Sea Side An album that brings you pumps you up, brings you down, and moves you forward. The art on the album might have brought me in, but the crashing of the drums, the rifts of the guitars and bass, along with the emotional tone of the vocals, has kept it playing on my headphones. Favorite track: THE CAVE.

It will not save you or redeem you of your darkest sins No longer is there patience for you and your feeble whims It’s that tiny place inside you where you rarely ever dare to dwell I’d really like to show you But I promised I would never tell That… It will destroy you in the end There’s no use trying to pretend That you really want to do what’s right And be the brother in whom I’d once confide My heart it breaks to see you this way We’ll heal in time And now comes the chance for stars to shine obscure the darkness with their light Leaves will fall the bear will sleep And awaken in the spring It won’t make you attractive or increase your chance of getting laid it can’t be used as money and it doesn’t mean you’re getting paid there’s nothing I can tell you it’s gonna have to be your voice no one can do it for you it’s gonna have to be your choice or… It will destroy you in the end There’s no use trying to pretend That you really want to do what’s right And be the brother in whom I’d once confide My heart it breaks to see you this way We’ll heal in time And now comes the chance for stars to shine Obscure the darkness with their light Leaves will fall daughters will dream And awaken in the spring I know you want to do what’s right but With you it always ends up in a fight My heart it breaks to see you this way Move on cause it’s time And now comes the chance for stars to shine Obscure the darkness with their light Leaves will fall daughters will dream We’ll awaken and we’ll sing… (And now) Comes the chance for stars to shine Obscure the darkness with their light Flowers will bloom we’ll climb the trees We’ll run real fast and skin our knees

Can you juggle reality so your greatness remains Can you cut through the mire of these pointless mind games Stepping ever so slightly, restless substitute for flight Don't trip on your ego if its all you've got left Or let this damning confusion lose touch with yourself Avoid reality to get through the night When we got to Prescott it was about 8 o'clock Pulled into the parking lot and turned the headlights off Stumbled through the door and nearly fell down It became apparent as the night wore slowly on Walked onto the stage and from the first note something’s wrong Naked there’s nowhere that you can hideout Flies and bats and moths would never fly his way again Hit rabbits on the head and dig a hole to hide the dead The sea will overcome and we will all drown Forgiveness is key, friendships are lost to disease, I forgive transgressions against me we’re cast off like leaves, linger in the breeze, don’t dwell on mistakes it will only fill your mind with grief Unfulfilled fantasy, this self propelled philosophy, an uncompelling prophecy been cast off like leaves, fell apart at the seams, stitches in wounds only time will tell if it heals

Will we choose to change or walk headfirst into disaster Attempt to make the leap or self-fulfill the prophecy She came not to live or find her happily ever after She only came to sleep, she only came to dream 13 13 Heal me heal me please Doomsayer don’t say we’re worthy of the end He saw a hole inside it made him want and it made him sad He’d take all that she gives and cry black tears against her feet 13 13 Hear me hear me scream Doomsayer don’t say we’re worthy of the end Don’t say Don’t save

THE CAVE 05:57
Tribal contest bleeding in your victory Faithless conquest blinded by your vision I’ve locked you in the tombs of vivid memories I’m the thunder on the plains I’ll strike you down I’m the shadows from the flames that echo from the wall And now I will make you understand Now all has come undone We thought we had it made And everything we though was wrong We were just chained to the cave Now all has come undone We thought we had it made And everything we though was wrong We were just chained to the cave Break loose from the bonds Souls should be set free It’s time to turn and face reality All these useless conversations Lead us to no compromise Drowning here in these illusions Throw myself into the fire Cause I love all the little things you do All you do is trick me but still… I love all the little things you do All you do is trick me but… All these useless conversations Lead us to no compromise Drown me here in your illusions Throw myself into the fire But I love all the little things you do All you do is trick me but still… I love all the little things you do All you do is trick me but…

about

“This is rock’n'roll, with a hint of metal. I love the aggression of the guitar assault and the pounding drums. I don’t like most metal or much progressive rock, but this somehow meets in a middle territory with enough melodicism and musicianship, that I can sit back and simply say, ‘Yeah, this is pretty great.’” (Mitchell Hillman – Java Magazine)

“Elusion”, the new independently released ep from the band EL is a melodic, guitar-driven fusion of hard rock, metal, alternative, and progressive rock. Elusion blends pounding rhythm with soaring melodies and harmonies. While the band pulls some influence from metal, singer Jason Prichard prefers singing over the guttural growls and grunts found in many metal acts. The band’s varied musical influences can be heard in the reggae inspired sections of the song 80%, the post-metal reminiscence of ISIS on The Cave, and latin inspired rhythm in the latter half of Doomsayer, all without sounding disjointed or guilty of genre hopping. The band is explorative without feeling alienating.
