Gildan Screenprinted Double-Sided Long Sleeve Shirt
T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital AlbumThis double sided screen printed shirt was commissioned from the legendary Branca Studio, who have worked with Black Sabbath, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and many other legendary bands.
The front design features a Persian gryphon, called a Shirdal. The Shirdal is an ancient heraldic symbol that was used to denote guardianship of the divine and the protection of kings, much like the Lamassu who adorn the gateways the cities and palaces of antiquity.
Folklorist Adrienne Mayor speculated that the legend of the gryphon was born out of the discovery of fossilised Protoceratops remains in the Scythian gold-mines of the Altai Mountains.
Modern Persians have adopted the Shirdal as a symbol of freedom and the struggle of resistance.
There are also prints of Shirdal on both sleeves and a large back-print featuring ancient ram stonework and the Lowen logo (designed by Alan Forbes).

lyrics
Wanderer, lost in the void
In your ship, broken and destroyed
You are the last Dysir
All these stars watch you as you disappear
You sailed your ship to the nearest base
Abandoned by an ancient race
All I see is empty
All your men have fallen here
Gravity pulling you towards the void
Where you will cease to be
Where you will cease to be
There you lie in your ship as it falls apart
Will you find a rock?
Will you find something to cling to?
This is your tomb in the sky
Where the last of your race will die
There you stand in your crypt in the stars
There you plan the funeral of your kind
As I command this ship of death
You are the last one
You are the last one
There you stand and gaze at death
You bear the curse to be the last of your race
There is no hope here
I am your end
In your ship, broken and destroyed
You are the last Dysir
All these stars watch you as you disappear
You sailed your ship to the nearest base
Abandoned by an ancient race
All I see is empty
All your men have fallen here
Gravity pulling you towards the void
Where you will cease to be
Where you will cease to be
There you lie in your ship as it falls apart
Will you find a rock?
Will you find something to cling to?
This is your tomb in the sky
Where the last of your race will die
There you stand in your crypt in the stars
There you plan the funeral of your kind
As I command this ship of death
You are the last one
You are the last one
There you stand and gaze at death
You bear the curse to be the last of your race
There is no hope here
I am your end

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed!

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smouldersupported by 78 fans who also own “A Crypt in the Stars”
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

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.
