lyrics
I have seen the beast disguised as human being
I have seen its evil eyes staring right at me
Across the generations it crawls over the earth
Sorrow death and famine sowing on its way
The darkest of the ages commenced with our spawn
Hell is not a myth no more, hell is on and on
If I am doomed by the stigma of The Man,
I also have the power to throw it all away
Looking deep inside myself is clear for me to see
Who the hell on earth did put this spell on me
One hand holds a battle axe, the other plays a lyre
I know it´s up to me to set the world on fire
Poisoned eyes
Brainwashed minds
They won´t leave me behind
Twisted lives
Wicked lies
It´s time to face
The evil powers of The Man
This is the age of man
This is the age of The Man

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2022
