LOBH II: Recreational Sorcery

by Lords of Beacon House

supported by
Lute FP

Lute FP Psychedelic doom to be sure, but there’s genius going on here. In an oversaturated field the vocals set this apart as something distinctive, but the musicianship is so good you almost don’t notice until deep into the album. Songwriting is superb, and the tones and production do an amazing job of sounding like this was produced in 1975. This holds up brilliantly next to the likes of Uncle Acid, Pentagram, and of course... Sabbath

Update: Top 5 modern doom albums! I can’t stop listening to
FDJ (Desert Psychlist)

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Kick ass grooves decorated in clean distinctive vocal tones. A damn fine mix of bluesy swagger and gritty stoner/desert riffage guaranteed to get a positive reaction from all the usual stoner,doom and psych crowd. Favorite track: Graveyard Blues.

I wasn't lookin' for a Black Magik woman But I found one anyways. Before I knew it, had me acting a fool Found I was falling for Her wicked ways. All she had to do was kiss me I never knew what hit me Its true the Goddess of Gloom is out to get me Its Recreational Sorcery blues. And when a black cat crosses my path I know there's trouble coming And Lord I should be running, But no, I got Voodoo of my own. And when I catch Her That woman ain't a match for Me, oh no I got Voodoo of my own. I wasn't lookin' for a Black Magik woman But I found one anyways. The stakes grew higher I was lowered to the Fire, I was livin' out my final days. All she had to do was kiss me I never knew what hit me Its true the Goddess of Gloom is out to get me. Its Recreational Sorcery blues

Truth be told I'm growing colder Death she beckons o'er and o'er So we dance, Graveyard romance. Relinquish this cross from my hands. Bitter tastes the tongue That often telleth lies Heavy sits the head That wears a crown of flies. Vultures wait They know my fate This Soul's burden is much too great. Rest assured He wont endure, You can quoth this Raven nevermore. Bitter tastes the tongue That often telleth lies Heavy sits the head That wears a crown of flies. Righteous in nature but Evil by will Severed from Spirit and programmed to kill The Darkness you think you know, It grows ever darker, still. And when it finds you, it will remind you Of all the sins you tried to leave behind you. A coronation! A celebration is in order For the beast that sleeps inside you. Time doesnt wait, and it doesnt forgive Dont wait to die, find you never did live. Dont look outside yourself, For the Kingdom of Heaven's within. Forget your Ego, Forget your name. Covet the Light, The Imperishable Flame! For all that in Darkness lives, Will be brought to Light again. When Darkness finds you, it will remind you Of all the sins you tried to leave behind you. A celebration! The coronation is in order For the beast that sleeps inside you. And when it finds you, it will remind you Of all the evil things you left behind you. A coronation! A celebation is in order For the beast that sleeps inside you. Forget your Ego, Forget your name. Covet the Light, The Imperishable Flame! For all that in Darkness lives, Will be brought to Light again. When Darkness finds you, it will remind you Of all the sins you tried to leave behind you. A celebration! The coronation is in order For the beast that sleeps inside you. And when it finds you, it will remind you Of all the evil things you left behind you. A coronation! A celebation is in order For the beast that sleeps inside you. It reigns inside you. It lives inside you.

Fool's Gold 06:53
Oh, I didn't know that Paradise would be so cold I wish somebody would've told me before I sold my Soul. Now im buried 'neath the sands of Time Looking for what I'll never find. Am I losing my head or is it all in my mind? Take from what you can Baby I will understand Take from me what you will baby I will love you still Take from me what you need Baby it don't bother me, oh no. Oh, I shoulda known that Paradise would be a lie I'll lay my bones to Die alone beneath the Western Sky Buried 'neath the sands of Time Looking for what I'll never find Am I losing my head or is it all in my mind? Take from what you can Baby I will understand Take from me what you will baby I will love you still Take from me what you need Baby it don't bother me, oh no. (I don't know but I been told All that glitters is Fool's Gold)

Don't know which day today is To me they're all the same. And my only music is the Rattle of the change in my pockets Baby Don't know which way straight is Yes I been lost for days Told my baby that I would be soon It's been many a moon since I saw her face Lo, my will is weak And my fortune's none All my ties are nearly severed. I can't set me free So I seek The One, Don't want to live like this forever. Death caresses me Sin undresses me, only to find Im made of Light Dressed in confusion Blessed illusion You won't see me I'm out of sight I wear my poor man's furs just right.

Ol' Black Rider A dog without his chain Wild and untame Ol' Black Rider No master, no name A Bastard you'll remain Ol' Black Rider Of skin and sin Our Son is born Poised to shed the Human Form Ol' Black Rider No master, no name A Bastard you'll remain

Ive been away Been away so long Many Winters Ive been gone. I grew my hair and didnt care to speak Many Winters I was free. I grew so old I couldn't hold my teeth Many Winters I did sleep I lost my faith along the way somewhere Many Winters I despaired Now Misery sits next to me The Tourniquet of Destiny Is tied I've been away Been away so long Many Winters I been gone I quit my name Abandoned God And sought for me A righteous nod. Now Misery sits next to me The Tourniquet of Destiny is tied. The world it see's me smiling But believe me i'm dying inside. Left with nothing to else, Taunting Death I pick and choose My poison.

Up the high country, down the valleys low Hard luck baby everywhere I go Saw the big city, couldn't dig the scene The living was hard and the people were mean. That's why I feel I have to go, Don't care what I find, got ramblin' on my mind And the Devil's weighing heavy on my Soul. Stuck in high water, lost in the sticks Gettin' my kicks on the 66 No sleep, no money, no peace of mind Still looking for something I can't seem to find That's why I feel I have to go Don't care what I find, got ramblin' on my mind And the Devil's weighing heavy on my Soul. Oh Life is hard and blood is cheap And Death alone will set you free Down Devil Dog Road I go Its the only road I know Oh Life is hard and blood is cheap And Love will only make you weak Oh Life is hard and blood is cheap And Death alone will set you free. Gotta dig a hole to put the Devil in...
