2.	Keeper of the Cactus Crypt 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Bleak dead city immerses away under a blinding cloud of dust Expectations spinning around as the wind whips our crust Scrap made symbols mark the path to the shamanic wasteland gods Perception of time fades a way as we reach the hidden door Behind a layer of rust a fire guides the entrance The scent fills up our noses and serves for our guidance Under a dark green cloak we find our mescal host Ghoslty steam rises as we are invited to come Chorus: Keeper of the Cactus Crypt cooks secrets from the nature into the madness of a drink Keeper of the Cactus Crypt the conductor of synapses riding the train between heaven and hell Deliver us from fear Leave no masters here Bring freedom with lust When the end is near and disruption is clear In Cactus we trust (Chorus)
3.	Make my Molotov 04:57	lyrics	buy track
Starless sky, the wolf cries for the last moonlights A quick bright across the night, another one dies Here I stand, in a wild land who knows my last moment? Inside these walls, the time is now to bring world downfall The executioner must lose his dominance We got no choice than join this toxic dance I have no control after the fire is lit Leave me alone if you wanna resist Chorus: Give me a break as I make this system go Don't bother me while I get ready for the show Can't you see that mayhem is my goal Don't bother me Let me make my Molotov There's no way, we must escape from this endless fallout We're in an atomic landscape I want chaos now Don't push me, I can't stay rebellion calls my name I am spitting out gasoline to bring up the flame I am executioner disrupting domination I now rejoice in toxic damnation Don't want control I wanna see the fire Leave me alone this is my desire Chorus (2x)
4.	Christophagy 03:51	lyrics	buy track
A troop of holy men travelled to a land far away to preach for the natives the power of Jesus' name A bunch of pagan sinners, their faith deserved dismay They should praise the one God, or choose to be slain Death, or God Pray, or pay Blinded by their bibles, the priests didn't see their fate A tribe of cannibal warriors, they found to own the land Even if Christ could save them, it was already too late Proselytistic oppression turned into impalement Death, no God Pray, and pay Missionaries on the stick ripping up their bowels Cooked over fire fed by their own sacred books Baking human flesh, made an unholy smell All the evangelists learnt the gospels of hell Craniotomized heads where placed on a stand Raw brains made a meal, eaten with bare hands No christian invaders would ever return The only crosses left were made from their bones Hell, no God pray, and pay
5.	Hunters on the Highway 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Toxic meth demons storming the night setting up traps, waiting for a fight Foodless for days, no fear to die, when you least expect, they'll blow up some tires Savage wanderers exiled from the cities, denied for rejecting the crucifix Craving for pieces of human flesh, to relief radiation sickness Rabid scavengers haunting the motorways guided by need to slay Poisoned blood, necrotic skin, seeking revenge by any means Hunters on the highway! Living for today, 'cause there's no tomorrow Every step guided by hatred Helpless travellers, they gasp in horror A pure showcase of all mankind's sorrow Hidden in the darkness, always ready to attack, lurking in the road 666 Deformed creatures, no mercy when they strike, tearing to pieces without a knife A force of hell that no one can beat the product of a life in distress Members of a society that once despised them now become a bloody mess Hunters on the highway! Toxic meth demons storming the night setting up traps, waiting for a fight Foodless for days, no fear to die, when you least expect, they'll blow up some tires Savage wanderers exiled from the cities, denied for rejecting the crucifix Craving for pieces of human flesh, to relief radiation sickness Rabid scavengers haunting the motorways guided by need to slay Once in their hands, there's no escape from the Hunters on the Highway!
6.	Mushroom Priests 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Years and years of hope waiting for the chosen one Finally the light has come from the shine of an atom bomb Bridge: Self-devoured society faces collapse of cities As famine continuously spread where melting homeless people live So priests took their blessed axes in order to get some meat Chorus: From the cloud came the Mushroom Priests praying for U-235 Harbingers of holy butchering fighting hunger with their sacred cleaning The red mass is about to begin, they bring the offerings A feast for the rich, the Atom God laughs Praise the Mushroom Priests Inside the mansions raised on the ruins the meals again leave nobody hungry Out on the streets, the corners are neat poor ones starving, can no more be seen (Bridge) (Chorus) Butchery, Crosses Radiation, Slaughter The heart of a heartless city is safe now for the spoiled kids With the bomb came the Mushroom Priests worshipping the Fat Man Atomic butchering, god-active preachers Feeding the rich cleavers as crosses blood as holy water Cassocks and gas masks Praise the Mushroom Priests

about

This EP was recorded between autumn and spring 2022. It contains five tracks of a killer mix of Heavy, Speed Metal and Punk sounding inside a harsh post-apocalyptic world. Highly recommended for those who are into bands like Venom, Motörhead, Tank, Warfare, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Sodom and Bathory with some touches of NWOBHM.
