Steve Rodger Having bought the bands previous release in 2018 I had no idea it would be five years until this arrived but welcome back Dryad. So is this any good… He’ll yea and it’s metal as fuck !!

Andy K. This is one tight heavy power trio. I’d say more Stoner Metal than Stoner Rock, but that’s irrelevant because they kick ass either way. Not only is this a talented band but these tracks are captured really well. All of the instruments are clear and loud in the mix. Riffs and leads abound!!

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) I stated in my Bandcamp blurb for the bands previous release "Rehearsal Tape" that if they made a full length album it would be "out of this world", well its here now and it IS!

Pulsar 04:08
Approaching from the sky; emissive lighthouse of death. Raid through the shine. A pulsar’s heading ahead. An errant fool that blinds. The dark is conquered by light. No life left behind; erased – dash into night.
2.
Meghalaya 04:26
Devoured by the House of Clouds. A dire situation. Tried to find my last resort. in pure imagination. Life’s a ride There’s sometimes fog; never bright. Life’s a ride There’s sometimes fog; at times light… Dense clouds blurred my view. A veil of mist and nation. Dazzled by a sudden glare. Freed by illumination. Life’s a ride There’s sometimes fog; never bright. Life’s a ride There’s sometimes fog; at times light…

Oh dear love, I travelled thousand miles, met evil beasts, committed most ghastly crimes. I never thought of feeling fear. Step by step, oh baby, year by year. So, my life went on – round and round. The sense seemed gone until this certain night. The night I met you, the night you passed, the night I touched you first. Went through hell to find my love. Went through hell to find my piece. While skin on skin, embraced by love, a sudden lightning struck us harsh. Our bodies fused to an unknown shape, side by side: eternal fate. Went through hell to find my love. Went through hell to find my peace. to find my love to find my love to find my love to find my love

Gaia 05:31
Your blood is running. There’re scares of man-made pain. Raped by those servants of commerce ’n industry. Hey … (Get) out of my way! They kill your newborns and feed them to their same. The list is endless of their destroying games. Hey … (Get) out of my way! Virus came. Everlasting game…
5.
Darvaza 06:34
A haloed sight, beyond a haze of burning dust; is rising to your head, your nostrils full of lust. I am your silent grave. You know the devil’s in the air. Now take my captivatin’ hands down – there… Give up the ghost. Follow me down the pit. Give up the ghost and follow me down the pit. A haloed sight, beyond a haze of burning dust; is rising to your head, your nostrils full of gas. I am your silent grave. You know the devil’s in the air. Now take my blue-shaped hands down – there… Give up the ghost. Follow me down the pit. Give up the ghost and follow me down the pit. Don’t give up the ghost. Resist the burning slit! Don’t give up your ghost. You’re here for greater needs!

You call yourself a master, your prattle reigns my day. My duties? Steady faster! Please let me be your slave. Let me be your slave Let me be your slave I want to be ya… I smell the Devil’s breath Feel the Devil’s breath I need to be ya… My mind sets free a spinning that drags me in your hole. Obeyin’ every minute. Blind by those blurry visions to lick your stinky toe. Obeyin’ every minute. I’m losin’ control. Losin’ control, under your spell. I’m losin’ con–trol. Let me be your slave I ought to be your slave I need to be ya… I feel the Devil’s breath Don’t wanna be your slave I wanna be my–self. I’m trying in vain exercising free will POWER PoWeR power

Hold on blessed one. You feel the leash; a solid hoax. All hope is gone. Devotion is all that lasts. Ropes and keys are admired masks. Their devastating love an all time holy bond… of knaves and fools. Of knaves and fools. Of knaves and fools. Oppressin’ wounds. Breathe! Breathe! Release your soul!
8.
Overload 02:47
You wanna know, you want it now. Don‘t hesitate, just keep the flow. Another step on the road of bolts. Let‘s give this life a little overload. You know, I follow. Plain truth forevermore. 'cause I can’t get through on my own. We share the way to mental doom. Inevitable; everywhere the system fits; it always bears the wit you think you have to have. the more you find, the less you grasp. ’cause you assume to know plain truth is always told. But I can get through on my own and halt confusion all alone. As far as you, I can’t go: blinded by distracting frauds, too dull to overcome those loads – to achieve the wisdom of gods.

Far away from home, where those villains belong, a spot of wrath and pain, besides a dark winding lane, hidden by a cave, apparent mere by day and I once passed by, at the wrong time in the wrong place. Awaking after passing out, the warming candle just burned out. Surrounded by those eerie shapes, my last thoughts torn apart in tapes. Facing you at the advent of dawn, filled by a stabbing I cannot recall. The sublime appeared; my will to live is gone; thrived by my fear; in the cold-hearted fall. Their dreadful deeds came through my mind, bereft of power, I walked the line. But I arose and bundled all my strength, and fought and won for the glorious men. Facing you at the advent of dawn, filled by a stabbing I cannot recall. The sublime appeared; my will to live is gone; thrived by my fear; in the cold-hearted fall. Far away from home, the sheer horror is gone. But back home again, I’m still trapped in that frame.
