I literally cant wait to have this album blasting through my headphones. I was reminded a bit of the White Coats video with the distance shots of the band, at the start.

I'm sold. :)

Watching the video - the themes with JS shape remind me of the lp cover of Wishbone Ash - Argus, the winter trees of a Strawbs lp cover - From The Witchwood (or a print of Horst Janssen), and the water with some rocks - Alan Stivell - lp Before Landing
Not knowing if Dean even knows the name of this bands or has ever seen these lp covers, just my thoughts  ...

Could someone post here a version of the lyrics, please ???
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me

did you see? under the snow...the red glow...
i think it's where cthulhu lies dreaming, in the city of r'lyeh...ready to wake up!

love this song! can't wait for the winter...

No - It's a Pokemon Go figure (or a solar calculator).

@ lotus
well, i'm from germany, but i tried to figure out the lyrics. maybe some other input can fill in the gaps and eliminate misshearings

well i dream that i was running
trough a wilderness of plenty
and i could hear the hunt behind me
getting closer, getting closer

and i knew that the end was coming and i wish that it was over
bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind, bring me the winter
now the mercury keeps fryzing? and the sap of the blood in the oceans
and the ash... melting.....poison

and i can hear the soldiers coming and i wish that it was over
i felt them tocking? at my shoulder to come and join in the celebration
the marked trail of the emperor the apocary?hipocary? of the everblasting summer

and the streets were washed with the blood of the innocent sacrificed to slaughter
and the crowds all drunk with power and madness as the noise grew ever louder
and i can hear the knives been sharpened and i wish that it was over

and all the sins of the past been buried in the frozen ground
and the last of the vengeance fires died
the black birds flying high obove the skeleton trees
disappear into the white...

so let the weary lands be rested
and the killing season over
and the shadows stretch forever in the lights of burning silver

i feel the age of consequence and i wish that it was over...


and does someone have an idea about the red, hot spot in the vid?
i really had to think about some lovecraftian myth of something sleeping under the ice in the antartica...
ever tried. ever failed. no matter.
try again. fail again. fail better.

Ok I'm a bit biased and have been known to like the odd nma tune in my time, but I've got to say I fckin love this song, I've probably listened to it about 40 times over the last few days, its constantly stuck in my head

@ cthulhu
Thanks a lot -  many gasps are filled now - and perhaps Pol can fill the rest about more than 40 times  of listenings?

What a song and the lyrics of JS- they are timeless and top one in this business this year for me
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me

Typically fine poetic like JS lyrics, the quality of which we are privileged to expect as standard.  Thanks for giving it a bash cthulhu.  :)

I am sure in time the lyrics will appear on the main site lyrics list for you to iron out any errors.

Mercury keeps raising
Tugging at my shoulder
Is it  asphalt melting ?

See what others gaps I can fill lol

Not sure what you mean about the hot spot, do you mean the bit at the very end with the birds in the distance, I thought it was vultures picking over a corpse

Yes the small red spot or square appears at 3.50 in the video when the birds are circling. Have to say, first time I watched it I wondered if I had really seen it or not in this otherwise black / white video. May be VS could shed some light on it ?

Is the red dot something the crows are feeding on?

Kinda like the vultures or probably crows in this case picking over the carcass of the earth, well that's my view probably wildly wrong

as you mention it, i see it now also as birds picking on a dead body. a warm, bloody body in the snow. my first thoughts were it is something glowing underneath the snow.
