One thousand lies per hour A man claim this "superpower" Defeat is clearly on its way We're sick to hear what you say You're full of shit and disgrace You'll be outta this place You mediocre You can't be star on our own show You can't take us outta control Defeat is clearly on its way We're sick to hear what you say You're full of shit and disgrace You'll be outta this place You mediocre I won't be tolerant with intolerance I'm down to play the classics! Death to fucking fascists! F-A-S-C-I-S-T-S, burn motherfuckers
2.	Awake 05:40	lyrics	buy track
I'm still awake, sun is rising Millions of eyes are doing the same The length of time is insane Sun is rising, and here I am, here I am From time to time, you find yourself in this Distant thoughts, deeper talks, untying knots And millions are doing the same again And here I am, here I am Actions, passions and lots of old regrets How can someone forget the past Awkward dance, foolish romance Would I sleep by any chance? A million thoughts are here to stay What would I say anyway? Sun is rising and here I am, here I am
3.	God Save The Robber (alternative version) 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Power gives a man the chance to change his life It also gives him chance to be the one that makes him proud Yeah but it ain't easy It ain't easy, it ain't easy! Build a castle and its walls to protect you from outside Where most of those who gave you power now want to eat you alive! Yeah it ain't easy It ain't easy, it ain't easy! You steal, you kill, you lie! Now it's your time to die You run, you hide and pray God save the robber! There's no way out, the price must be paid Stealing from your own kind, makes you the worst kind of man Yeah it ain't easy It ain't easy, it ain't easy! You steal, you kill, you lie! Now it's your time to die You run, you hide and pray God save the robber! You steal, you kill, you lie! Now it's your time to die You run, you hide and pray God save the robber!
4.	Refugee (alternative version) 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Keep me out of this war I don't carry no blame They're washing the way with blood Paying debts with life Keep me out of your desire I don't share the same They're washing the way with blood Paying debts with life Let me out! 8x The sky is red and bright And it spits death in metal shape There's nowhere to run This ain't what I call freedom!
5.	This Ain't a Dream (alternative version) 02:09	lyrics	buy track
Try not to drop it now It's just too precious you can't imagine how This is so fragile This is so nice It makes us happier It makes us fly Fly, lie, die Let us in disguise Let it hipnotize Feel the heat inside This is so hostile This ain't a dream It makes you feel the world Beneath your skin
6.	Poisoned (alternative version) 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Buy something to end your sadness It's not hard to find people selling their happiness It's not hard to find people selling their lives and people buying some lies In this hypocritical world You and I, we are lost in this maze You and I, we are locked in a cage You and I have been blinded by green paper sheets Ads on the streets, phony people and their fake speeches You and I... you and I We know all the truth We're poisoned but we like it We know all the truth We're poisoned but we like it
7.	Creepy Sugar (alternative version) 04:00	lyrics	buy track
I feel so dizzy A bite and you don't know The taste so sweet You laugh despite no humor You dive inside a pool of dreams and nostalgic lies Your mind is blown The sugar is creepy and slow I think I'll find the hardest way to get home You lose the meaning of talking and you feel alone The people near you, can't see the hole you've been thrown You dive inside a pool of dreams and nostalgic lies Your mind is blown The sugar is creepy and slow I think I'll find the hardest way to get home You wake up crazy enough To think your life isn't yours The hardest way to get home Leads you to the darkest endless room
8.	All I Know Is What I See (alternative version) 04:16	lyrics	buy track
All I know is what I see All I see is what I know All I want is what I need All I need is what I want So let me keep yourself to me I'll let you keep myself you All I want is up to me All I need is up to you So let me go further more Let me knock on your door All I say is what I mean All I mean is what I say All your love is what I need On my bed you should stay So let me keep yourself to me I'll let you keep myself you All I want is up to me All I need is up to you Let me go further more Let me knock on your door This and that All of these It just matches when you're with me All I know is what I see All I see is what I know All I want is what I need All I need is what I want So let me keep yourself to me I'll let you keep myself you All I want is up to me All I need is up to you So let me go further more Let me knock on your door... yeah This and that All of these It just matches when you're with me
9.	Silver Water (River Act cover) 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Listening the music echoing I see the endless horizon While the birds disappear in the sky The silver water announces the darkness Like a devil comes to take me To drown me in your immensity Silver water Drown me slowly in your waves Disappearing in the silver water My soul is going to the water Just like the sand Please, don't let me go Hold my hand Just hold my hand Silver water Drown me slowly in your waves Disappearing in the silver water Can you hear me screaming? I feel the water coming into my lungs Tell me that I'm dreaming Somehow it makes me alive Can you feel the wave breaking? Now it's time to dive Can you feel this? I never felt so alive Silver water Drown me slowly in your waves Disappearing in the silver water Silver water Drown me slowly in your waves Disappearing in the silver water Listening the music echoing I see the endless horizon While the birds disappear in the sky
10.	Chicken Shit (alternative version) 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Now it's your time Don't you like it honey? Won't you try start running? Keep on laughing at it? Can't you see me coming Won't you stop staring Won't you tell me you love me? Won't you tell me you want me? Can't you see that I'm right here? About to pull all of your skin Now this sign is telling Now the sky is falling We have reached limit Ate the chicken shit Gave our time and secrets Gave our life and bodies Won't you stay here with me? Won't you stay here with me? Can't you see that I'm right here? About to pull all of your skin Can't you see that I'm right here? About to pull all of your skin
11.	Invisible Matters (alternative version) 05:23	lyrics	buy track
Fight or stop to rescue? Hide or run to meet you? How may we treat you? Cause all you seem to believe are invisible matters Why does it happens? Why you pretend you're blind How may we treat you? Cause all you seem to believe are invisible matters

about

"Impressionante! Foda! Your new release is incredible. I loved every minute of it. It was very, very well done, good recording, great breakdowns, amazing solos, very, very excellent vocals. The combination of everything really, really moved me. The vibe, the energy, everything very, very original. You should be very happy for what you've accomplished and I'm looking foward to hearing more work from you guys..." (Derrick Green).

Like our first album 'Homemade Demo Tape' (2016), it was entirely recorded at home, produced by ourselves and mixed by Michel. In addition to two previously unreleased songs that open the album and the cover song 'Silver Water' by our friends from the band River Act, the rest of the album is made up of some new versions of songs from 'Homemade Demo Tape' and the entire 2017 EP 'Limestoner', featuring different arrangements and special guest appearances Débora Rezende and Carlos Eduardo Lucas (synthesizers and vocals, respectively, in 'All I Know Is What I See').

The idea of producing this album at home came up at the beginning of the year (2020), when we started testing some new equipment that we acquired at the end of last year and we had two songs almost ready that were left out of our last 2019 EP ‘Eggsplosion’. Still without money to return to a studio, at least until the end of the year, we decided to take advantage of these two new tracks, which had been abandoned for some time, to release new material in the first half of 2020. And since we were going to record at home, we decided to take advantage of the longer time available to record new versions of songs that were always present in the setlists and we thought they deserved a better recording from our performance as much as the mixing. So, we recorded new versions of all the tracks from 'Limestoner' [EP] and 4 tracks from 'Homemade Demo Tape', hence the idea of naming this album as its second volume, in addition to including a cover song by River Act, a band of friends from our neighboring town Iguatama-MG that we enjoy a lot.

On March 7, a Saturday afternoon at Mudo's house, we started recording. Paim recorded the drums for all 11 tracks on the same day. In the same week, Mudo started recording his guitars at home where the recording equipment was. Meanwhile, on March 11, WHO registered a COVID-19 pandemic and with the whole issue of isolation and social distance, we had to change our plans. Initially, the idea was to record all the instrumental parts in less than 3 weeks, schedule a weekend in April so that Filipe could come from Belo Horizonte, where he lives, to record the vocals, finish the production in May and schedule the release for June. Thus, Michel ended up recording his guitars at his own house, in Pains-MG. André was slowly recording the basses at Mudo's house. Débora also remotely recorded the synthesizers at her house. Carlinho was recorded at Mudo's house in May. The greatest difficulty in finalizing the album became the recording of Filipe's vocals since he was in quarantine in Belo Horizonte without any equipments. So, in the last week of May, we sent microphones, cables and an interface to record everything in his apartment. Thus, we were able to conclude the recordings at the beginning of June, while we remain distant and unable to rehearse, schedule concerts and meet everyone who helps and encourages us, but we hope you enjoy this album and listen from wherever you are.

I will always skip the tracks that blatantly sound like Ozzy and Black Sabbath, it's so over played and boring. it's all great until that singer starts up, and it's just another Ozzy copy 🤦🏻‍♂️ jd )))
