Black fades into pale grey
shouldered weight bends straight spines back
castle walls yield faint remains
every good thing leaves our plane
Hold your grace above our heads
while you wear ignorance as your crown
you hide your shape behind death's shroud
but no one could mistake your sound.
Roar
battle cries piercing the night
blood covers sites of vengeance
feel control slip through your hands
as your held accountable for all
the crimes you were acquitted of
wherein the victim's voice belonged to you
cast spells into your victim's weakness
to play into their desire to please you.
One day
they'll loosen
the rope you tied around their wrists
take
you by surprise as you lay
fast asleep
unbothered by the repercussions
associated with grooming your own prey
your eyes buldge wide as your windpipe
gives way beneath the dissident's weight.
Free yourselves,
break the cycle that holds you in the role of the opressed:
Don't welcome demons into your life .
Sing grace unto yourselves
embrace our imperfections
learn to accept a life outside of lines
drawn by our sick dark world

The Middle Eastern feel is much stronger on this album than on earlier releases and that is a great thing. Considering Hashisism began in the Middle East with Hassan I Sabbah, it's a good thing to hear a band embrace that sound in stoner/doom/psych setting. Pyraweed is quickly becoming one of my go to bands. Would love to have some vinyl from them. Mike Williams

Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom.
In the end, *NO* is as strong and declarative as it’s title. Brian Parker

This band fucking slays. I CAN NOT WAIT to be back to rock shows so I can finally see these guys live. Even better I'd love to share a stage with this kick ass band. 2021 Year of the Cobra for sure.
