The Socialist Birder This really brings the original lyrics to the fore - Mad World is crying out for a similar treatment... 'The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had'! Favorite track: Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

Fil Anthropy Worth the price of admission just for the amazing Tears for Fears cover! Has to be the cover of the year! We're gonna need more of those licence plates... Favorite track: Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
Crypt Guard

Crypt Guard BORT have definitely outgrown their Stoner Rock roots with this EP. They have crossed the desert and arrived in a sprawling forest full of atmospherically occult heavy music. In addition to that they drop the best cover of the year with their brazen rendition of the synth-pop classic "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". They have substantially refined their songcraft and reached a lush sonic highland of Doom Metal.

Bloodcult 06:11
She's lurking behind the altar Painting lines upon the floor She's summoning the beast up From the fiery depths below He's gonna make it the way it was before Hear his claws scratching behind the cellar door He's gonna make it the way it was before She's marching the lambs to slaughter Waning shine, forgotten lore Bloodcult convene in murkwood Underneath dread sycamore He's gonna make it the way it was before The hooves are clacking and rattling the boards He's gonna make it the way it was before Her light it dims Deep within Taking hold Head laced with sin Descent begins Tortured soul Her light it dims Deep within Taking hold Head laced with sin Descent begins Tortured soul He's gonna make it the way it was before Hear his claws scratching behind the cellar door The hooves are clacking and rattling the boards He's gonna make it the way it was before He's gonna make it the way it was before He's gonna make it the way it was before

Cascadia 04:42
The old man wanders through the field Draped in smoke and moss He falls upon a bloodwood teak Found what was once thought lost The ultimate cost Stones are levitating He firmly grips the branch This life is for the taking We never stood a chance The hour grows near Beams cascade on high Feeding off of the fear He can taste their demise With the bark in palm Ground shaking, disturb the calm Endbringer of worlds Evil awaken, the blindfold unfurls The hour grows near Birds fall from the sky End is seen so clear There's no more time The war wages on Inside the fray All hope is gone Fading to grey Eliminate all Unblinking eye leads the way Running through the next dimension Find an answer to the question Is this really all we're here for Live and die and dig our own grave

Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you Acting on your best behaviour Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own desire It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the Most of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I'll be right behind you So glad we've almost made it So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it One headline, why believe it? Everybody wants to rule the world All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world

Visions 08:13
Plagued by visions , dark designs Void messiah turns septic blood to frozen wine Feel him beckon, siren song Part the seas of faceless fatalistic throngs I guess I'm dreaming but I haven't slept in days I feel my mind anesthetize more each and every hellish day There's no justice, only hate His auburn mantle burns the acrolith of fate Insomniac, don't proselytize I've seen the future radiate though demon's eyes I guess I'm dreaming but I haven't slept in days I feel my mind anesthetize more each and every hellish day I try to end it all but still I feel the gallows giving way Is it my fate to walk the earth a shadow of our live's decay Crawl back inside My dark place to hide Crawl back inside My dark place to hide Crawl back inside My dark place to hide
