fuzzban it's been a long time since the Thunder Bay heavy scene has had something debut with this much immediate impact, and staying power. Slugbate is a must listen. FFO: Electric Wizard, Kylesa, heavy riffs and beautiful vocal harmonies. Favorite track: Teeth and Bones.

Hares 07:07
Let the river be their cradle Oh maternal sea Waves lulling nursery rhymes Against the silence of the sky Fragmented moonbeams Fractures water still Submerged stillborn dreams Drenched in the blue Silence is where dead hares lie Follow the babes along the river and stop their cries Gone are the days where we played in fields Left to drown in the cold blue Fractured sun gleams Folly on whom held the knife Submerged stillborn screams Dashed on newly red ice Gone are the days where we played in fields Left to drown in the cold blue Saying goodbye I see the sun Over the horizon Never dream again

Sink into me Help me breathe Is this the end of me? Beetles burrow bone My teeth their own Dirt my home My teeth Their own My teeth Their own Sink into earth Eyes gone first Unquenched thirst I've become so cold Body is mould This is my home I can't see I can't feel Rot takes me Consuming Days go by Days go by Days go by Days go by Days go by Days go by Days go by Days go Days go by Days go by Take my eyes Take my flesh Nothing left Nothing left Nothing left

Palmate 05:28
Buried beneath the trees Unmarked and unclean Church bells deafening Screams for their lives Priests, nuns Submerge the unbaptized Drowning the Indian and not the man The crime red skin Wash my hands of sin Father why can’t you find me? Mother why can’t you help me? Stripped of cloth and tongue By righteous murderers Anishinaabemowin Strangled by holy men Stolen from our home All raped by cross and crown Unintended births thrown in the furnace The smoke billows high Come meet us in the sky I want to know where my son has gone Taken so far away I want to know where my daughter has gone Taken so far away I want to know I want to know Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave I want to know where my son has gone Buried unmarked grave I want to know where my daughter has gone Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave (I want to know) Buried unmarked grave (I want to know) Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave Buried unmarked grave
