lyrics

Merlin casts
A mage's eye
On Eagles soaring in the sky.
Lightning bolts
On mountain High.
Thunder cracks mute distant cries.

A piper pipes
A piping tune
Far beneath a miller's moon
Marching toward
The ancient runes
Blind to their impending doom

Rivers boil. women scream.
Laymen toil. wizards dream.
Witches brew. Warlocks, too
They'll be blown away (death from above)

Oceans crash
On foamy shores
Vikings cast their mighty oars.
Rivers run
With the blood and gore
Of all who fear the coming lord

Rivers boil. women scream.
Laymen toil. wizards dream.
Witches brew. Warlocks, too
They'll be blown away (death from above)

Gozer casts a ghastly gaze
On villagers he set ablaze.
Gods are choking in the haze
Enslaved in their end of days.

Gozer casts a ghastly gaze
On villagers he set ablaze.
Gods are choking in the haze
Enslaved in their end of days.

Stoner rock/metal with a classic rock filter with intelligence. Great song and timing structures, heavy, big catchy riffs. Vocals are in the level. This album definitely has more of an edge compared to their follow-up album, but it's not even fair to compare one album with another of the same artist when they evolve. Can't go wrong at all picking either/or both albums up here on Ripple 💀💀💀 😵😵😵 ©ough©ool

If you like music that’s even remotely heavy, this EP is for you. It’s hard rock, heavy metal, doom metal, stoner rock, and so much more. My only question is this: WHEN WILL SONIC MEDUSA RECORD AGAIN? Kirk Gauthier
