than before Contemplating, striving to improve This is war
8.	Queen of The Dirt 04:53	lyrics	buy track
Such fear in my heart Such fear in my head Are these my last hours Am I truly dead? Your heat incinerates I haven't met a soul like you Such a green cabaret Let me sing my song Be my queen of the dirt I used to shake from the cold But now I'm burning up I feel the same inside Undeserving of your love But you see it’s me Who’s down below And I’ve been dying here for so long Such fear in my heart Such fear in my head Are these my last hours Am I truly dead? Your heat incinerates I haven't met a soul like you Such a green cabaret Let me sing my song Be my queen of the dirt I got minutes Hours at most In your eyes there's the greatest truth And all I've got is remorse Goddamn! Such fear in my heart Such fear in my head Are these my last hours Am I truly dead? Your heat incinerates I haven't met a soul like you Such a green cabaret Let me sing my song Be the queen of the dirt Within me! Deep deep in me Stowed away in you Sinking down, down, down Deep deep in me Stowed away in you Sinking down!

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario

Woodland Rites

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo

Eye The Tide

These guys are, in my opinion, one of the greatest stoner/sludge band that have popped up in recent years. Sure, you have the "old gods" like Sleep, Electric Wizard, and Kyuss but Spaceslug brings something new to the table. They're fresh, and it seems like they've got no thought of stopping anytime soon.
