ExDeath Fantastic debut album. I struggle with every album listen trying to pick a favorite song because each song is just as impressive as the other.
Oh Energy tank, won’t you bless us mere earthlings with more tales from the beyond!
Favorite track: Jet Pack Juice.

In the year 20,00X... A boy and his dog, fed up with the world in which they lived, Decided it was time to leave their planet behind... On a never ending quest for new horizons, They’ve tipped the balance in the quantum fabric of space and time... The tides of dark matter have taken over And they have fallen into the abyss...

Stuck 03:19
I’ve been trudging around downtown Can’t seem to get around like I want to I don’t like being bound, or stuck to the ground Unmoving familiar faces Stumbling right through the small spaces My hands are bound, and I’m stuck on the ground I’m all up in my brain and searching Tryin’ to find... Looking for the answers and going Out of my mind... Bound to the earth, desires in the sky, I’m itching to groove... I’ve gotta get up off the ground, and make a move I’ve been fastened down to the pavement Reaching out but I just can’t take it I don’t like being bound, or stuck to the ground Time’s tied up, break into a fit Try so hard and sometimes fake it My hands are bound, and I’m stuck on the ground I’m all up in my brain and searching Tryin’ to find... Looking for the answers and going Out of my mind... Bound to the earth, desires in the sky, I’m itching to groove... I’ve gotta get up off the ground, and make a move Start a new groove, get up and move Start a new groove, get up and move Leaving this planet behind

I need a rocket to fly me into outer space I don’t care too much for the human race The jet pack juice isn’t good enough, I need some thrusters to get up I need some horsepower, to get me off this rock I’m gonna go, go far away I’ve gotta go, I just can’t stay Please just don’t get in my way I’m gonna build a rocket, I’ve got the blueprints in my brain I’ve collected all the parts, and they’re welded to the frame I’m ambitious, they’re superstitious, they call me crazy and insane But from the looks of it, their frame is kind of lame I’m gonna go, go far away I’ve gotta go, I just can’t stay Please just don’t get in my way My way… Conventional vehicles don’t cut it anymore Foot on the fuel injector, blast through the door Thank you Major Tom, this countdown’s engaged Don’t need no ground control, it’s time to fucking RAGE...

Brain’s in zero gravity, no signs of life in front of me I need you to make fun of me, eyes are blind and I can’t see Pinch a nerve, pinch some skin, space cadet I’m wrestling Blast into the universe, throat is strugglin’ with a thirst Never fret... Horse behind the cart It’s spike, then set! Never fret... We’re just trying to mess with your head Proving that it’s full of lead We’re just trying to mess with your head Observing skies overhead, signs that point can be read Always careful where I tread, the hunger now it’s getting fed Pinch a nerve, pinch some skin, space cadet I’m wrestling Blast into the universe, throat is strugglin’ with a thirst Never fret... Horse behind the cart It’s spike, then set! Never fret... We’re just trying to mess with your head Proving that it’s full of lead We’re just trying to mess with your head We’re just trying to mess with your head

Propelled by light, compelled by sights The energy pushes you forward, don’t look back... Mars is in the limelight And you can’t stop it It's set its sights It’s a fight for your life No flight, no flight, no flight Prepare to fight The wind is blowing black as night now It’s stirring up quite a fright Glue yourself down, attention is paid You can’t get away, get away Mars is in the limelight And you can’t stop it It’s set its sights It’s a fight for your life No flight, no flight, no flight Prepare to fight Drawn into conflict... No one’s there as you look to the side Not even with peripheral eyes Not even with peripheral eyes Mars is in the limelight And you can’t stop it It’s set its sights It’s a fight for your life No flight, no flight, no flight Prepare to fight

In the town square, on the islands of nowhere It’s a peaceful place, no one bothers with the rat race Then they infiltrate, the swine and a man full of hate They introduce happiness, with a box and a loaded kiss Tazmily, you don’t need the pig’s money You just have to learn to stand on your own Over time now, the village has sure grown But at what price, happiness we should have known When they infiltrate, the swine and a man full of hate They destroyed peace of mind, maybe one day we’ll still find... Tazmily, you don’t need the pig’s money You just have to learn to stand on your own In the town square, on the islands of nowhere Oh what it used to be, a place to live peacefully So they crushed a great place, they changed it just to taste They destroyed happiness, with a snout and a loaded kiss Tazmily, you won’t fight the pork army You’ll just have to learn to take back your home Infiltration by the snout, find a way to throw them out Infiltration by the snout, find a way to throw them out Down with the snout, take them out Down with the snout, take them out

Can’t stop, you got too caught up in the festivities... oh please Try again to prove your ridiculous hypothesis... dear me You say you’re getting closer, you say you’re growing taller Cleave the leash, cut loose, misuse, and waste yourself some more If you’re discreet, your threads won’t deplete Tell yourself it’s alright, right before you unravel Had a fit to get stitched up Now you’re falling apart again at the seams... Glad you’re not on my team Can’t stop you got caught again, this time you’re gonna jump right off Let yourself get dragged down into the flames, just to get burned again You say you’re getting closer, you say you’re growing taller Shed responsibility enjoy the ride and waste yourself some more If you’re discreet, your threads won’t deplete Tell yourself it’s alright, right before you unravel Had a fit, had to get stitched up Falling apart at the seams... Glad you’re not on my team Give me the needle...give me the thread... I’ll put you back together again Give me the needle...give me the thread... I’ll put you back together again If you’re discreet, your threads won’t deplete Tell yourself it’s alright, right before you unravel Had a fit, had to get stitched up Falling apart at the seams... Glad you’re not on my team

Fleshed out...Fleshed out... Fleshed out...Fleshed out... Shouldn’t walk around without clothes Sneaking by on tip toes Now you’re exposed, the info’s disclosed It’ll be tomorrow before you remember making any foes Now you’re exposed, the info’s disclosed It’ll be tomorrow before you remember making any foes Pop a pill, sit and chill Wear your other face and cut to the chase What you say... is never what you mean... What you mean... Getting by while fully clothed Entitlement sure was betrothed Now you’re exposed, the info’s disclosed It’ll be tomorrow before you even awaken I s'pose Now you’re exposed, the info’s disclosed It’ll be tomorrow before you even awaken I s'pose Pop a pill, sit and chill Wear your other face and cut to the chase What you say... is never what you mean... What you mean... Green is the color of your skin Green is the color of your skin Fleshed out...Flesh out... Fleshed out...Flesh... Pop a pill, sit and chill Wear your other face and cut to the chase What you say... is never what you mean... What you mean...

Spills 02:42
I cannot pretend that I like your presence To me it seems like there’s a lack of substance Floating around the ship in zero g All I can see is that your glass is empty Shattering on the floor Your glass, it breaks Clean up your spill while you can Before the spill seeps through to the core... Now that I pretend that I like your presence You take advantage and you dig your claws in Deeper with every single breath you take The decision’s mine, it is not yours to make Shattering on the floor Your glass, it breaks Clean up your spill while you can Before the spill seeps through to the core... Useless...Worthless...Useless…To you... We’re all... Useless...Worthless...Useless…To you... Shattering on the floor Your glass, it breaks Clean up your spill while you can Before the spill seeps through to the core...

Waves rolling in and out ever since the sea was born… She was torn... from it A dream drifting radically, away on the waves… On the way... Washed up on an unknown shore Brought by forces to do their chore A deed which they cannot perform A task forlorn...forlorn... Chasing after...even if it means drowning… In the deep sea... We’ll see, we’ll see... Chasing after...even if it means drowning… In the deep sea... We’ll see, we’ll see... Piecing the story together from the scraps of old… legends told Long after the first page was torn...she was born...to live Washed up on an unknown shore Brought by forces to do their chore A deed which they cannot perform A task forlorn...forlorn Chasing after...even if it means drowning… In the deep sea... We’ll see, we’ll see... Chasing after...even if it means drowning… In the deep sea... We’ll see, we’ll see... Found…drowned... We must be... We must be...gone We're still here...We're still here... We're still here...We're still here... Found…drowned... She can’t be... she can’t be...gone Found…drowned... We must be... We must be...gone

Don't Mind 03:41
I said I met you at dawn in the control room And I left you Friday night out on the rock I left you high and dry there on that hell hole But I’ll never leave my love like this again I’ll never leave my love like this again I woke up in the morning just to find you Strung out and half asleep in the bed But when I tried to find the time You just came and blew my mind And now I have to leave my love alone again Yeah, now I have to leave my love alone again I don’t mind Got no time If you left, you know it wouldn’t matter anyway I’ve come to find You’re not my kind But I guess you'll have to do for today I saw you in the hull the other morning You were goon eyed and looking not so bright When I tried to calm you down All I could do was frown And I knew I was in for a fight It was sure to be a long damn night I found you in the corner you were crying And I tried to ask you what the hell was wrong When you turned, right then I learned But I could not find the words I simply knew the love I found was gone Yeah I knew the love I had was gone I don’t mind Got no time If you left, you know it wouldn’t matter anyway I’ve come to find You’re not my kind But I guess you'll have to do for today You’re fighting for your life in a bubble Air tight and about to lose sight Can’t hear the words that I am sayin’ Black out, float out, and it’s “good night” You’re fighting for your life in a bubble You’re fighting for your life in a bubble

The way forward is always up Obscured by ignorance some don’t see You have to chase your dreams vertically You see through one eye only When you run into trouble Don’t call out for me Please just adjust your eyepiece accordingly Accordingly... Lift off... Road block head is in the way Gonna go straight through no matter what they say You see through one eye only When you run into trouble Don’t call out for me... Please just adjust your eyepiece accordingly Accordingly... Let your other eye wander You’ll find yourself lighter Light enough to float away To float away Cover the distance Sickened by the arrogance You can’t hear through the dissonance

Black Hole 05:19
Erased... by the human race Erased... by the human race Keep your mind in check Despite its defects No telling what we’ll see Now that we’re free...Now that we’re free... Out in this ocean Of stars and space Traveling ever so further Leaving no trace...Leaving no trace… Sucked through the unknown To another time and place Can’t wait to see More of this space… Focusing on the prize No matter what the size This source of energy Is just a tease...It tries please… Once we found the source We set a new course Inspired by what we see It’s time to flee...it’s time to flee... Came from the earth Vanished in outer space No longer a part Of the human race Erased by the human race Erased by the human race Black hole has found its course Ripped apart by the tidal force It's too late to postulate The fate of existence in this place We're gonna be... Erased by the human race Erased by the human race

about

Feeling a little stuck on our home planet, we decided to use the power of space rock n roll to lift us into the universe in search of the energy tank of inspiration. Our debut album takes us on a journey to seek out all that the universe has to offer. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Along the way, we will find other worlds. Some little, some big. All in our search for the source of all energy. Give it a listen, and join us in space!
