lyrics

December 5th, 1916, the end of an era
Jarbridge, Nevada, one dead and four thousand gone
A robbery of stagecoach again
Off with the treasure, buried forever
A promise of freedom couldn't unlock his tongue
Never again would a stagecoach be robbed
The old ways were dying, the new ways beginning
New evidence used to convict
The Old West had seen its time, and it would never return
Once the mystery is gone
A new thing must be explored
The West that we knew, dead and gone, territories are states
Systems that we create die
Nothing that we build will last
Modernity becomes ancient
Leaves a trail of waste in its path
Unforgiving are the sands of time

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass). Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
