8th Plague
Liner Notes
Part of ENTOMOLOGICON, my Experimental Progressive #Metal project exploring Insects and other bugs through sound sampling, exotic instruments, unusual time signatures, and atypical vocal styles.
This #drone #doom song takes you into the middle of a swarm of locusts and attempts to evoke their impossible, endless hunger- and its consequences.

Lyrics
The swarm; Thicker than your blood, sicker than the firstborn son. The rivers run with wings, reddening the sky, killing off the things that grow 'til nothing's left at all.
And they wont stop 'til the final fill is found- 'til the grasses have been stripped to desecrated ground. They're never satisfied. So the mandibles cannibalize- they savor lips and tongues and eyes- there's nothing they won't try to devour to feed their flight.
Comments
I know this is the obvious take here but you're absolutely giving me Tool here - this is so well done
Trust me, I will never miss an opportunity to be compared to Tool. <3 Thank you!
This is so good!!! I love the locust sound, so haunting. Fantastic work on the guitar, had me bobbing my head and dancing in my bed haha! The lyrics are creepy and so creative- “Thicker than your blood, sicker than the firstborn son” & “So the mandibles cannibalize” are my favorites. Really awesome stuff!
