When your towers fall and stones crash around you When your towers fall you better run When you hear my call and my oceans drown you When you hear my call you better run, run, yeah Don't eat - Don't sleep Hear me calling from the deep Pray to your gods they will only fail you Fall into my jaws and let my fangs impale you An unholy brood of my spawn await me A black sea of blood still cannot sate me Don't eat - Don't sleep Hear me calling from the deep Your kings and priests have well prepared you To die like beasts and to let me tear you They promised lies and you believed I promise death and you shall receive, yeah Don't eat - Don't sleep Hear me calling from the deep

about

C is For Cthulhu

We found him in a horrendous state. Plagued as he was by fetid, corrosive dreams that consumed his fevered mind, Clinton Heider writhed in his sleep as if vainly attempting to escape the cold embrace of death…or perhaps racing towards its arms in a futile escape from something much more terrifying. He awoke, grabbing each of us with such strength that his fingernails pierced skin through clothing. With eyes that burned – consumed by an incomprehensible madness – he shouted, “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!” These words meant little to us when uttered but, as time passed, we came to understand that his words were not borne of hysterical delusions but a result of his having seen beyond our realm and into the true, unimaginable horror that lies hidden underneath the waves.

Slowly, as the brise-filled shroud pulled away from his consciousness, Heider’s jaundiced hand took to his guitar to banish the demons that plagued his soul for those many weeks. “C is for Cthulhu” is not simply a metal song with a truly awesome drop-C metal riff, it is a baleful cry – an exorcism on vinyl – of the horrors to come when the Great Old One rises.



My Desire

The Pain Teens were one of Houston’s most enduring and accomplished underground bands. Led by the guitar wizardry of Scott Ayers and the vocal siren call of Bliss Blood, the band made a name for itself with its dark lyrics and dense and often noisy/experimental production. For the B-Side of this 7″, The Linus Pauling Quartet tackles one of The Pain Teen’s most brutal tracks – “My Desire” from their classic Born in Blood album. With a triple guitar attack layered behind vocalist Carl Sandin, the band unleashes a sonic assault and gives no quarter.
