Very Metal Their sound is like all the things I love from other bands in this genre, combined perfectly while still sounding original. They got the best fuzz, growl, boom and wah all thrown together with kickarse drumming as a bonus. This needs to be turned up to 11 to fully appreciate it. Perfect for cruising through the mountains with bloodshot eyes. Favorite track: Get the Fuck.
threestarsmash
threestarsmash thumbnail
threestarsmash Southern-fried stoner metal from Greece that is high energy yet sludgy, with plenty of harmonics peppered guitar riffs ("Bullet Dodger"), anvil-heavy grooves like on the couchlocked while lightly flirting with CKY "Snake Oil Merchant," and a hazy, unorthodox yet comfy Clutch meets Morphine comedown in the sax-splashed album closer "I'm Gonna Fly." Favorite track: I 'm Gonna Fly.

Get the Fuck 02:46
I wake up on the floor and I push my body up, my eyes are burning like the sun Mr. Dimebag's melodies are leading the way, leading the way I feel the pain and what I really really mean to say my friend, my day is gonna be ok, it's gonna be ok And I don't give a shit what you say get the fuck out of my way And now it's up to you to join us on the goddamn stage my friend we 're groovin' it away Mr. Hendrix don't you love how we do it today, do it today Look alive, feel the vibe, I 'm inside your mind my friend we 're groovin' it today, we 're groovin' it away
2.
Swerve to the side with a foxy spin Barely a scratch upon your skin Crouch like a tiger, show them your claws Dancing in-between the blows Swing low and I 'm always behind you Dust yourself off without a hitch Raise your glass when life deals a shitty hand Think of me as your sensitive son of a... I 'm your sensitive son of a bitch Sharp like a knife and I'm off the rails I 'm hammered and everything is nails King of hearts, I 'm a jack of all trades And words come out like I spit blades Raise your glass when life deals a shitty hand Think of me as your sensitive son of a... bitch!
3.
Clear is the sky just like the dreams of youth Innocent lies that feed on guilty truth Flicking a cigarette you passed the buck Clean was the cut the day you wished me luck Standing alone I did so much better than you Nothing seems to be the way that used to be Strange how the shadows dance Every time I move the lid I 'm throwing rocks again And I 'm pissing against the wind Same kind of bullshit but a different game Shape of the things to come is not the same Days in my life you know are not so bad Beautiful flowers growing in the mud
4.
Being alone, I 've been building a wall To protect me, or just hide me Nothing to lose or to share or to prove I can rest now, in my bright sky Never before I have felt so alive I grow older, but I 'm stronger Keeping inside all that matters in time They will find me, or deny me
5.
Long time ago, I 've been crawling in mud I 've been screaming, did you hear it? While your felt sure in your dreamhouse world I was bleeding, did you see me? Even the worse couldn't hurt us at all You were preaching, or just dreaming Behind closed doors nothing matters or costs I was knocking, did you lock me? But I can see myself turning into a grey cloud Above your home, above your soul And all your words are drained, praying for my pain Now I' ll drag your hope I' ll drag your soul Feeling so small, a big fish in a bowl I was drifting, did you drown me? While you felt pure like old sheets in a drawer I was burning, did you see me? Feeding the curse, I just wish you all hell Now I 'm leaving, or just breathing Behind the cross two black wings I have grown I 'm escaping, or just faking
6.
[Inspired by an “Old Mother Goose” children's nursery rhyme] Hey! Look! Here's a picture Here is what you can't take with you What you see is a home, not a house Leap! Fly! Catch your thunder Riding on the finest gander I just cannot be with you now Would you leave me behind? Won't you stand by my side? Why? Rain, drops, from your halo Smudged, the sun is no more yellow That's me with a bittersweet smile Cry, wolf, say you 're sorry, Tell me which part of the story You would like me to keep in mind Would you leave me behind? Won't you stand by my side?
7.
Mr Small Brains, I dare you to give it a go, Underestimate me Mrs Fortune, I 'd like you to change your tone 'cause it irritates me Keep on clinging to your mommy's apron strings And your money-making Hear me out and pretend that you do give a shit You can always fake it Mine is one hell of a ride, one hell of a ride Stand up straight boy, you gotta wear them pants Stand up straight boy, you gotta wear them pants I 'm a rascal, I'm a beggar, I 'm a son of a bitch And I lost my marbles I 'm pushin', I 'm a-pushin', up shit creek And without a paddle Little people think less of who I am Should I look so humble? What you see is what you get, I 'm a dangerous bet You can always gamble

River 04:29
As I look myself in the mirror All them lies are getting much clearer I used to live in deception Now I search for my own redemption Hey, life goes away Hey, go find your way I have embraced the distortion But now I' ll break all the options Be strong enough to recover Scars are just the frame of my laughter Hey, life goes way Hey, go find your way Swim in this river Walk on that road Fly in the open sky Fly on
9.
Cold blood and I 'm slowly shedding skin On the mire Forked tongue gently hissing in my ears Like a choir I 'm losing myself in your loving deceit In your embrace I 'm letting your teeth leave marks on my skin And I 'm spitting poison Laid back, let you sink your fangs in me And I 'm on fire Squeeze tight, let me give this one more spin You 're a liar I 'm losing myself in your loving deceit In your embrace I 'm letting your teeth leave marks on my skin And I 'm spitting poison Now squeeze me tight!
10.
I 'm gonna fly into the sky, spread my wings I 'm gonna dive, dive in a lie, that I believe Walk away, fade into the grey shades of my life Rise like a sun, I ain't gonna run, I 'll stand my ground
