Merrow - Palmdale Cemetery

Lyrics-
I.... FAIL TO REMEMBER SIGNIFICANT ERAS OF LIFE
FROM WHOM I EVOLVED
BUT INTO THE FAR BEYOND...
TROUBLED MIND REMEMBERS THE FEAR
FEAR OF THE MUMBLING MAN (MUMBLES)
SCARS ON MY SKIN FROM JOSHUA LEAVES
RECALLING A MEMORY OF HIDING IN TREES
LICKING THE WOUNDS
ALL CAN SEE THAT THESE CUTS STILL BLEED
I SLUMBERED UPON THE DECEASED
IN THE SAFETY OF DARKNESS
PAROXYSM OF HAZE
THE MIDNIGHT FOG
COLLECTS UPON MY BROW
HAVE I NEVER BEEN MORE ALONE OR AFRAID THAN RIGHT NOW?
COWERED IN THEIR RETICENCE
AN OMINOUS CALL
SHOCKING MY SENSES
FROM THEIR OBLONG BOX
INQUISITIVE HOUND
SIGNALS IN SILENCE
IT MUST BE OLD CLATTERBONES
SHIFTING STONES ON THE BLACK HORIZON
WHERE NARY A TOAD MAY CROAK
I FOUND DRY BONES
(BENEATH THE SAND)
I MADE AN OSSUARY
OF SCATTERED REMAINS
(AMONGST THE DEAD)
AT PALMDALE CEMETERY
I REFLECT ON A MOMENT OF ANGER
YOU WENT FROM HERO TO COWARD
TO MAKE STILL THE BREATH OF A CHILD
CRUSHING WEIGHT OF THE STYGIAN BLACK
I…NOW I REMEMBER SIGNIFICANT ERAS OF LIFE, AND HOW I EVOLVED
A BOY AND A DESERT ROSE
STRANGLED IN ANGER TRAMPLED TO DUST
TRAMPLED DOWN INTO THE SAND
SMASHED
LIKE THE MAN AND THE SPOTTED MARE
UPON THE TRAIL, SUREFOOTED AND CALM
FELLED BY A WASP, DESCENDED TO DEATH (DEATH)
ALL CAN SEE THAT THESE CUTS STILL BLEED
I SLUMBERED UPON THE DECEASED
IN THE SAFETY OF DARKNESS
I PUT MY HAND ON THE BLACK STONE HORSESHOE
WHERE EMERY AND WHIRLY LAY
AMIDST DECAY, STILL TO THIS DAY
AS IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED
YET ALL OF THE PAIN REMAINS
I FOUND DRY BONES
(BENEATH THE SAND)
THEY’VE MADE ME OH SO WEARY
OF ALL THAT REMAINS
(WITHIN MY HEAD)
OF PALMDALE CEMETERY

[@MadDjentah]

У них тоже тусич свой

[@markivory7121]

Ha! I'm in love with that last song you put out 2sich. So good

[@AbeldeBetancourt]

I didn't enjoy that much Merrow's music... Until now!!

[@ankigonzalez]

YES YES YES! Krimh and Merrow together are the best combi ever

[@jonyocum5622]

Crazy i just thought to myself yesterday... "I wonder how merrow is doing. Havent heard anything from him in a while.?" Ask and you shall receive. This is great. Gord is a monster vocalist! Thank you guys

[@JohnWiku]

I had the same epiphany a while back, turns out Merrow had just put his YT channel in hiatus, none of his vids were available, I almost had a heart attack that day! So happy to see him back again and releasing new material!!

[@palix5925]

I was thinking the same thing. Good to see him.

[@topsy7crets]

Oh shit, it's Gord Olson! He did vocals, drums, and guitar with Keith Merrow in Demisery 🤘🏻

[@MartinLink]

God I love seeing youw ith Gord.

[@planezero]

Olson & Merrow rule 🤘

[@mrcolin]

The descending-ascending melody is really cool

[@ericsmith6633]

Merrow is back baby!!!! Yes!!! The world needs you keith! Us musicians need ya!!! Look how many people are stoked you put a vid out! Killer man, just killer

[@DeathBringer769]

I like how the thumbnail makes the vocalist look like he's thinking "Hmm... what were those lyrics again?" lol :D

[@continuum288]

Excellent!.. On all fronts..

[@anthonychin8610]

So glad you and Gord are making music again. New Demisery would be amazing

[@lifeofagony1535]

Hell yes. His signature guitar is by far the best one I've ever played. Bought it on the spot.

[@55Ignis]

Been wanting the Toxic Smoke Green standard he's got out there. Just gotta save up for it.

[@tanky666hate]

Keith, the Gorguts/Deathspell Omega vibe it's incredible. I love It.

[@CaptnShred]

My soul needed more Merrow riffs. And the vocals are a very welcome addition. Badass track.

[@AngryTonesRiffClips]

This talent from ALL of you is absolutely phenomenal! Keith Merrow you are a musical genius brother! The melodies and arrangements are just perfect!

[@jimmypennell8831]

The pick drop at the end was a nice touch😅Awesome track.

[@chrisfinster1346]

This is the fucking jam. 2022 is truly looking sick.

[@chuggyy]

Now hang on just a SECOND... New Demisery comin' down the tubes? That would be just... spectacular.

[@nm-156]

This is Owning!! Keith...you fucking amaze me around every corner. 🖤

[@timothymckane6362]

This is the first time we actually hear a non-instrumental song from Merrow with Gord on the vocals. Good job!

[@superalex1988]

Haven’t heard their old Demisery album?

[@blahkaw98]

I'm so sorry for your loss dude. This song is excellent and I'm really glad to see another collaboration between you and Gord

[@beeemm2578]

Awesome, dissonant gloomy feel. Kick ass, brother

[@bratislavmusic]

It's gonna be the album of the year!

[@BobbyPVZ]

[@syzygy2464]

[@solarfallmori]

The part of 01:34 is amazing, it really creates a landscape, a fcking mood

[@JohnWiku]

Master Riff Lord Merrow is back! Cheers!

[@Caskron1]

With Keith Merrow riffs you don’t even need to read the name to instantly know who played them. Such a recognizable style, and one of my favorites \m/

[@iwannarockon2010]

Much love from Iowa 🤘

[@Jeffmetal42]

Killer tune! Gord's vocals are always sick af. He sounded great on the Demisery album as well. 🤘

[@vikingkombat9389]

More Conquering Dystopia Please. Thank you for sharing your music with the world.

[@shockthemonkey7046]

Amazing as usual… and a Gold-top KM7 - new spec? Its absolutely drop dead gorgeous…..

[@thedrunkenguitarist]

I'm glad you're back, Keith!

[@russellzauner]

It's good to see The Metal Lord publishing again. This reminds me of the time I died twice in Marion County, Oregon, and of the ones still laying under the moss at Silver Creek Falls who could not get back up. GOOD SHIT

[@russellzauner]

I am also reminded of bone instruments, or more specifically, The Twa Sisters, where a wandering musician created a bow and a fiddle using parts washed up from the sister who died in the river.

[@shadow1psc]

I grew up in Palmdale. This is pretty accurate.

[@ytmorgen]

Best thing since Demisery. Really amazing song, some actually interesting metal. Great job, can't wait to hear more!

[@55Ignis]

Keith Merrow, Ola Englund, Jeff Loomis, and a few other guitarists have me switching completely to Schecter. I know Jeffplays Jackson now but he's been a Schecter guy for a while.

[@Slormer]

Revollllllllllting. Mad clean but still muddy as hell in a gruesome way

[@DragonBiscuit]

Yessssssss! Bring it! ❤

[@bobkornbrust7138]

This is sick! Great musicians killing it

[@jeremydickenson8059]

So glad your back epic song

[@OrestGarasum]

STONKS !

[@mortificationstudio]

Insane track. 😈

[@oemusik]

significantly blackened. I like it

[@jamesduncan944]

Just deadly, Bros! Well done. Moving Death Metal forward.

[@SpendCroof]

To ooooooo heavy💪😉🤘 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 But playback amazing! Live instruments sounds another's.

[@onehandfencer3912]

[@andreasmayer1403]

Doggo joins the show to enjoy Keith playing at 00:47!

[@TheGregSobek]

What a lineup! Killer song guys!

[@kippwinger]

On the next Sunday With Ola: “Merrow is back, baby!” ~slams pic on desk~

[@cursetheserpent]

This brings back Demisery vibes. Hope you are well Keith.

[@user-jo2bn6nj3e]

Amazing song! That short solo/melody is very atmospheric, gives me chills!

[@amirerfani3260]

Amazing

[@bjmn7d]

Awesome song, love it

[@jojoplaysmusic]

LOVE the blackened elements. I don't know if this is just me, but the guitar tone sounded a bit trebley for a Merrow tone.

[@wesliggett2454]

Totally badass!!! Great work!

[@thirteenthandy]

Literally used to play in Palmdale Cemetery as a kid, as weird as that sounds.

[@Unearthing]

That is just pure epicness! Loving it!
