Colin M. I really dig the production here. The guitars and bass really pop and the drums have an insanely satisfying thump to them. Add that to the blues-flecked doomy stoner riffs and catchy vocals and you have a damn fine record. Favorite track: Banner.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Doom-ish stoner/hard rock grooves flecked with bluesy tones over which clean,slightly monotone vocals are delivered.
Good stuff! Favorite track: Pioneers.

Gold! 03:31
Under the granite in the western hills Something shiny and pure A disease that spread around the world And the gold is the cure Tear the treasure from the veins of the earth Rock sand and mud A filthy Eden built in a day On whiskey and blood Drunken masses fill saloon and bar Land of moral decay Fist, gun and inebriation Give the devil his pay A little sunshine under the earth To sooth a weary soul This fire started here And now it’s out of control Greed is a fire Watch it burn going higher and higher Gold is a fire Watch it burn going higher and higher

Pioneers 06:32
Follow the Western trail Into the sun We leave the world behind Into oblivion We cross the burning desert Around the poisoned sea The miserable miles unending The reckless and the free We are the chosen ones Manifest destiny Oh pioneers lean forward Into the storm Gold dust in our eyes We are the fortunate ones We cross the endless wasteland The wretched and the brave One foot on the trail One foot in the grave We are the chosen ones Manifest destiny

Bit By Bit 04:49
Up in those lofty mountains Stopped dead by freezing snow Hellish Peaks of madness Icy winds do blow Up in the mouth of madness Cursed valley of the damned Starvation grinds unending Turn on your fellow man Bit by bit by bit I set the animal free Bite by bite by bite I lost my humanity Tonight we atone With Tooth flesh and bone Bit by bit by bit I set the animal free
4.
Banner 04:18
Beneath the pines I stake my claim Toil for hours in the snow and rain Crooked shack of tin and rot Crouched alone with just my thoughts Scrape and claw through the red red clay Curse the night and hate the day A mile down by kerosene glow Banner Mountain gonna take my soul Sweet dreams and American nightmares In these hills of lies and bones Sweet dreams and American nightmares We fools, far from our homes
5.
What if your faith is just a hopeless delusion? A fear of death and mankind’s timeless confusion Made up gods to keep the fear out of sight When we were monkeys trembling in the night Choose your morality by what you can gain A grinning hypocrite, twisted and vain From behind your walls you look to the sky Self righteous pusher of a holy lie I find I'm losing faith and Heaven don't care I've already seen hell
6.
Monster 05:26
I am the monster that lurks in the trees My mind is empty My conscience at ease I walk the diggings at midnight alone I am the murderer that has no home I am the monster -In the dark I am the monster -In the dark I am the nightmare so near but so far I am the cannibal asleep at the bar From Malakoff to North Star I’m the chill in the breeze I am the parasite That takes what he needs I am the monster -In the dark I am the monster -In the dark
7.
Seduced and twisted by the mother lode Horseback devils on the open road We’ll leave you lying by trail Masked marauders spreading death and woe From Sacramento to old Mexico You will know my name There’s an invisible line Between what’s yours and what is mine For the criminal mind And I'm the criminal kind Under societies shell In a poison wishing well A heart of darkness A heart of darkness Voices calling from the underworld Whisper softly to each boy and girl They’re drawn like moths to the flame Dark disciples of depravity tear back the skin of false morality And you will know their name It’s just a matter of time Before we leave this world behind I’m taking what’s mine I’m not standing in line Under societies shell In a poison wishing well A heart of darkness A heart of darkness beats alone

Kick Away 05:57
I curse the icy mountains frigid and dead I curse my villainy and its trail of red I curse the angels that helped me survive I curse the bastards that I left alive Kick away old friends, It’s my turn next I'll be in Hell with you soon I guess This mountain skyline is the last thing I’ll see Up here swinging from this old oak tree Kick away Drinking and killing is all that I know I guess old Lucifer put a rot in my soul Walk by my tombstone and mutter a curse Here lies the cannibal six feet in earth Kick away old friends, It’s my turn next I'll be in Hell with you soon I guess This mountain skyline is the last thing I’ll see Up here swinging from this old oak tree Kick away

about

SWAMP DEVIL

Swamp Devil is a rock/stoner metal/doom metal band from Portland Oregon USA founded in 2010.

Although borrowing from many modern genres, Swamp Devil’s core sound is rooted in the power and depth of early heavy metal and rock. An unholy mix of sludgy doom riffs and classic heavy metal power. And, yeah… we really like Black Sabbath.
