lyrics

The night has come, but not too soon
Faint is the light
Shooting stars, like fireflies
Highways in the night

Always off balance on solid ground
So, I took a leap, neither safe nor sound
But what the hell was I to do?

Hopeful dreams lull my fright
Inhale a different dawn
I see all so clearly now
Behold the mighty pawns

Whose faces are marred by dust and sweat
Whose lives are lived with few regrets
What the hell are they to do?

So, you thought that you knew me?
So, you thought you could cut me down to size?
So, you thought you could fool me?
To be a pawn in your game of lies

So, you thought you could school me?
So, you thought you could catch me by surprise?
So, you thought you could groom me?
To be a prop in your house of lies

(Wolfnaut part III)

about

Wolfnaut Norway

Forged in the sounds of early hard rock and metal, and the desert rock scene that exploded in the mid-1990s, WOLFNAUT (formerly known as Wolfgang) has made it a quest to investigate the musical landscapes between hooky twin-guitar based songs, and sludgy and doomy stoner rock. Hailing from the deep forests of Elverum, Norway, Wolfnaut has played to headbanging audiences from Trondheim to Duisburg. ... more

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

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

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
