dharmalogos Female-fronted alternative metal that reminds me of Motion Device but less technical. A fairly original sound. Not an amazing album, but it's enjoyable. Imagine nu-metal with the suck taken out.

That Which Cannot Be Named In that moment all is finite slick liquid mercury thick all is still and ever moving slowly slowly slowly slowly crushing atoms birthing worlds in your grasp, rome falls, over and over floating, suspended, upon a single silver thread flying silent, through worm holes, through ways, through that which cannot be named creation bursts from stone, a million flowers through a million windows growing, reaching, ascending toward the sun burning burning burning, toward the sun black liquid washes flushing through the city streets, pulsing black liquid washes flushing through the city streets, pulsing pulsing black liquid washes flushing through the city streets pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing pulsing slipping under doors seeping through brick walls, slipping under doors seeping through brick walls burning that which obstructed life infinite galaxies inside your eyes seeing all she severs all, time to start again glass implosions, showering glittered heaven around our ears finally, no more meaninglessness, finally, a day to make a difference finally, a will, a way black it strangles white, as red it strangles grey and blue blue blue blue as far as your tiny eyes can take you a fleck of life, it flitters through the haze, it screams out for its retribution, it severs the emptiness it lives on love and it becomes hope.

Infinova 05:31
INFINOVA Through the darkness, distant drums from the silence, she becomes all empowered, all aligned, finally it is my time through the darkness, distant drums from the ashes, she becomes all empowered, all aligned, finally it is my time then you realise, your time is spent inspiration no longer heaven sent lets join the herd and just follow, follow to face what could have been, what life was meant to mean its a big fat pill, too hard to swallow, too hard to swallow years decay becomes minutes only midnight tells the truth and takes my hand, and slows me down gonna help me find my religion, because im gonna make you gods gonna help me find my religion, because im gonna make you gods im gonna make you- gods Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do when the liars come and they want to claim you? Where you gonna go, are you gonna run when the time it comes and the truth it calls you? Everybody knows, everybody goes To the deep dark pit its waiting for you Or are you gonna stay, are you gonna say that no matter what no body owns you? Searching for the meaning in the madness searching for the meaning searching for the meaning in the madness crying for the tragedy, of the sadness Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do when the liars come and they want to claim you? Where you gonna go, are you gonna run when the time it comes and the truth it calls you? Everybody knows, everybody goes To the deep dark pit its waiting for you Or are you gonna stay, are you gonna say that no matter what no body owns you? Through the darkness, one succumbs from the emptiness don't run now devoured, come inside lies and truth they will collide Winking moonlight whispers secrets down from the ascending sky midnight darkness comes again and saves the artist from his end searching for the meaning in the madness crying for the tragedy, of the sadness...

Restless Tyrant A sonnet you will never read A feather you will never feel A somebody you will never meet A song that I will never hear, a song that I will never hear And so I call upon the gods, to tally, tally up my odds I can no longer call the shots I am sinking out at sea, come all to wittness the decree this restless tyrant called me Only a star in mothers eyes Only a master of my small domain Writing this to save to file, oh so sorry for myself I am no longer in denial, I am no longer in denial And so I call upon the gods, To tally, tally up my odds I can no longer call the shots I am sinking out at sea, come all to wittness the decree this restless tyrant called me I think id rather lie in bed, hear the beauty in my head than risk that imperfection I think id rather lie in bed, hear the beauty in my head than risk that imperfection, than feel that self rejection i'd like to sit here frozen until I reach perfection until the planets align and my voice cannot be heard for the sound of oblivion i'll look back and see the chain perfection was for the chain that it was for me Forever I will dream in black in red in white the orchestra I lead tonight because of me will never see the light I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods, I call upon the gods!

Illiterate Lament I am a bird sitting in its cage I sometimes stare up at the sky But mostly I can’t take the pain And so I decorate my bars I groom my feathers and pretend I remember how to fly To fly I can’t read, I can’t write God made me, for one thing I need to sing till the oceans engulf me Sing until the clouds crack And Jesus comes back And tells me that I can’t read, I can’t write God made me, for one thing I am drowning in an endless sea I am starving in a cave But I can no longer scream I have no sound I meditate on the suffocating lack that I feel I pretend that I can die Can die I can’t read, I can’t write God made me, for one thing I need to sing until the oceans engulf me Sing until the clouds crack And Jesus comes back And tells me that I can’t read, I can’t write God made me, for one thing Dreaming is all that is real Everything else is society’s social sewage That stops you from believing in what you deserve That stops you from believing in what you deserve

Fistful of Violets I see clearly through your haze I am the mere mortal Who will haunt you And pursue you Throughout all your days, throughout all your days I am the one Who will poster your face All over this town, All over this place I will climb the highest mountain Just to look down upon you, Just to stare down around you Can you hear my roar That’s pouring Outside from within Oozing from my insides Bursting from my heart And for me and you And you and me This is always, always, Always the hardest part This is always. Always, Always the hardest part I am the mere mortal, Who will haunt you And pursue you Throughout all your days, Throughout all your days Im gonna cut out the sun so you know its begun Im gonna call out your name now you will feel my pain Im gonna do it over and over and over Im gonna do it over and over again Im gonna do it over and over and over Can you hear my roar That’s pouring Outside from within Oozing from my insides Bursting from my heart And for me and you And you and me This is always, always, Always the hardest part This is always. Always, Always the hardest part I see clearly through your haze I am the mere mortal Who will haunt you And pursue you Throughout all your days, throughout all your days I am the one Who will poster your face All over this town, All over this place I will climb the highest mountain Just to look down upon you, Just to stare down around you

Soul Diver 08:16
SOUL DIVER I gotta get out, somethings playing a joke on me I'm trapped in a physical realm, obsessed with what I'd rather be The pain is too real, I stare into the eyes of god the truth too potent, the abyss too dark, too deep I must succumb or perish, I must succumb or perish, I must succumb or perish I must succumb or perish, I must succumb or perish I must succumb come, I must succumb come I gotta get out, somethings playing a joke on me I'm trapped in a physical realm, obsessed with what I'd rather be We weave a web of words, empty, hollow we weave a web of words, empty, shallow show me someone something - to follow comfortable now, in hibernation, i wake, I breath, I close my eyes tomorrow- will be- different Now the thoughts are creeping, up the walls through the doors, Now the thoughts are creeping, up the walls through the doors No one can save you save you now a dense tapestry of triviality, dense tapestry of triviality I only find salvation, by giving you the hope I wish I had The beauty of the art, as it eats you from the inside out the stillness of the moment, when your passion makes you ill, but you continue still how do you continue still? And now a change is in the wind confusion cloaked and cunning and now a change is in the wind you're on your way you're running meaninglessness or- magnetic destiny? Freedom in the realisation that without the struggle there is no reward Freedom in the realisation that without the struggle there is no reward Freedom in the realisation that without the struggle there is no reward I gotta get out, somethings playing a joke on me I'm trapped in a physical realm, obsessed with what I'd rather face the darkness, staring down into the deep shining light to every crack, every corner be a fool or be a definer Time to let go, time to trust the universe and its silent caress, and its silent caress

I see an open door where there are only walls I see an open door where there are only walls I hold within my hand my key to the promised land stare down into the deep, time has come and now you weep time to reap, time to reap, time to reap just like i found the grasp of a love that lasts I know that I will be what the verse wishes of me all I truly ever feel is that I am waiting to be real

The City in the Sea Words by Edgar Allan Poe
(1809-1849) Lo! Death has reared himself a throne. 
In a strange city lying alone 
Far down within the dim West, 
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best 
Have gone to their eternal rest. 
There shrines and palaces and towers 
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!) 
Resemble nothing that is ours. Around, by lifting winds forgot, 
Resignedly beneath the sky 
The melancholy waters lie. 
No rays from the holy heaven come down 
On the long night-time of that town; 
But light from out the lurid sea 
Streams up the turrets silently- 
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free- 
Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls- 
Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls- 
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers 
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers- 
Up many and many a marvellous shrine 
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine 
The viol, the violet, and the vine. Resignedly beneath the sky. 
The melancholy waters lie. 
So blend the turrets and shadows there 
That all seem pendulous in air, 
While from a proud tower in the town.
Death looks gigantically down. 

 There open fanes and gaping graves. Yawn level with the luminous waves; 
 But not the riches there that lie.
In each idol's diamond eye- 
Not the gaily-jewelled dead 
Tempt the waters from their bed; 
For no ripples curl, alas! Along that wilderness of glass- 
No swellings tell that winds may be. 
Upon some far-off happier sea- 
No heavings hint that winds have been. 
On seas less hideously serene. 
On seas less hideously serene. 
 But lo, a stir is in the air! 
The wave- there is a movement there! 
As if the towers had thrust aside, 
In slightly sinking, the dull tide- 
As if their tops had feebly given a void within the filmy Heaven. 
The waves have now a redder glow- 
The hours are breathing faint and low- 
And when, amid no earthly moans, 
Down, down that town shall settle hence, 
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, 
Shall do it reverence. Lo! Death has reared himself a throne. 
In a strange city lying alone 
Far down within the dim West, 
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best 
Have gone to their eternal rest. 
There shrines and palaces and towers 
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!) 
Resemble nothing that is ours. Around, by lifting winds forgot, 
Resignedly beneath the sky 
The melancholy waters lie. 
No rays from the holy heaven come down 
On the long night-time of that town; 
But light from out the lurid sea 
Streams up the turrets silently- 
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free- 
Up domes- up spires- up kingly halls- 
Up fanes- up Babylon-like walls- 
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers 
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers- 
Up many and many a marvellous shrine 
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine 
The viol, the violet, and the vine.

Once 04:02
Once Once a game called life was played where all fears of why were shed, along the path i lost my way conflicting “truths” led me astray Crimeless, guiltless, as newborn now doubtful, jaded, travel-worn like begging night to bring the day I keep my soul locked away I keep my soul locked away saw the pain I cant deny, saw them starve I heard them cry why do I get to be free? throw me out and weep for me my salvation I can see, help others and ease a fear lock my heart up out of sight ease the voices of the night I keep my soul locked away I keep my soul locked away Once a game called life was played where all fears of why were shed, along the path i lost my way conflicting “truths” led me astray, crimeless, guiltless, as newborn, now doubtful, jaded, travel-worn.... now I promise stick around While the howls from hell resound Follow now a distant drum Little one and find thee home I will stay and guard the ground While the devil goes his round

THE GLITTER LENS Lurking in a silent hell Where normal people do not dwell life is one unbearable pause. Trust the glossy super stars, seemingly yield such great powers, keeping watch from gucci towers, idols take the pain away save our dreams for another day. The darkest hour we confess a yearning for gods caress moment there is nothingness Nothing save the fears that brood Over the artists solitude. Ah, she will push my faith to its knees show the truth amid the sleaze queen that heals our doubt disease Ah, not by chance is passion driven her material world a Heaven all need a leader to believe in Behind the glitter lens that lies bedazzles billions, changes lives. After the giddy scream and wave and weep for she ignites a flame, the fame worship her meaning till their persecution finally stops. time to let go, time to let go, time, time, time, time in the midst of all we pray be a part of earths ballet. The darkest hour we confess yearning for our gods caress moment there is nothingness Nothing save the fears that brood Over the artists solitude. Ah, she will push my faith to its knees show the truth amid the sleaze queen that heals our doubt disease Ah, not by chance is passion driven her material world a Heaven need a leader to believe in Behind the glitter lense that lies bedazzles billions and chan-ges lives. After the giddy scream and wave and weep for she ignites a flame The fame, worship her meaning till their persecution finally stops. I weep for within I face my ends a flash of what I could be suspends reinvent what it means to excel teach the people to rebel. travel to our distant shores, staring up beyond stars, Gives gatification for hours, Watching o' her precious flowers, all negativity gives way the lonesome travellers become a bouquet. We all need a bold angel with finesse need her eccentricity to push us, progress now because of you I can express within our artists' solitude the dreams I bear they shine, renewed the dreams I bear they shine, renewed thankyou... Ah, by no wind may I cross those seas that seperate my future from me to touch my face as I succeed Ah, ah, ah only blind trust which is hidden by no one atonement given to reject the calling is forbidden

Seas Black 05:25
Seas Black A deep breath of a dark city a hesitant step forward, into the mist of the future A clenched fist and a slowly opening eye first we come, we stay and then we die first we come stay and then we, die The rapture, the flame will it be the same again The rapture, the flame will it be the same again Lets cross the great divide, ill show you what it means to live to know that one day I, will die my heart, my soul, this light inside I will always be, a soft sigh speckled silver filament kissing every corner folding into god like forms disintegrate, to become sky disintegrate, to become sky The rapture, the flame will it be the same again The rapture, the flame will it be the same again Lets cross the great divide, ill show you what it means to live to know that one day I, will die my heart, my soul, this light inside I will always be, a soft sigh Lets cross the great divide, ill show you what it means to live to know that one day I, will die my heart, my soul, this light inside I will always be, a soft sigh...

about

Beyond the worlds of alternative, classic, progressive rock and metal, Sarcood exist in a realm of their own. Building from a startling array of musical influences, they’ve ripped up the blueprints to build their own vision. A huge universe of sound and scope, that truly expands on the possibilities of these genres.

Soaring, swooping vocals, wrap themselves around you and combine with apocalyptic, coiling riffs, rhythms and atmospherics that will take you on a journey from heaven to hell, through every nuance and emotion in between and all the way back again. Never once are you out of their control, as they kiss you one minute, then cut you the next.

With a self-titled debut brimming with an assuredness, intelligence and song-craft that is quite simply immeasurable, Sarcood are the Kings and Queens of a brand new landscape of harder edge sounds.
