jamjamkiley Highly recommend it! Great vocals, rifts, energy. Album is great- a throwback in some ways to past metal/ hard rock in terms of feel and passion. Saw them live at RIPPLEFEST in Austin 2023. They rocked!! Favorite track: Return of the Warlords.

dsnow23 Been returning to this album since I first heard it so I picked it up on vinyl. Great heavy metal, catchy riffs, awesome stuff. The vinyl took a bit to deliver, but I was very surprised to see a hand written apology message about the delay in my delivery, as well as a copy of Optical Delusions to compensate. This kind of support goes a long way. You’ve earned a new dedicated fan for the great service and for the killer music. Favorite track: Grave Marauders.

Professor Groove Armed with tasty riffs and angelic harmonies, Warlung’s “Vulture’s Paradise” delves into a darker more sinister tonality that is a superb juxtaposition of their talent and depth. Favorite track: Vulture's Paradise.

Henrik Thøgersen Best Warlung album in ages, almost rivaling their debut, and I loved that one to death. Actually, this might be even better! Favorite track: Hypatia.

Colin M. A supremely groovy blend of psychedelic hard rock and retro heavy metal. Well done! Favorite track: Grave Marauders.

Hypatia 04:41
When in Rome, feel at home Wading the banks of the Nile On the line, a pagan mind Couldn't even give her a trial Hypatia screams Their violent schemes Were making her life harder Someway somehow Right here, right now Turn her into a martyr They stripped her naked in the street And burned her body in the heat Hypatia was murdered for her lies And using roof tiles, they carved out her eyes Ancient times, Jesus Christ Paving the way for the future Warped their minds, turned them blind The cult of the child destroyed her Hypatia screams Their violent schemes Were making her life harder Someway somehow Right here, right now Turn her into a martyr The girl must pay for all her sins A mob of Christians tore her limbs Hypatia takes her final breath Her only want now is looking forward to death Hypatia screams Their violent schemes Were making her life harder Someway somehow Right here, right now Turn her into a martyr

Sky Burial 05:55
Lay my bones upon the peak Call carrion birds, watch them feast Recycled life above the Earth We won't be laid underneath dirt My hell is your kingdom come My body calls, my heart it sings It culminates in disbelief Nature feeds the hungry beasts And shares with them my energy My hell is your kingdom come Sky burial, your spirit flies Soar with the eagles, you've already died A convocation grips the air A circulation that I must bear Speak a mantra for a Tibetan king They rip your flesh Used to fuel their wings Sky burial

I took a chance going out on the road There was nothing to see It used to be something we could forebode It became reality I'm alive, and I'll drive far as the eye can see And I'll strive to survive until my soul is freed And the lonely days come back to haunt me more The world was dreadful, not even a sound Government was diseased So many lives lost and so little found Our new society I was wrong all along Personal fallacy And this song, sing it strong From sea to shining sea And the lonely days come back to haunt me more

Demonocracy 05:50
As we bathe in the darkness In the mansions in the cities that we own We welcome you to the new world We're the architects of tryannic control Take a seat at our table Let me show you how we deceive and seduce We pretend to be good men Even Satan couldn't take all our abuse We are the darkness and we are the darkest of all time You will bow and surrender To the owners and the sellers of your mind Say goodbye to the old Gods Over time we will replace what was divine They'll worship our religion Like a mindless herd of obedient souls If you don't care to join us At the gallows you'll be hanging by your throats We are the darkness and we are the darkest of all time We allow here and now to praise a demagogue Posing as an underdog as he sits on his throne Wanna win? Gotta sin to play the devil's game Sell your soul and earn the fame, now it's in your control Evil lust, gotta trust we don't break promises Even if it's ominous, you have our guarantee Do the crime, do the time, I'm afraid it don't apply Laws are something that we can buy, it's a demonocracy We are the darkness and we are the darkest of all time

Blood moon rising as the shadows rape the land Bodies burning, it's the flame that paints the hand All that ways is forgotten, love was conquered by fear The return of the warlords are here Whores of Babylon, scarlet red just like the moon Piles of bodies on the dark side of the dune All the roads lead to nowhere when the sun disappears The return of the warlords are here Ancient writers stored the scrolls of sacred truth Burned in fire, historical deja vu Bone and blood fill the fountains It's become crystal clear The return of the warlords are here

Hypnotized with a golden chain My fingers running through my poor little brain Took my mind and gave it to you Sold my soul, ain't got a clue Bright lights in a smoky haze Strange eyes peering in my way Cheap liquor to cut the pain A thick fog creeping in my veins Sleep walking, keep talking Earn a living on marauding Please stop it, I beg you to pacify the pain Unlocking my coffin Harvesting all of my organs Grave robbing, I don't wan to die before I wake Stranger's hand inside my chest Filling their black market quest Breaking in to all that's mine Stealing everything that they can find Disregard for my flesh like jewels Rerouting, follow no rules Infections growing in my skin I start to panic and they all just grin Body's taking over, my mind's completely gone Spirit's being tortured, sutures come undone A recollection only fade to black Heads wrapped in a burlap sack Nightmarish flashes of you Feeling blades and surgical tubes Sutures break and I start to bleed Realized dreams were reality Waking up in a stranger's room I didn't know I had so much to lose Sleep walking, keep talking Earn a living on marauding Please stop it, I beg you to pacify the pain Unlocking my coffin Harvesting all of my organs Grave robbing, I don't wan to die before I wake Body's taking over, my mind's completely gone Spirit's being tortured, sutures come undone

Well the season's over, I got no place to go A nomadic loner, no place to call my home With a spear in hand, no way I'll ever lose In this modern world I can't escape from the caveman blues I'm a stone age stoner, I hunt and gather shrooms It's my own persona of prehistoric gloom I'm a Clovis man, an unusual recluse In this modern world I can't escape from the caveman blues I'm not educated cause it's the Holocene But I'm decorated with Venus figurines In a frozen land, no way to spread the news In this modern world I can't escape from the caveman blues

Say your name with pride Does it lose it's meaning over time? When it's time to die You must lose yourself and don't ask why Do the best you can, nobody calls anymore If it's coeval, past, present and future coexist Make it nonlocal, you must lose yourself and don't resist Do the best you can, nobody calls anymore There's no tomorrow Lost between the midnight moon and yesterday They held the secret Then melted the key that opens it up again There is no time, every single day is just a single day Nobody calls anymore

Runes 05:44
For centuries we took from their hands We sailed the seas in search of new lands Quietly, violently raiding their towns Norsemen kneel when we come around We faced the wind and pierced We're pale and thin and hungry for gold Hardened children brought up to fight Or else they won't make it through the night Widows of sailors are nowhere found Billows of failures, all dead Took all that we could fit in our hulls From wind to mead, we drank from their skulls Pagan souls possessed by the moon Tales of dead stayed chiseled on runes Widows of sailors are nowhere found Billows of failures, all dead

about

WARLUNG Houston, Texas

Founded in 2016, former members of Houston's The Dead Revolt and Rivers joined forces to push the limits of song writing and creativity. Inspired by the sounds of old, WARLUNG has taken what the 70's era of rock and psychedelia gave us and turned it into a hi-powered, white knuckled ride, down the rock n' roll highway. ... more
