250 horsepower for maximum performance
Custom interior with purple shag carpeting
It's got a minibar stocked full of Hennessy
Spray painted picture of himself on the outside
Step into the Wizard Van
Go with him for a ride
Get into the Wizard's Van
Help him. He's just searching for something
I'll bet you'll like the smell of stale Pall Mall cigarettes
You get this and more. Enjoy all the ambiance
Tonight's the night when we'll finally find the guy
To peel the curtain back and reveal the other side
We'll take a detour through the deep dark countryside
We'll drive until there's no stars to see in the sky
You'll feel vibration from the gravel down below
Black Mountain Pass. Buckle up. Here we go

A journey
Down an old, forgotten path
To honor the lives of his forefathers
Who have long abandoned this realm
At the edge of the divide
He can see the stars above
He feels their spirits follow him
But he's unsure if they are real
Flesh off the bone
Blood from a stone of Orion
Whoa ho
The gods must abide
Jupiter's eye
Hastens the speed of the ride
Whoa ho
The Gods must abide
And they will
Or perhaps not
He was thinking to himself
Is this the road to heaven
Or a journey through hell
Honor bound by an oath
He has sworn to keep
He crosses the Black Mountain lake
Over a bridge of white mist
Flesh off the bone
Blood from a stone of Orion
Whoa ho
The gods must abide
Jupiter's eye
Hastens the speed of the ride
Whoa ho
The Gods must abide

Fire, smoke, and bone
Ash, flesh, and blood
Fire will start the violence bringing
Smoke to hide what's in store
Ash will fall from the night sky
Bone will break this I know
Flesh I'll rend from the carcass
Blood to drink when it's done
I'll summon the dark gods from the stars
There's no way they will deny
They'll burrow deep within my mind
For I'll have no peace until he dies
It was a wizard knife bar fight that Thulsa Dan lost
The fates didn't agree with Dan that night
To think Tulsa Dan could be defeated by a so-called wizard

Any Which Way But Tuned

Come sit and give a listen to a tale that I'll now tell
It's about a man who's in this pub so you'd better listen well
He doesn't look for trouble but trouble's always found
And spots like these are a welcome haven to throw a few pints down
You might be wondering why I'm telling you this too
I'm sorry I have to warn you
Some say he's any which way but tuned
I'm sorry I have to warn you
Some say he's any which way but tuned
He once was in a tavern just like this one here
All a fella did was look at him wrong and now his wife drowns in her tears
Another man said something to him that he didn't take real well
The next few words didn't come out right
Now the church rings a funeral bell
I hope that you are listening close to this tale I tell to you
Because trouble has a way of finding one whose any which way but tuned.
Trouble has a way of finding one whose any which way but tuned.
There once was someone sitting there just as you are now
They didn't listen to me when I told them they'd better leave right now
No, I never jest about the brawler as he's known
For doing so, will get one buried right here six feet below
Fuck you and you
And you and you
I thought I'd told you several times
He's Any Which Way but Tuned
I thought I'd told you several times
I'm Any Which Way but Tuned

Damned. Damned by the dark gods for all eternity
A once renowned scientist whose name was later erased from all history
A brilliant researcher hell-bent on unlocking mankind's full potential
A man whose experiments ultimately led to his own demise
For he took them too far by experimenting on human beings
And once caught, he fled to find another way to continue
Deep within the peaks of the Black Mountain
But his work was not done
Necromancy, sorcery, alchemy combined with modern science
The tools that the doctor used to further his own pursuits
Pursuits that eventually led to him altering his body into a beastly form
A monster whose gaze soon turned to the village below
Whose inhabitants began to call him Doctor Beast
For he had continued his research and begun kidnapping them for his endeavors
But after time, they had had enough and stormed his laboratory, burning it to the ground.
Where he seemingly perished
Or did he?
But some of them think. That he's still here.
But some of them think. That he's still here.

Now he's out here on his own
Consumed by the only one
Power burns inside his soul
The Wizard's gift for him, the goal
But he still says
God damn this Wizard Tattoo
He don't come round here no more
They never see him anymore
They don't hear what he just said
Soon they won't hear from him again
And he'll still say
God damn this Wizard Tattoo

If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back... Cleanandsoberstoner.com

Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great.

Traditional Black Magicks II
by Skull Servant
supported by 86 fans who also own “Fables of the Damned”
I don't think there's any band that sounds quite like Skull Servant does. The songs hit hard and heavy while maintaining a strong melody, and the two singers provide a contrast that makes every song feel unique. The crunchy guitar and bass tone puts a lot of power behind the riffs, and the songwriting and arrangement makes this feel like a concept album. If there's one thing Skull Servant does best, it's creating music that is dynamic and ever changing.

Reaching For The Light
by Demonio
supported by 82 fans who also own “Fables of the Damned”
I've been a fan of Demonio since their first album, and this one is even better! The music has a lot more blues and psychedelic influence this time around, and it pays off big time. The guitar has a lot of distortion and reverb which makes the riffs feel like you are traveling through time and space. And the bass holds down a solid groove in the background to keep the music moving forward. This is some great fuzzy music and if you are into underground heavy psych, definitely pick this one up.
