So glad you’ve come to stay
Say you’ll never go away
Not much more needs to be said
I’ve been hanging loose on threads
The house was near the road
Can you hear the sparrows sing?
I shall be released
In this lonely crowd
I shall be released
And I’m crying out
In this lonely crowd
Crying out in this lonely crowd
My loves were out the moon
Like dogs strutting in a ditch
In the dance of loneliness
Doesn’t mean a goddamn thing
Just to know you’re there
I’ll be standing in the doorway
The house is near the road
Can you hear the sparrows sing?
I shall be released
In this lonely crowd
I shall be released
And I’m crying out
I shall be released
In this lonely crowd
I shall be released
And I’m crying out
In this lonely crowd
Crying out in this lonely crowd
Crying out in this lonely crowd
I shall be released
I shall be released
In this lonely crowd
And I’m crying out
In this lonely crowd
And I’m crying out
In this lonely crowd
And I’m crying out
In this lonely crowd
And I’m crying out
Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into in their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
Swansea Skag cuts a defiant path through indie, writing songs that embrace lo-fi balladry as effortlessly as they do wild experimentation. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 4, 2023
I've never thought that there is something interesting in trash metal since Slayer's Divine Intervention, but this is fu***ng good. The guitars cut like razor's blade. Marcin Wielewski
