Deadboy and the Elephantmen have finally relased the new album if this is hell then i'm lucky, available through the bands website. It features all the songs on the first demo with their new arrangements and 2 new songs-"Like the Dead Would Laugh" and "High Monster" plus the first half of the group theme song. Album artwork was done by the internationally known Jason Cooper of Blackheart Studios.
For the unlucky who don't know, Deadboy and the Elephant men are the new psychedellic heavy gloom band of former Acid Bath and Agents Of Oblivion cult demi-hero Dax Rigg's, a man responsible for some of the most searing and amazing vocal tracks of the 90's to today. Acid Bath's criminally unheralded (atleast by the larger public) Pagan Terrorism Tactics remains to the day one of the best albums of all time. Tragically, Acid Bath broke up following the unexpected death of their bassist, shipping the premier guitarist of the band (Sammy Duet) to Goatwhore and Dax to Agents Of Oblivion. Dax's Agents only lasted one album, an amazing T-Rex meets murky voodoo sexual haunt of a disc. Now, Dax's new group is poised to make a new mark, albeit more psychedellic and all encompassing.
This material should not be overlooked, despite the fact that the album is only available at the band's own personal website, deadboyand theelephantmen.com. Tracks are also available for preview on MP3.com
Lyrics for "Barefoot in the Dark"
rattlesnake shadow cast over the heart
forever I am there barefoot in the dark
they're beating that drum in the cemetery
my death lays awake there whistling dixie yeah
if this is hell well then I'm lucky yeah
my death's alive there just waiting for me uh-huh
my death's alive there just waiting for me
my death lays awake there whistling dixie
if this is hell then i'm lucky
rattlesnake shadow cast across the heart
forever we are there barefoot in the dark
they're beating that drum in the cemetery
my death lays awake there aaah whistling dixie yeah
if this is hell if this is hell then i'm lucky yeah
my death's alive there just waiting for me uh-huh
my death's alive there just waiting for me
my death lays awake there whistling dixie
if this is hell well then I'm lucky
barefoot in the dark
barefoot in the dark
barefoot in the dark
Lyrics for " heart of green "
I have seen that shadow in the meadow
and I have seen that same shadow on the bayou
moving slowly through your heart of green
along your velvet belly is the cool sky
you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed
bless this jungle floor where I sleep
and I dreamed that I lost your heart of green
the dragon sleeps with the owl and the centipede
and they dream of you and me
along your velvet belly lies the cool sky
you jump into the water but the fire's been tamed
ooh bless this jungle floor where I sleep
and I dreamed that we touched your heart of green
opening like wings over the horizon
I hear that strange melody that only you can speak to me
You got that heart of green
she said I know the spirit of your greener day
she said I know the spirit of your greener day
she said I've seen that shadow stretched across the meadow
and I've seen that same shadow on the bayou
moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart
of green moving slowly through your heart of green
moving slowly through your heart of green moving slowly through your heart
of green moving slowly through your heart of green
Lyrics for "Waking up Insane"
scaring the Ghosts away wake me when i'm sane
on Mardi Gras day the cold of death
it may tear you from my breast
yet I know you are the smoke that is my breath
under the sky to live is to die
raven black the night and I
opel on the highway side
as we pass her a million times this night
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
scaring the Ghosts away wake me when I'm sane
again you are the smoke that is my breath
this bouquet of regret
under the sky to live is to die
radiation black the night and I
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
under the sky to live is to die
radiation black the night and I
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could ever eclipse this
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
waking up insane on Mardi Gras day
don't seem like no sun exists that could eclipse this
just wake me when I'm sane
