I remember last September was your third farewell
That rotting smell
Left your notebook by the coathook in the cheap motel
Auto-da-fe misspelled
I'm no soothsayer but you say her excuses don't gel
The warning bell
Sounds its caution now more often as the alibis swell
Growing dark, oh well
I'm breaking open at the bone
I'm straying far from what I know
Your haunting memory fades away
At least I pray for this now
Drowning below
Shaded shallows left unhallowed by a faltering sun
My world undone
Endless rest and empty tests I guess I failed just one
Abrogation
Of your face's holy places, visions, traces, begun
The water runs
Smothering heartaches, tearing parts of me away one by one
Nothing left, it's done
I'm breaking open at the bone
I'm straying far from what I know
Your haunting memory fades away
At least I pray for this now
Drowning below
Go, take away, everything, it's okay
If I grow, up to be, misery, empty just like
You, bird of prey, broken wing, red Sunday,
Let it grow, over me, sight unseen, frozen fever
Dream, getaway, stolen ring, shades of grey,
Fading glow, history, still can't see, doused in gaso-
Lean, over me, worshipping, endless sea,
Undertow, drowning me, you'd agree, with my silent
Scream, go away, poison sting, dead bouquet, never know
Leave me be, lost at sea, just can't let you
Go, take away, everything, it's okay
If I grow, up to be, misery, empty just like
You, bird of prey, broken wing, red Sunday,
Let it grow, over me, sight unseen, frozen fever

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo

As amazing as their first album was (Father of Time), this one is even better.
Gnome produces genius-level guitar work and you've got to hear it!
They claim they're on a quest for the golden riff, but if they haven't already reached it and gone on to look for platinum, my ears must be deceiving me. Richard Lewis

This album is a concentrate of energy. No song is boring, on the contrary each one renews the pleasure. Each song is a classic stoner surprise. Addictive album! Pumpkin Thierry
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021

Recently discovered this band. IF their back catalogue, is as great as this I'll be adding them to my collection.
To my ears they sound like someone has blended early black sabbath with led zepplin's bluesier albums. A much welcome trip to the 70s hard blues heavy metal. welshwizzardd
