MORIERIS 06:19
Dragging my fingers through your narcissus pool Corneas sparkling like an architect’s tools Shrivel dead on the vine, your web of glittering lies I know nothing’s here; lord knows, nothing’s here Easy and cheap reality; foolish, I let you seduce me Roll the boulder up the hill, ride back down to catch a thrill It’s tiresome to deconstruct how this all fell apart, I’m working on a theory that we lose before we start The smoke from this old windbag trickles out like my own soul Unfurls tendrils of cumulus that swallow all my goals
2.
SEPTIX 05:36
I’m giving it up, walking away; taken for granted, tired of praying Tightening vise closing in, feeling the pressure rising within Or has it all gone septic? I can’t explain the drive and the urges; I can’t control the tidal wave surges I can’t resist the pleasure I seek; I can’t desist my wicked speech I can’t go on reveling in sin; I can’t climb out this hole that I’m in Has it all gone septic? Sinking me under, weighing me down, sinking me under, ready to drown
3.
HARNESS 05:47
This gleaming palace, tarnished by the air, we writhe in impatience, harnessed in the lair Step into the gloaming, relinquish the reins, a river of oaths, a fountain of pain Shield your eyes, hot breath, fine lines; shield your eyes, harness, white lies Our quest for approval, just more of the same, we envy the fathers, we circle the drain The color of anguish, flushed, flaming embrace, let loose from this life, shackled in the race Shield your eyes, hot breath, fine lines; shield your eyes, harness, cut ties
4.
OFFERING 05:35
Sweat rivers in the summer sun, she’s gonna be the only one She’s pure, virgin queen, starves to stay clean The offering, fill my cup; the offering, fill it up Writhe in utter bliss, taken over in the velvet mist Red pools drip crimson heat, flood fast to a filthy creek Sharp silver on porcelain, part tenderly within Give in to the luscious deep, drift off to a dreamless sleep Bacchanalia through and through; it’s gonna be the death of you Open mouth, bloodbath drain; will you scream for pleasure or pain?
5.
PANDORA 02:12
Step off of the ledge, sprint down the hall, thorns in the hedge to break their fall Butter ‘em up, then slice ‘em down; bust a kneecap, melt those crowns Then fold up their edges, yeah, file down their teeth to cram in your box until they fit Until they fit right in Lock them a cell, fine jewels for chains; choke down the key and choke out the brain If they scream to be heard, it’s time for the gun; don’t misunderstand, it’s over, they’re done So fold up the edges, and file down their teeth to cram in your box until they fit Until they fit right in
6.
Drawn to you, feel your pull; in your veins, feel my pain Find your way to my core; rend my flesh, bow your horns Sign of the bull, bend to my will Lost to time, eaten alive; scale these walls, break my fall Heady spiral take my soul, cause I’ve given up control Feel hot breath upon my back as the earth renders and cracks Guess I found what I came here for, such a hollow victory Reeking of misplaced intentions and long buried memories
7.
MAELSTROM 06:25
Straddling the wire, ready to expire Snake down the thin black line you drew in the sands of time Maelstrom Feel the afterglow, been letting the anger grow I’m eating it up and choking it down; you’re all over this fuckin town Whisper in your ear, I know your deepest fear Reading the writing now, you’re gonna scrape and bow I don’t want your truth, watch as you lick the boot It’s all gonna fade away, it’s time to kneel and pray Maelstrom
8.
GOLDEN PAW 05:14
Watch the veil between us reflect what we believe Heard your footsteps falling like rain upon the eaves Tender claw, golden paw Thought it was a stranger listening to me, whispering a prayer to feel your heartbeat Waiting in the ether, I’m no friend of time; you can push in deeper if you can trust the signs

about

Dripping with fuzzed out guitars, soaring vocals, and swaggering groove, North Carolina duo Crystal Spiders’ debut album Molt (2020) quickly won the hearts of stoner metal fans and critics alike. For their follow up, MORIERIS, bassist Brenna Leath (Lightning Born, The Hell No) and drummer Tradd Yancey (Doomsday Profit) take a lead guitar assist from Mike Dean — Corrosion of Conformity bassist and Leath’s bandmate in fellow Ripple Music labelmates Lightning Born — for a rollercoaster ride of doomy atmospherics, razor sharp riffs, and infectious rhythms.
