With quaint use of Ye Olde English Language the ghostly presence of 12 legendary tracks re-tell local tales spread by word of mouth, dig up a post genre mix of Heavy Rock and Psychedelia with Classic Shock Rock frequency domination. Mesmerizingly dark ancient stories of yore gripped by history, using melodies 'bigger than giants' to melt minds, the tales that nearly always end in death, destruction and fall from grace.
