Is that a light in the darkness I see? Or is it just the glittering steel of the Metal Gods emanating their power? Reminding us all that when we only see one set of footprints in the sand of strife behind us it is actually because Halford was carrying through these rough times all along. Reminding us that we shall never roam alone. Behold the disciples and their uplifting song! Blessed be!

Like a movie with the soundtrack running in reverse. Never knowing where the story begins or ends. Play it forwards, play it backwards, it doesn’t deter the Kängnäve flow. It doesn’t change the fact that this tape will inevitably put a stupid smirk on your uncouth face. So tuck it back my friend, and dance like nobody’s watching.

Fever dream vibes. Like being hopelessly entangled in sweaty sheets, sinking into a claustrophobic panic. You're listening to what people are saying but it doesn't make any sense, and it’s all just feels like a bunch of unsettling non-sequiturs.

You are trapped in a mountain cabin with your European lover. It’s snowing outside and all roads are closed. It’s their birthday, but you’ve no access to fancy dining or any sort of luxury to elevate the evening. All you have is 2 bottles of French Malbec, a bag of potato chips and this tape to guide you through the many mood swings that will inevitably materialize before the night is over. Your musical puberty has begun. Keep drinking and keep on rocking until you pass out from exhaustion. In the morning you shall awake as a fully-blossomed adult ready for another year. Never forget where you came from.
