Fog the Mirror
Take a breath
I never gave up on you- now you're back from the dead
I never stopped holding out hope for you no matter what they all said
Now you're alive, or at least upright once more
Open your eyes, prepare for the morbid encore!
Fog the Mirror
It's been a long week since you've been out of the ground
Do you wonder if that awful reek is following you around
Why are you here? Instead of your final rest
You wasted your life on irony and now you're wasting your undeath
Buried in your battle vest
Inscribed on your chest-
For insults suffered in life
Death is the best revenge
For real and imagined slights
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
As payback for pain and strife
Only loss avenges
For real and imagined slights
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
Fog the mirror
Fucking breathe!
Its time to face facts
You're not the same guy
We paid our respects to who you were when you were alive
The state that you're in
Steady advancing decay
We just can't let you keep on rotting this way
Fog the mirror
This is your last chance
You get his arms, I'll grab a leg
Before this night is over we'll have you back in the grave
And you'll finally be resting, if not deceased
Resting in pieces if not resting in peace
Limb by limb
We are taking you apart
Organ and again
Down to your ragged heart
For insults suffered in life
Death is the best revenge
For real and imagined slights
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
As payback for pain and strife
Only loss avenges
For real and imagined slights
Revenge, revenge, revenge!

My Girl
You are my world
Stay True
Always be you
Always a missing piece
Don't make me feel my feelings
Always digging deep
No dept so low I've not been underneath
Ride the railing over under torn asunder you wonder why?
Always running late
One step ahead to procrastinate
Lost in a senseless self
I searched from top to bottom shelf
Hide the human failing aimless flailing recite your litany
Of lies
Before I met you I lived in fear
That my truth would never appear
Your gift of innocence drives my cares away
I will hold you tight and together we will stay alive
My girl
You are my world
stay true
Always be you
Endure
The Cure
I recall my lowest day
It was New Years 2008
Stumbledrunk and popping pills
to set against life's persistent ills
Falling headlong downwards sideways innards
Sick to save my life
Dark days and a steep decent
Free falling into my decadence
I tried every key
For the locked up place inside of me
But I could never be prepared for the revelation of opening
Before I met you I lived in fear
That my truth would never appear
Your gift of innocence drives my cares away
I will hold you tight and together we will stay alive

Fearful Symmetry

Tyger Tyger burning bright
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
could frame thy fearful symmetry
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Fortress of Solitude

My fortress
of Solitude
Impregnable
Black Iron Prison
Monument
to Loneliness
unassailable
vast distance
Take your time away, take your time away
from yourself today, don't delay, its almost too late
the silence creeps up as you time your self-destruct and thus you begin
to Abnegate
The dust and silt settles in and the filth begins to accumulate
at an alarming rate
dried out husk, chained within, forced to meditate
into a vegetative state!
Mummified alive, what fresh hell is this??
no escape from your doomed existence
sublimate your futile resistance,
what terrifying distance!
No lust
no trust is lost
mote dust
no paths are crossed
no more politics
or social media campaigns
no more bots
no more brains
I'm Shanghaied to my retreat within
against my will there is introspection
mind dissection!
No affection post erection natural selection the wrong direction
no protection
My fortress
of Solitude
Impregnable
Black Iron Prison
Monument
to Loneliness
unassailable
vast distance
My fortress of Solitude- black iron prison

Dusk
At the last light
Emerge the Parasite
Now comes the worm invasion
you can't satiate them
they feast upon your feces
they are the dominant species
wriggling around your anus
as if to say "you can't contain us"
sensation that controls us
that cause schizoid psychosis
Time to clean every surface
your poor hygiene deserves this
you must wash everything you've touched
treat your ass like a controlled substance
Spewing eggs by the thousand
when they peak out your south end
wash your bedclothes daily and what you've worn
don't shake it or the eggs are airborne
Mebandazole, Albendazole, Stromectol, PYRANTEL
SURPRISE! its the worms again
you thought that your ordeal was at end but
NO! Those bastard nematodes
feel like the size of a garden hose
FUCK! They just keep coming back
until you learn just how to attack them, papaya, carrots
and oil of coco
nut extract of wormwood- how apropos!
Now comes the worm invasion...

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 6 fans who also own “Fog the Mirror Demo 2018”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
