lyrics

Creature of the night goes stalking
While soldiers march with bodies burning
Destruction through dead fields of glory
For the reich young men are falling
Fangs sunk deep into burning flesh
Spares some men and hunts the rest
Like the regime it shows no mercy
Twisted creature of hell’s own courtesy

On crawls the deathstrider
To feast on the poor souls of young men
On crawls the deathstrider
In the veins of war, no one wins

Gleaming shadow lurks under darkness
Preys on innocence, it’s harness
Blinded by its thirst for blood
Like the regime for which the war is fought

On crawls the deathstrider
To feast on the poor souls of young men
On crawls the deathstrider
In the veins of war no one wins

There is no monster between you and me
We’re merely blinded by twisted ideology

Life, it flashes before our eyes
Sucked into the deep depths of time
For a regime we’ve fought and died
Time to repent to the deathstrider
He’s crawling forever today
Full of scars, he won’t ever repay
Blinded by ideology
After death we will be set free

On crawls the deathstrider
To feast on the poor souls of young men
On crawls the deathstrider
In the veins of war no one wins

Dead Star

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

Regenerator

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Deathstrider”

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
