To stand against rising hostility
There can be no bending of will
Gaslight attempt fueling venom contempt
Integrity is sometimes the bitterest pill
I will swallow these toxins down
Invincible to your arrow’s sting
My blood become fire – my triumph, your pyre
I am the Poison King
Immunize yourself against the infection
Shield your heart with a strong dose of pride
With each sip of the bane, feel no weakness remain
They cannot kill what has already died
Forever swallowing toxins down
Invulnerable to your arrow’s sting
My blood is fire – my triumph, your pyre
I am the Poison King
The antidote is the poison
The cure is the blight
Forever swallowing toxins down
Invulnerable to your arrow’s sting
My blood is fire – my triumph, your pyre
I am the Poison King
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
Almost entirely off-the-rails, unhinged, reckless USPM-style heavy metal from Finland that is frankly irresponsible and has little (if any) regard for following the rules.
In other words, awesome. Ryan
