jer8877 Simply some of the best rokkenroll in this particular collapse of the wave function. Great for head-on-the-steering-wheel moments in the parking lot of your day job at Wasteland, Inc. Thank you for what you created. I regret taking the last train to Mars after WC and losing touch with you all.

Stockpiling smiles Shakings of hands A brush-up of networks A trading of lands Ain't it simple When the world is ending? Holding my nose I get out of bed Put on some clothes and Gently rub my head It ain't simple When the world is ending My wife is gone My friend is dead My name is Jim My blood is red And the world is ending The world is ending Don't let me go But I must go There is a glow on the horizon Not heaven, but another place Others have passed before You will pass through and then-- There is no City of Perfection Only earth under your fingertips And the Earth shall endure Another apocalypse The world's unending...

about

There is a subterranean region between the Sacred and the Profane -- a murky swampland of unknown size and scope, crawling with crooked barkers, piggish gluttons, depressive religious fanatics, murderous cowboy crusaders, elderly fifth-stage alcoholics and defrocked addict-priests...to name a few.  This baleful Bayou from Beyond is the setting for Detholz! newest and most bloody album to date, Death to the Traitor.  A sister album to 2006's Cast Out Devils, which chronicles a loss of faith while traversing the Lands of Party, Death to the Traitor traces one Party-Pilgrim's Regress back to faith, a return journey fraught with unknown pitfalls and frightening adversaries along the way.

The current music of Detholz! supports the Grand Guignol imagery of Death to the Traitor, incorporating violent polyrhythms and a sparser, more direct approach to composition than on previous albums.

Central to the record are themes central to historical Christianity: blood rituals, betrayals of various stripes, man vs. animal and vice versa.

Regardless of the nature of your personal journey, we hope you enjoy the ride.

Thanks for listening!
