about

All the way down.

Turtles was one of those old songs I found a demo of from 2008. I listened to the demo and went, "Holy shit! This is actually a really awesome song!" Start-to-finish it was probably the quickest song recorded on Termina, since it was all already laid out, I just had to rerecord it. I couldn't recapture the sound of the synth intro, so I just ganked it from the original demo recording. It's not plagiarism if you're ripping off yourself.

The vocals are vintage Onslaught Six, with me tearing through and going as high as I can go in parts.

lyrics

Skull, reborn
Hymen, torn
Religion, sex
Life, and death
Sacrifice, you bleed twice
Bones they wither, now come hither
Trust betrayed, the edges frayed
A corporate whore, who wants some more?

Turtle Crawls
Bodies Mauled
At world's Edge
Fluids Bled
Chrono Form
Breathe the Storm
System Failed
This ship Has sailed

Rip, tear
Blood, smear
Holy, sin
Rage, whim
Joker screams, "It's all a dream,"
Chaos breeds, what does it mean?!
Prayer faith, first love then hate
Venus' birth, to Gaea and Earth

Turtle Crawls
Bodies Mauled
At world's Edge
Fluids Bled
Chrono Form
Breathe the Storm
System Failed
This ship Has sailed

It's just Turtles
It's just Turtles
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down

Heavy, books
Over, looked
Fascist, breath
Cerebral, death
Dormroom suite, rent apartment
Flatline complex, doom involvement
Signs detect, in retrospect
Cyborg churn, and fever burn

Turtle Crawls
Bodies Mauled
At world's Edge
Fluids Bled
Chrono Form
Breathe the Storm
System Failed
This ship Has sailed

It's just Turtles
It's just Turtles
Turtles

Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down
Turtles all the way down

All the way down.

Onslaught Six recommends:

Hammond
by You Bred Raptors?

I'd write something to entice you but instead I'm just going to tell you it's a band called "You Bred Raptors?" and if that doesn't make you want to listen to it then you can get the fuck out. Onslaught Six

I Am The Night
by Perturbator

I had an elaborate parody of Patrick Bateman's "Huey Lewis and The News" bit from American Psycho here, but it's too big to fit the recommendation box. So...It's Perturbator. Go get it. Onslaught Six

Reapers
by Reapers

Female-fronted synthwave, retro electro, whatever you call it. I'm not going to lie: I'm biased because this is a side project of mine. That shouldn't stop you from listening to it. Onslaught Six

Pressure Mine
by Author & Punisher

Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2017
