Kirk Gauthier If progressive doom metal has land, then Drainbow is its king. In this EP, he masterfully blends just about every genre of heavy metal imaginable into an absolutely delectable listening experience. Favorite track: Hag.
Volt Thrower

Volt Thrower An intoxicating blend of genres I could only try to describe as some sort of folk-pop death doom record, with black metal influences. It's chaotic but beautiful in the way it toes the line. A psych-synth-ska instrumental breaks up, but also adds to the madness. Poetic lyrics delivered in either unnerving melodic cleans or harsh barks and growls, again transitioning in between beautifully. Tough to choose a favorite song between Other Mother and Hag. Really good EP. Favorite track: Hag.

You can’t outstare the stars but shine- the light is ours! thoroughly objectified it seems that no one can decide If your pulsing raw heart is the most savory part? Is Solitude sometimes enough to cure your rectitude, call your bluff solitude sometimes fullness growing wise You can’t outstare the stars But Shine the light is ours Wearing your own skin Seeing out your own eyes… Stargaze under your own skies Heart in the moonrise Breath in mind’s eye Nothing else to know So know thyself and grow solitude sometimes fullness growing wise let the earth and moon rise bathe under your own skies Heated red with tradition and expectations They hammer you with words and their muted intimations Forging you to a vessel to carry their water They lead you along like a lamb to the slaughter Body shaming, victim blaming, piercing, maiming, without aiming Paranoia, fear, isolation, resentment, hated sentiment, no longer sentient

Other Mother 08:10
She is coming for me This is lunacy The plot is thickening – her cauldron bubbling I can hear her claws clicking What is that sulfurous stench She is a ripeass hellwench Fomenting this malcontent Our little domestic incident Sick through with desire, green with fire Envy is a sooth sayer, truth teller , the one you admire The one you admire Twisted with pliars sick with desire lust is a liar- the other mother has me wrapped around, she's got me going down The Other Mother Has her hook in me She winds the line death by degrees Oh give me your thousand cuts A thousand and one Just for fun And I’m wrapped in her web so soft I’m a fly guy with my wings pulled off the other mother is sucking me dry there’s a smile on my face, never been so high “the body has a way to just shut that whole thing down” Its wicked how this something cums raping the monsters, birthing the stars I wanna shoot my arrow in Pins and needles; needles and pins she is my fentanyl femme fatale, anti-heroine Hero after hero fall at her plinth The Other Mother Has her rope on my neck She pulls it tight An explosion of lights I wanna climb over your trap door Pull the chord au revoir mi amore, I’m just a needle in her haystack knight in shining armor With a knife in my back This antimom is cracking my bone slap onna cheek, never been so alone… The Other Mother Deadly Lover The other mother Her love to smother To her faults be but a little blind a little dumb, or you'll lose your mind.... she aint no shrinking violet, she's breaking the silence, loving her violence....

Hag 06:23
On a Snowblind winter's day When you were so young Charcoal fingers brushed A tear from your cheek Carressing your milky flesh Leaving its ashen mark And gifting you with a kiss Of loneliness- Forever Girlchild, maiden queen Spinster crone Baby girl, bride of earthen mound Nymph and siren Their eyes turn away from you With disgust and fear One who is marked as such Should not be here Their whispering circulars Lying and spite One day you walked away Until the last ray of light From the White Life has made its Mark Mark of Ash Into the Dark Potential incarnate- Giving birth to the infinite spark Charcoal fingers Spear your heart And yet they turn their back... For one blood black mark... Last ray of Light By the mountain's Bulk Clear cold Springs Wash you Clean at last Of their hypocrisy and weakness Giving birth to cleansing fire!! EUGH In the dawn of your solitude Your ember's smoulder still Their whispers have turned to ash in their mouths Their shrieks were shrill What once could be born again Now born anew Twilight your laying down For the welcome rest Eternal Girlchild, maiden queen Spinster crone Regal and sere, bride of earthen mound Nymph and siren

about

This EP was conceived of and recorded in 2019 as an exploration of the ancient concept of the three sisters, Maiden, Mother, Crone. Through them I had an experience of The Muse- she impregnated me with the inspiration to compose the music found herein. I am eternally grateful to the feminine aspect of my persona- Without Witch all life would be stasis, philosophical remonstration, and pitiless suffering.
