Love ends, and that's just how it goes. But what if you can't fall in love again, what if the part of you that loved seems numb, cold and broken? What if all the fire has been spent?
This is the closest Spoil has gotten to a ballad so far, but at the same time one of the most intense and crushing musically. The music seemingly drags itself through the mud, while eerie guitars scream in the darkness, matching the intensity and loneliness reflected in the lyrics.
lyrics
The ashes clogging up my lungs
the charred remains of all we've done
crunched beneath my feet out here
wandering through burned out fields
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
these blackened timbers will not burn
the sky is gray the snow is white
seeking warmth through evening light
as winters chill seeps to the bone
you're naked scarred and all alone
alone
alone
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
these blackened timbers will not burn
These blackened timbers will not burn
As the world it turns
and nothing's learned
again we try, the sparks they fly
fly up high
fly and die
The aimless wanderer stumbles on
through towns of ghosts and forgotten songs
The fire we built has choked and died
And now I see the flames were lies
lies, all lies
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
smoke and embers
these blackened timbers will not burn

2011? How have I missed this for so long? I love everything about this. Either more bands should play doomed out thrash, or these guys need to make way more music. The Goon
The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.” Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 12, 2016

How did I miss this?! This is the best stoner rock I've heard all year! It's not often that I'll buy an album after just listening to the first two minutes of the opening track. I can't pick a favourite track they're all so damn good! The riff is strong with this one, ladies and gentlemen. Stoner Vibrations
