lyrics

‘O captain, great captain,
Can’t you see what you’re doing to us?
You’re steering us even closer into the storm,
Risking the lives of your loyal crew for your gold.

Scream with me, mutiny!
Make him bleed, butchery!
To his knees, we’ll make him fall!
We will bring an uprising!

Is your greed strong enough to sacrifice yourself?
You must realize that you won’t even be able to claim this prize.

These waves can sweep you overboard before you even get close.
If the waters don’t tame you, the winds surely will.

You’re turning out to be our final deceiver.
A lying pig led by desires of greed and self-worth.
You’re steering us even closer into the storm,
Risking the lives of your loyal crew for your gold.

Scream with me, mutiny!
Make him bleed, butchery!
To his knees, we’ll make him fall!
We will bring an uprising!

Your unjust reign has finally come to an end.
We can live for a new golden age, a new time of glory.
Captain, captain, great captain.
Captain, captain, captain, great captain.

Vibration/Colour/Frequency

Without a doubt one of the most hardworking bands we know, easily deserving of everything they have. Like Dillinger meets Mastodon with some garage rock thrown in. The Greatest Virtue

Very close friends of ours that have been in the scene killing it for quite a while, and like a fine wine or cheese, just keep getting better with age. The Greatest Virtue

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
