Quest for Oblivion

by Sun Crow

supported by

caffeinatedmetalhead Saw these guys live at the Rain City Doom Fest this year. Skullcrushing riffs coupled with their "paleolithic" musicianship leads for a tasty, heavy, doomy experience. Favorite track: Collapse.

Steve My "favorite track" has changed 4 times... because every song is THAT good. This is THE most underrated album in my library but Sun Crow will have their day in the Sun. Just listen to the badass intro to "Hypersonic" or the killer heavy groove throughout "End Over End" or the epic "Titans" or... These guys are THAT good. Listen. Buy it. Listen. Buy it. Oh, and your welcome🤘🤘🤘 Favorite track: Nothing Behind.

brothercoyote This album is top notch. Favorite track: End Over End.

1.	Collapse 07:02	lyrics	buy track
Arrive far from home we’ve come into the vast unknown Western lands we come upon rolling on top the dark expanse A cold ghost opens wide long shadow I fall inside My eyes are now on you again on the stone the signs come upon the face that’s shown to the future unknown dark shape in the pale sun listening to the sound my eyes now on you again one stone the signs cold glow known
2.	Black It Out 10:44	lyrics	buy track
End this trip black it out one more time I glow into life colors fill our eyes white crystal skies alter a frozen smile one dream out of time god mind arise mirror reflecting our past out of fire return our memories I see home again as we flow in time My eyes roam twilight you know I’m chasing wasted she reminds me of the skin I’m changing burn and howl like a saint back to the grave released from the slip in your mouth the serpent awaits return our memories I see home again as we flow in time one more time black it out one more time end this trip
3.	End Over End 10:31	lyrics	buy track
Roll and turn the black weightless in the beyond velvet edge folds the cold light stone rolling on and on what else can you hold on to riding on the way down falling blind no ground upside this is it reach out turn and bend without form find the shadow warped lines and shifting light can’t resist this moving faster falling deaf blind ground downside this is it pieces of me everywhere end over end what else can I hold on to riding all the way down falling blind into sound inside this is it
4.	Fell Across the Sky 11:10	lyrics	buy track
Trail of smoke bright as a second sun We were thrown away from the center No sound, no footsteps dead silence ever after Do you believe now you writhe you crawl and run away the sky was split in two, high and wide all around us The old ones said to stay away we were thrown by an angry hand What happened here? What have we done? What happened here? What have we become? Do you believe me now you writhe you crawl and run away the sky was split in two, high and wide all around us They say you can’t go there now they end in the hole in the ground they say stay away
5.	Fear 05:57	lyrics	buy track
Blood on these streets on your mind on your knees Watching, following me now they see everything My lie is your gun so high now give me some Dog oaths you heal me now you know everything The wolves are at the door
6.	Nothing Behind 04:57	lyrics	buy track
Chasing footsteps Direction and it’s unknown regrets Now I’m at the spine All is in now just one more bow Make em all proud Now I’m tasting time Birth of a new currency Pieces are free I’m taking mine Forgive, forget Got your god head Right under the bridge Now I’m feeling fine A fragile choice in the black noise In the white lies Now I’m all yours The gift of fate new sounds of shape A soft decay Now I’m your cold war Lost and loud underground dark so far from you Now I’m finally found A chance to run a dance with the gun united and unsung I’m leaving nothing behind
7.	Hypersonic 09:05	lyrics	buy track
down from the skies time is now cursed on to destruction blood on the gates you taste it now we fall into stars man is at the end of his line fade into light this life we live endless in fire burning godless light the rest we now rise from the ruins man at the end of his line return to the time from before release the tomb until we are born ride so alive victims of time survive the arrival shine time and again sent to the end today we will not die man at the end of his line man is at the end of the lie
8.	Titans 11:00	lyrics	buy track
Born from chaos, an idol bound by nothing Shoving mother into sleep, I’ve become father to them all The black winged bird soars above the given Drawn together, black attraction in the fire Sky fucked earth Your time will come swallow you hole darkness ate the young infant callow Into Ground, As the Oceans Flow, High One, All the Stars, Wide Shining, Bright One, The Way, The Memory, The Piercer Axis question Time most cunning Ask the question Time most cunning of all It’s too late Time hates Sky his father With a blade from mother Time castrated Sky Bleeding wound, patricide Sky and Earth forever part Sky left Earth, stone devoured I hide in you, hidden away I hide in you, growing alone in this cave

about

We were clearly trying to operate machinery we didn't understand. Everything around us was vibrating. We'd begun to rise from a deep sleep... unsure where we were... sea was sky, and ground was above the vast black wave. Whatever sedated us for the journey was still affecting us as we awakened. The vessel was out of control. The landing was a catastrophe of wires, lights, smoke, and fire. It seemed to go on forever.

That was a long time ago. When we began our journey, we were programmed to forget. As we've learned to bypass the codes and recall... we're not sure what we have lost. The images and sounds are haunted. We can't know what took the place of the memories we're not sure we ever had. Ancient markings and debris suggest some place or time we still search for.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
