fraser I just saw Chant in concert last night and was blown away! THESE GUYS FUCKING ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! I really hope they come back and play another show in Seattle sometime soon.

This is, in my opinion, their best album so far. Favorite track: All the Same.

1.	Brave New Apocalypse 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I know I could not see All the things so wrong with me Every ending needs a start So say goodbye to who we are Never see my face again You’ll never have to comprehend The vow that slipped away and rang forever from your lips A supernova tragic end and a brave new apocalypse New days are dangerous New love, uncertain trust Reinvention of your life Erase me to stay alive Never mind our history Or who we used to be Embrace the end and risk again catastrophic emptiness It’s the price we have to pay for a Brave New Apocalypse Brave New Apocalypse Everything’s just like they said Our world’s come to an end And the moon drips red with blood Just like they said it would It’s our last trip around the sun They need it like a drug But prophecies they come and go So question everything you know And then forget me as I fade Into our loss our final days Two sides of love collide – inescapable eclipse I hope and pray we all survive our Brave New Apocalypse Brave New Apocalypse Brave New Apocalypse Brave New Apocalypse
2.	Cycles 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Cycles are always turning Nations are always churning Churches are always burning through their congregation’s eyes The planet is always spinning The enemy is always winning The truth is always blending with another person’s lies Is right and wrong confusing? Is the space between too wide? Well then color the grey with blood until the enemy’s on our side End of your generation End of your sovereign nation End of your congregation and the wars you brought to life It’s the start of something new The start of me and you The start of all that’s true in another story line Is right and wrong confusing? Is the space between too wide? Well then color the grey with blood until the enemy’s on our side
3.	Manifesto 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Crass - Hard lined - Refined… Got to tell my version of his-story Take you down - I’m not going alone I have to save your soul – along with everything I know I’m not the first and I won’t be the last But you can only take so much In this world that promises you everything I’ll still go unnoticed unless I make a scene It’s just got to be loud so the whole world knows They only pay attention to something extreme Be unique – so your story gets told And you’ll become a headline just like me! I’ve got my salvation and my secret weapon I’ve got my end of the world I’ll make a prophecy and take you all with me I’ve got my end of the world And I’ll do it too Make you all see Make you all feel What’s inside of me And when I’m gone – you will believe In the media’s version of my identity Turn the dial and I’ll be there In your memory and in your prayers All this attention for a guy like me Instantaneous celebrity I’ve got my salvation and my secret weapon I’ve got my end of the world I’ll make a prophecy and take you all with me I’ve got my end of the world
4.	Repeat Repeat 04:48	lyrics	buy track
I just met you Can't stop thinking Of all we could be - its so new Experience Relive the danger There's still more we could do This is how it could be - this is how it should be Repeat Repeat This is how it could be - this is how it should be Repeat Repeat I can feel you Can't stop wanting To survive what we lived through Another version Of perfection A vivisection of the truth This is how it could be - this is how it should be Repeat Repeat This is how it could be - this is how it should be Repeat Repeat I write it on the wall Carve it in my skin Got to remember all of this Or repeat the same again I write it on the wall Carve it in my skin Got to remember all of this somehow Or repeat the same again The same again… The same again...
5.	Universal 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Mission to perceive that universal need – to be right – to be loved – Each generation feeds on the ones who came before them - on the fears that divide them: “If you don’t believe in my God than you don’t believe in me” Stripped down to the core of what we know – the fear of death and the unknown Taken in by the promise that you’ll survive Apocalypse to the rescue – counter cult predictions on the menu – you say the end is near and when it’s here – I'll be left behind But, maybe they are leaving without you, Maybe they are leaving without you, Maybe they are leaving without you, maybe, just maybe… Your God is here forever But he keeps saying the same damn thing It’s just you and I together At the end of everything Your ego comes down from the sky to do your will – to make you right and go in for the kill Now's the time, before I die, to prove me wrong Faith crushed by the modern hand – self centered wars with religious brands And you can’t stop now ‘cause they might find out that you were lying all along… So maybe they are leaving without you, Maybe they are leaving without you, Maybe they are leaving without you, maybe, just maybe… Your God is here forever But he keeps saying the same damn thing You and I together At the end of everything I’m not preaching – I’m just observing – just a witness to who you’re serving Your God is here forever But he keeps saying the same damn thing You and I together At the end of everything Each generation’s counting On the message that you bring That we all die together At the end of everything
6.	Adoration 05:37	lyrics	buy track
Cold colored words of isolation As you spread your wings of adoration So full of love it hurts So full of hate it works Arm your soul to the teeth as you claw And wrap those wings around me In adoration It’s beautiful – you’ll see Hand print on the wall Reminding me of when we lost it all Forever changed - forever attached To all the words that you can’t take back Like a Siren, sickly sweet All your screams have stayed with me And they’re still ringing in my ears because Some words never leave For You - this adoration There’s nothing left of me to tear apart It’s all for you – this adoration Taking my last breath while I’m in your arms It’s beautiful – you’ll see Love Me
7.	Dead Muse 04:33	lyrics	buy track
My muse has gone and left me for dead I’d be better off with a hole in my head But she went for the heart and now it’s much too late To keep my feet on the ground and my head on straight A loss for words and the blank page cuts right through There’s no meaning to my life if I can’t share this pain with you I try to get it all out – again and again But nothing comes – there’s no sign of the end There are no new words that could ever come and rescue me now It’s just you in my head My muse is gone - my muse is dead Where are you when I need your nails in me? Digging myself deeper so I can crawl beneath your feet I try to find the words – try to make sense Out of all we sold to buy our innocence It’s only Sin that seems to find her way back to me It’s just you in my head My muse is gone - my muse is dead My muse has gone and left me for dead I’d be better off with a hole in my head But she went for the heart and now it’s much too late To keep my feet on the ground and my head on straight
8.	Bring Me the Head of the Music Critic 07:54	lyrics	buy track
On the shelf For all to see For you to judge If I succeed Crucify Out of spite Or just ignore To prove you’re right I’m meant to be Objectified Or made into The wolf who cried But I know something You can’t see I only care What’s inside of me You’ll lose it all And become aware And realize That I don’t care What you say Or what you write Or what you hate Or what you like You’re left behind There’s only doubt With no way home And no way out On the shelf For all to see For all to judge For all to reap On the shelf There’s no one else Left alone To face myself For all I’ve done And criticized Was all in vain A waste of time For now I see What’s left of me Is nothing more Than empty dreams On the shelf There’s no one else Left alone To face myself
9.	All the Same 06:19	lyrics	buy track
Free Salvation all around me Then a savior swoops in to show me the way But before I choose I must confess that your preaching seems to be the only product you sell right now You don’t believe me? Well I’ve got something to say You can’t deceive me I never believed you anyway It’s all the same Someone else’s belief You can lose yourself Seeking Salvation Wake up to find that your one true meaning is a narrow road leading to a lifetime away As a third eye opens to reveal the lie – some flee to move on, others to ignore their pain You don’t believe me? Well I’ve got nothing to prove You can’t defeat me The most dangerous ones have nothing to lose It’s all the same Someone else’s belief Maybe someone else Needs their conscience cleaned It’s all the same Someone else’s belief You can lose your soul Preaching Salvation Can you raise your hands and shout Amen? It’s all the same Someone else’s belief Maybe someone else Needs their conscience cleaned It’s all the same Someone else’s belief If I could lose my soul Seeking Salvation
10.	Create to Destroy 02:37	lyrics	buy track
They say the end of days are upon us And so now here we are How can I embrace the ending? We’ve come so very far Yet we remain disconnected Our hearts split right in two I can’t remember how it felt to ever be loved by you Apocalyptic nation It’ll tear us all apart Wait for it Wait for it The ending is a new start Create to Destroy Destroy to create Build us up - tear us down – make us separate Create to Destroy And the world is burning down All around you But you still stand tall Reach inside Find your voice Find your love Fuck it all
11.	Song I Never Wanted 05:52	lyrics	buy track
I had to lose it all so I could see the light Now I sing a song I’d never want to write We lived a lifetime of love – or so the story goes What you think of me now I’ll never really know Leave it all behind Trust the vain can lead the blind Trust the blind can learn to see More than you – better than me Empty houses tell a story if you look in every room Up the stairs and down the hallway – the quiet steals the view Behind the last door for a moment I could see into And there sat all I ever wanted - but it means nothing without you We leave it all behind Trust the vain can lead the blind Trust the blind can learn to see More than you and better than me More than you and better than me Love was never going to be enough if I wasn’t what you need And you deserve much more - more than I could ever be Don’t let the last thing left after everything you do Be a book full of dreams that we couldn’t make come true So leave me far behind Trust the deaf can lead the blind Trust the blind can learn to see More than you and better than me So leave me far behind Trust the deaf can lead the blind Trust the blind can learn to see More than you and better than me More than you and better than me More than you and better than me

Instant Exorcism

Curse Mackey channels dark, sexy moods and subversive chaos into everything he does [Evil Mothers, Grim Fairies, Pigface] so it makes sense that his solo effort would exceed all expectations! CHANT

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
