Anointing The Sick I'm not even going to start labelling this one. I haven't a clue which direction the band is going in and I suspect neither does the band. That doesn't stop this release being a compelling listen. Favorite track: We Bare the Mark.

Fuzzy Belly 04:37
Something stirs in the leaves something moving we should leave Here Now Something moving on the ground don't make a noise don't make a sound Here Now

The Dark Ones ride through the forest at night His gazed affixed to an orange distant light A black cloud rises through the air As snow falls to the ground Gaining speed he approaches Bodies lie strewn about Some trying to get inside The others try to get out The Blood of the Hunted Rising on the wind So unclean is the air that draws them in The curse is calling The sentence is death What now will you say with your dying breath?

Of oak ash and thorn Fur hooves and horn The embers still glow Off the sheen of the snow Our bones know this cold From the days of old We bare the mark But darkness encroaches And soon will enshrine Like smothering tendrils Dead on the vine Knowing what must be done To return to the sun But there is no more life on the surface to be found We bare the mark

The Endless void beyond the night sky Echoing through time Beckons me to fly What have I become Last time I saw your face it was bloodied Stoic eyes to the sky Cold as stone Alone Windows are opening before my eyes The glass breaks and all I see are memories that fade and I can't pay no mind as the slip by never to be seen again and I don't miss you my friend

Moosataur 05:12
In the forest of Northern Maine There lives such a creature To disturb the night, To become the wilderness Is its only reason for existence I think you know what I mean He stalks the night The only living creature who has Such things to say of pain and of loneliness The only one of his kind The Moosataur The night is his only love The Moosataur he has no children for to live on his name The Moosataur In Northern Maine and parts of Canada The Moosataur Such things in store, He lives beyond the grave The Moosataur His children call his name from beyond the grave The Moosataur A slave to the darkness, feeding on your blood The Moosataur Like the bark of the trees Through his antlers feels the breeze The Wolf, The Mountain Lion All heed his call None shall face the Moosataur He stalks the night Lonely in his grave He's coming back for vengeance upon The loggers of the north. Destroyer of the woods He fights for his homeland and he shall prevail for he is the last of his kind The Moosataur The Moosataur woooooo

about

The Älgfroden was believed to be Icelandic or Nordic in nature, consisting of a creature with a human's body with features of a Moose. This creature was believed to be captured by the Vikings and released into the New World years before civilization to end it's reign of terror on the people. Some say this removal from its own kind embodied the beast with supernatural powers and immortality. On a cold night in Northern Maine and parts of Canada you can still here it's cries off the Northern winds.
