Jyri Straechav Mose Giganticus's "Gift Horse" is epic. The band's other offerings pale in comparison by an incredible margin. If this band had been like this from the start, I would have been their fan for years now. The vocals are basically Mastodon at its best, but all the time, and with the addition of Vocoder effects which makes the vocals sound very interesting. The music is not terribly surprising, but is good, and at times excellent. Mastodon and their ilk are obvious major influences. Favorite track: Last Resort.

Last Resort 04:02
master of light creator of sky and sea suffer and die conditional mercy face to the ground worship and fear me beckon the call the echo is deafening rise, rise to the stage and be counted, ordered aligned to stand on the shoulders of giants rise, rise to the path of the righteous, glory silence those who would stand in defiance i am your everything i am control i am security i'm what you've made me to be i am eternity i'm what you know i am your fantasy i am your god awake from the dark millenia laid to waste this is the sound the dawn of a new day written to law those who deny me shiver and cry at the hands of the saintly wander the skies never to rest again the damage is done you've already chosen rise, rise to the stage and be counted, ordered aligned to stand on the shoulders of giants rise, rise to the path of the righteous, glory silence those who would stand in defiance i am your everything i am control i am security i am your last resort i am eternity i'm what you know i am your fantasy i am your god

Demon Tusk 03:43
grasping for direction i am the one who would not break seeding an obsession never forgiven, never saved this repetition is strecthing me thin i've grown tired of lying in wait are you so convinced that you'll still be invincible after you've sealed my fate light's fall night's birth gathered around me the forsaken their kin and their bretheren you know me you need this opponent wrathful, seething outlet surrender time has run out these sons of Abraham have given me no choice following the word of law blindly as it's told embrace this sentence, I'm committed to this role delivered from imprisonment to sit on serpent's throne light's fall night's birth you know me you need this opponent wrathful, seething outlet surrender

Days of Yore 03:46
trust, loyalty, servitude respect, patience, sincerity incensed, justice, nevermore outcast, wanderer, criminal exiled in the days of yore silence, darkness, solitude distance, victory, limitless lost, hopeless, merciless broken, faithless, forsaken desperate in the days of yore i never wanted this i never asked for this this imposition is exhausting dedication lost unforgivable fate forced my hand choked by your pride when I approached your throne i asked for nothing but a chance to prove my worth an independent path for the betterment i've attained the impossible exiled in the days of yore desperate in the days of yore

dark sun, black flame biding, waiting watcher, titan judgment pending cast asunder, buried in blame burdened to carry this epic disgrace learning to savor the salt of my wounds nourished by the bitter taste ive got something against you we'll never be able to settle the score the song is the same thing you've offered me nothing i've heard it before distorted revision its easy to weight a one sided account eternally bound in the struggle to know which is the great deceiver fight fire with fire burning the bridges fanning the flames the time of the cleansing but after it's over, what's left to be saved sentenced, condemned unchained, banished vowing vengeance dominion challenged exposed tyrant ive got something against you we'll never be able to settle the score the song is the same thing you've offered me nothing i've heard it before distorted revision its easy to weight a one sided account eternally bound in the struggle to know which is the great deceiver

White Horse 04:52
dark sky warning mounting tension conflict white horse fall back waning essence conquest among disorder the players find their places prescient visions come to light faithful rewarded to stand against the immitator solidify the last divide those who are worthy of recoginition in my graces needn't be afraid to die your sons and daughters follow in the path we gave them ringing in the end of time march on rags and bones earning the paradise to come trust in the highest and all your sins will be forgiven courage found to heed the call our strength relies on your service and obedience devotion to the word of law reject the knowledge, the origin of past offenses lead the way to cull the flock purge the pariah, the consequence of arrogance collapsing at the bitter end of it all dark sky warning mounting tension conflict white horse fall back waning essence conquest march on rags and bones earning the paradise to come

we were deniers those charged without belief they'd say their convictions would save us they speak of tomorrow with lips and tongues so sweet they prey on the sin of the blameless they were the liars the wolves in clothes of sheep we'd pay for the debt of the angels we're the remainder those left behind to sleep we stand at the end of the ages you keep telling me I'd have everything you promised me everything I want and you'd keep telling me you're going to help me that you're going to save me, but you won't and now I'm in too deep all I have left is sleep
