Hey Scumbag! What you got in your hands Pouches and needles chock full of bliss Walk round the corner, get what’s yours Hit that hot shot, look at him go Hey Scumbag! Our time is long gone There’s nothing here, for us any more Our drinks and our drugs, are out the door Let’s hit that hot shot, look at us go

From the ice Comes a creature Immense and strong Demanding fear All the unbelievers Begging for forgiveness Human kind On its knees oh no No remorse No understanding Plain agony Destruction and death All the unbelievers Begging for forgiveness Human kind On its knees oh no

In the mist of dreams I’m lost once again Seducing images dance right in front of my head what is this beast that’s looking right at me his eyes are deep and kind ferociously built Who are you Tenbones He’s here to save me or he's come for the kill The cuckoo whispers but whom I to believe Upon his shoulders the whole of dreaming stands So I will follow him to the centre of this world yeah Who are you Tenbones Ashore the island landing confused and dazed The beast beside me looks at me and waves Under the sand there is a worm that holds the truth Under the sand there is a worm that tells the truth yeah Who are you Tenbones

Descent unto the psychedelic doom Within the eyes of man awakes The demon that we all hold within Follow the bright path to the outside world Plight fall upon the misbegotten lives Their gaze fixed upon golden calves Misconceived and vain are human ends Pestilence and war is all around Many make one enduring consciousness This beehive is strong but its fragile Cracks appear where previously there were none Cracks appear and grow wider and wider

about

This is the inaugural demo of Bastard Sword, a doom band from Athens, Greece. It consists of two chapters.

Chapter one (THE OUTTAKES), includes two early demos for tracks intended for our upcoming album. For various reasons, they did not end up in the album, but the demos are in pretty good shape. We still love both of them, so here they are, for your (dubious) ear pleasure.

Chapter two, is a set of raw live recordings of three tracks from our upcoming debut album (coming out in April 2023 via Sound Effect Records). On December 23, 2022, right before the holiday season went full swing, the band met in Feedback Studios in Pangrati, Athens to live for the very first time.
At that point, we had not even played a gig together, so this was kind of a big deal to us.
Dime St helped us set up and let us play as loud as we wanted (which is very). The result is the three noisy, rowdy and vibrant tracks in this demo. They were rudimentary mixed, with no edits, comps or overdubs, in the hope that the real experience we felt in that studio is still there for you. We dubbed this session PANGRATIC LIFE COMPLETE, as it was the first real milestone we achieved as a band (and we just can't resist a Sleep reference)
