Merrow - Tumbleweed

OUT IN THE DIRT
UNDER THE GLEAMING DESERT SUN
A VAPID GROWTH ON HER ARID SKIN
SPROUTING THORNS LIKE TUMBLEWEED
FIERY BREATH OF A HARRIDAN EARTH
HER CROSSPATCH WINDS
THEY HEARSE ME HOME
I AM BORN ANEW
A DEAD HUSK
NEVER THRIVING, BLIGHT OF THE EARTH
FIERY BREATH OF A HARRIDAN EARTH
AMIDST THE YUCCA TREES
SOON TO WITHER AND DIE
WITHER AND DIE
WHISKED AWAY
LIKE A FRESHLY-FLOWN MAGGOT
LIKE A JADE-BACK PEST
NOW ONE IN DEATH
I'VE SEEN THEM IN DREAMS
THEIR BLOOD STAINS THE QUARTZ BELOW
TO MAKE ANEW MY HOME ON THEIR TOMB
GRIEVE FOR THE DESERT SON
DEAD HUSK
DEAD HUSK
OUT IN THE DIRT
UNDER THE GLEAMING DESERT SUN
A VAPID GROWTH ON HER ARID SKIN
SPROUTING THORNS LIKE TUMBLEWEED
FIERY BREATH OF A HARRIDAN EARTH
AN OVALLED RING SHATTERS BONE
A STONE SHATTERS GLASS
A FRACTURED HOME
I KNOW NOT OF THEIR LIFE
ONLY OF THEIR PAIN
THE TEARS OF THE CHILD
NURTURE HARDENED SOIL
UPON THE GROUND OF THE ELDERS
YOU KNEW IT WASN'T SAFE
YOU KNEW WE SHOULDN’T BE HERE
UPON THE GROUNDS OF THE MURDERERS
AND THE HEROES AND THE SAINTS
A CHILD FINDS HIS ONLY PEACE

[@KRIMHDrummer]

This song was a real challenge to learn but thanks for having me play drums on it. 🤘🏻

[@10thousandHoursOfPractice]

Man, when you two guys are on the same track yall never fail to deliver, you're such a sick nasty drummer dude

[@KeithMerrow]

Thank you for your art!

[@metalfather8139]

your amazing.... are you the guy i saw record drums through a grand piano and guitars with vogg

[@cynaptyc]

Great F'ing job! Got a groove, even! Love your work cause you're all in!!!

[@yuritarelko9916]

You did great job, man!

[@GordOlson]

KEITH! 🤘❤

[@timothymckane6362]

Dude, you did a good job doing those harsh, growling vocals!

[@BobbyPVZ]

Portugal here 🇵🇹 MERROW🏆💚

[@MetalGuitar911]

Mr.Merrow has a significant take on death metal with his distinct tones and focus on creating a terrific ambience....

[@greham]

Because it's now closer to black metal. Sounds a lot like French black metal (Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega). However, the very American production, though providing some thud to the guitars, sacrifices some clarity that is much needed to feel the atmosphere at its best...

[@cynaptyc]

Definitely pulls it's own ambience, "Merrowistic",there we go! 😉

[@JadeIsBunny]

@@greham it does sound very much like deathspell omega, but i feel like the vocals contribute just about as much to that feeling as the riffs, and merrow typically has no vocals on his tracks..

[@richardbutkis]

@@greham black metal? Not even close to any black metal vibes.

[@sdpd410]

Awesome song. KRIMH added excellent musicianship.

[@deerslayeraudio2441]

That is a SICK gold schecter!!!!

[@tthd]

Damn this was good! Morbid Angel vibes!

[@wormfost5578]

Hell yeah! That was some proper good shit!🤘

[@nikolaytrofimov4175]

This reminds me of Gorguts's album "Colored Sands" in a sense of atmosphere. Waiting for more!

[@KeithMerrow]

[@10thousandHoursOfPractice]

It does kind of have the same eerie atmosphere as colored sands, I see what you are saying

[@jeremydickenson8059]

Luc Lemay is good but Keith is gooder,

[@Hobostar1]

@@jeremydickenson8059 Uh,no he's not. Keith would even tell you Luc is leagues beyond him

[@jeremydickenson8059]

Gorguts are probably the most influential band to me and having met Luc a few times is great I was just saying I really like what Keith is doing

[@DEATHKNELLofficial]

Amazing... cheers from Himalyas....\m/...

[@dookietoon7198]

KRIMH is ridiculous. Star-studded lineup on this album

[@fromthethicket4370]

Finally, Merrow with vocals.

[@TobyKBTY]

Oh that’s some GOOD shit. I’m so glad you’re back, with new material to boot. It’s disgustingly heavy with suck atmosphere.

[@denniskoore]

Love how boomy the toms sound, great stuff

[@Eira666]

Kerim has a badass setup, and plays it like it owes him money.

[@BetonBenni]

Drumming is soooo sick 👌👌

[@cynaptyc]

Thanks Keith!!! Awesome as always!!

[@zondarx7racer]

The Schecter km3 lambo blue is one of the beautiful guitars ever made

[@K_R_N.]

Great to see someone with a large youtube following making proper death metal

[@red240red2]

Wow this is absolutely massive and very meticulously made. Didn’t even try to listen to to this on the phone. It deserves proper speakers.

Some HEAVY riffage! Definitely has a tinge of Gorguts in it, which is fine with me. I love that band and I love your playing as well. Great lineup on the EP too.

@@DjinnGSXR Keep those pesky normy metalheads out of this!!!111eleven

[@Chugz-n-Hugz]

I've been a solid fan for years and this new stuff is keeping me for many years more. Some serious Morbid angel vibes towards the end of this, definitely see the influence writing for Nightmarer has had as well. Atmospheric, heavy and dark as well. Really digging it dude!

[@nightingale769]

Glad I'm not the only one who got the Morbid Angel vibes, dark, heavy and mystic, particularly around the end, it reminds me of Formulas Fatal To The Flesh and Gateways to annihilation. Cheers from Morocco

[@JadeIsBunny]

the riffmaster is back! and those vocals are sick!
