Ghost Of Kane

Put your hand on the table, you said
I won’t hurt you, I assure you
You always cleverly led me on
Now i’m the Ghost of Kane and I’m able
I will hurt you, I will show you
Just what you left back in the day
When i’m done
I’ll be a
Rival brother, father figure
Former mentor and employer
Murderer
I was a child, you meant everything to me
I respected you, I adored you
Whenever you ruled the plains I’d pledge my love
In that love you should have better believed, brother
Now i will pet you, i will own you
I'll upset you, I will scold you
I'll lead you off
I’ll be your
Rival brother, father figure
Former mentor and destroyer
Murderer
I’ll make you wait
Forever faint
I’ll make you crave
My love
I’ll be your
Rival brother, father figure
Former mentor and destroyer
Murderer

Armaments

I listen to the sounds I make
I’m listening, I rock and shake
I figure just what I want to say
Can’t mess no more still cannot change
I’m wildstraining
In the fearsome armaments
(I want to)
Stand up straight step right up
Feel the weight and bear the cup, yeah
Never falter, never faint
Release the sinners and still feel a saint
Wear the mask, fake with ease
Carry wars then rest in peace
Snuff your questions, hide your cancer
Whatever you’re asking
Whatever’s the task
It’s like everyone everywhere always
Will be answering
You’re wildstraining
In the fearsome armaments
It’s not the time for kings
Forever here you go again
Millennium
I listen to the sounds I make
I’m listening I rock and shake
I figure just what I want to say
Can’t mess no more still cannot change
I’m wildstraining
In the fearsome armaments
It’s not the time for kings
Here you go again

Constant Wailer

I’m a constant wailer
I am a witness to your shame
See them perpetrators
They’ll never quit calling you names
I mourn your fortune
I sing of everything you’re not
I’m recording your downfall baby
Forever lamenting your lot
Tell me what forced you to stay here
Whoever said ‚stay in the game‘
Did it make you braver
To watch the ruin, taste the blame
I deplore what’s in store for you
I will be tracing your disgrace
I feel so sorry for you baby
To forever hold it in your face
I call woe unto you
One two three you’re going down
I’m your commemoration
I am the one to carve your name
Defending your creation
What they denied you I will claim
I will chronicle your passion
And I will write your epitaph
I’ll remember what happened to you baby
I’ll tell the world about your love
Rememberance is passion
And pity is a star
I’ll tell the world about your love
I’ll tell them who you were
I’m a constant wailer
I am a witness to your shame
See them agitators
They’ll never quit calling you names
I mourn your fortune
I sing of everything you’re not
I’m recording your downfall baby
Forever lamenting your lot
I call woe unto you
One two three you’re going down

Sabotage Incarnate
05:16
|
|||
|
Rivers run dry
No more lovers at your fee
And no more love in this language
You're missing a beat
These songs are sung
There's hard tunes ahead
Scraping the sex from your soul
Was it something I said
I'll rip your heart out darling
And then you're going give me some head
You know how power looks on me
I wanna see you trip
I wanna see you spread
I'm wielding failure like a ribbon
Floating overhead
You can kick about and struggle all night
Remember I'm the one who put you to bed
What do you want from me
I've given you everything
I cannot do this for another 20 years
What do you want from me
I forgive you while you kiss my ringed fist
I consecrate your ways
Your transgressions I will bless
You want to wear my mask so bad
But it doesn't fit
Remember
A good boy in his dark desires
Is still aware of virtue's ways
I'M the specter that will haunt you
wherever you stick your tongue
I'm waiting there with all your questions
I am sabotage incarnate
I'm singing your songs boy
Have you got no sense of the mess you're in
What do you want from me
I've given you everything
I cannot do this for another 20 years
What do you want from me
Why won't you take a spin
Why won't you let me in
What is this thing you're trying to be

An Addiction
02:19
|
|||
|
There’s a gap inside the people’s soul
There’s a hole in time
Beyond control
The high will help you not to bother
All the rage won’t fill your empty heart
Spin the needle
Let me be your god
The blame stays always with the others
And if the world were turning smooth
You want friction
What is the black hole in your chest
But an addiction
Dear father
You were a user too
What’s it they gave you
What have they done to you
The same proportions
Craze and pressure
Collective deathwish
What are you dreaming of
You want love
So you rid yourself of love
Your smack
Your ignorance
Your rapture
And if these chants of hate grow stronger
It’s self-infliction
What is the madness of a mass
What is the need to shoot up fast
What’s the oblivion of the past
But an addiction

Chrome Animals Berlin, Germany
CHROME ANIMALS were formed in Berlin by Kriton Klingler-Ioannides in 2015. They play rock and roll in minor with reverberated guitars and synth bass which has been compared to a mix of White Lies, Editors and Trentemøller. After hosting members of the live incarnations of Crystal Castles, IAMX or Peaches on their casting couch, their debut EP 'THE RUMOUR' was released in 2016. ... more
Chrome Animals recommends:
Anders Trentemøller is king. Immaculate in production skills, musicality and taste. A perfect symbiosis of electronic and 'analogue' elements, referencial to his idols as well as genuinely inspired.

It doesn't get much better than having The Kills citing a grandmaster of language, a samurai of the spoken word: Saul Williams.

Hear Me Out - Album
by Reignwolf
Jordan Cook and his band are the most exciting live act there is these days. There is nothing comparable to a Reignwolf show, except to the big bang maybe. This album can be your gateway drug.
