about

From the upcoming Smote Reverser:

Crack the coffers, Oh Sees have spawned another frothy LP of head-destroying psych epics to grok and rock out to. You’ll notice the fresh dollop of organ and keyboard prowess courtesy of "Memory of a Cut Off Head” alum and noted key-stabber Tom Dolas...the Quattrone/Rincon drum-corps polyrhythmic pulse continues to astound and pound in equal measure, buttressed by the nimble fingered bottom end of Sir Tim Hellman the Brave and the shred-heaven fret frying of John Dwyer, whilst Lady Brigid Dawson again graces the wax with her harmonic gifts. Aside from the familiar psych-scorch familiar to soggy pit denizens the world over, there’s a fresh heavy-prog vibe that fits like a worn-in jean jacket comfortably among hairpin metal turns and the familiar but no less horns-worthy guitar fireworks Dwyer’s made his calling card. Perhaps the most notable thing about Smote Reverser is the artistic restlessness underpinning its flights of fancy. Dwyer refuses to repeat himself and for someone with such a hectic release schedule, that stretching of aesthetic borders and omnivorous appetite seems all the more superhuman. Hope you’re hungry as these platters are piled high

lyrics

Murdered
Flayed
Sucking Disease
What is the point of it all?

Flee
Bleed
Fucking bled clean
What is the point of it all?

Dead
Hard
Flecked with disease
What is the point of it all?

Running
Stabbed
Innocent lives
What is the point of it all?

Ceiling
Walls
Freckled with blood
What is the point of it all?

Curdled
Rot
Brindled with shot
What is the point of it all?

Please
Please
Down on your knees
What is the point of it all?

Barren
Burned
Vacant of trees
This is the end of it all
